[syfer1987]

Hi, I want to start learning it computer technician course but I am confused in which one I should start off with as there are so many exams and qualification so which one should I learn?

For starters you're going to need to learn how to use the shift button on your keyboard it - IT

What country are you from?

I am from the uk but I would like to work in Dabi or maybe Singapore.

How old are you then? In Denmark there is an IT Supporter education, where you learn a lot of different skills, and get som certifications. Maybe there is something like it in the UK

IT Support Technician maybe?

Youll need better english for starters, and to work in Asia youll need a second language - Manderin will help there

Here's some info on the role: https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/job-profiles/it-support-technician

Your best bet would be to start with an apprenticeship in IT support, you'll need GCSE grades A-C in both English and Maths and unfortunately your English skills may not meet the required standards so consider doing some assessments on both of these to find out if you need to top your education qualifications up first.

Once you are in work as an IT technician, you'll then need to work your way up to 2nd and 3rd tier support before starting work with established companies that have a global presence. From there the world is literally your oyster.

Yeah, I'll just say it: Posting a massive post like that, specially/even more one with a full page job description isn't the very best idea. As I doubt many will bother reading it at all unfortunately dude. You'd be better off linking it, IF you can.

Also, no offense or so, but if you're 29 coming onto 30 and living in the UK, your English needs to improve, like some have already said. I am personally soon only 24 and lived in Scandinavia my entire life. And even I can both see your degree in the English language and therefore agree with many of the above replies unfortunately.

Nothing personal here or so meant though dude, so please don't take it the wrong way.

And I used to think that Scandinavian people spoke better English than the British do !!!!

Seriously though I agree that the OP needs to work on his language skills.

Hi Mate,
Just throwing my 10 pence in here. I am currently doing a Foundation Computer Science Degree with a local University, I have just completed my first year.

If it's anything like mine then be aware as it's not easy and involves a lot of commitment, especially if you have outside responsibilities. I currently work full time and am a full time father and husband. If you have other responsibilities it's hard going, be prepared to sacrifice a lot of time away from them (and the games ).

If you can devote 100% to it then great, go for it. Just make sure you know what you are getting in to if it requires a lot of your time .

I've been in the IT industry for over a decade now, having transitioned from a medical logistics background. Instead of going through the normal 'college/university-into-entry level IT job' route, my secondary role in the US Military was setting up the computer IT networks for deployments during the 80's & 90's. That gave me a huge amount of experience that translated into what employers wanted: work experience. I wound up (much) later on getting a degree in IT as well as the proper certification courses that allow me to keep my job.

Here in Spain there is a two year dimploma of a sort to be an IT Technician but the jobs on offer always ask for more than what they teach you like Microsoft Certified courses and whatnot, saying that, here the IT Technicians can pretty much only work in an IT repair shop whereas jobs for system administrators are everywhere which is another two year course which compliments the first IT Technician 2 year course.

Only after doing the second IT course here you can go to University and do an IT Engineer course which I have been told is pretty much all theory and little hands on.

I am in a similar boat. On my course they teach you the theory behind it all but not actually the tools you need for on the job.

I am doing a Sistems Administrator one now as it seems there is more work in the area of things but wouldn't mind going all the way and doing a university one like you.
