Description
IT Help Desk and Technical Support — With Real Examples is a comprehensive course covering the practical skills and professional knowledge relevant to IT support and help desk roles.
The course is built around real-world demonstrations, realistic roleplay scenarios, and hands-on exercises rather than slides and theory. It covers the most common technical issues encountered in support environments, including slow computers, software errors, network connectivity problems, printer failures, and password resets, with clear step-by-step guidance throughout.
Beyond technical troubleshooting, the course addresses the professional skills that matter just as much in a support role: communicating clearly with users, managing difficult conversations, logging and managing support tickets, escalating incidents appropriately, and delivering consistent, professional service. Security awareness is also covered, including recognising potential virus infections, understanding password management, and responding to common threats that target help desk staff.
Students will get experience with Microsoft Quick Assist for remote support, and the course includes dedicated coverage of AI-powered workflows using Claude and other AI tools, showing how they can be used to diagnose issues, draft ticket responses, and generate troubleshooting guides more efficiently.
The course is designed for aspiring IT professionals, career changers, students, recent graduates, and current help desk staff looking to develop their skills further.
Upon completion, students receive a Certificate of Completion suitable for adding to a résumé or LinkedIn profile.
