Information technology is a wide and varied field. While it’s possible to just jump in and start an IT career with on-the-job training in a very specific niche, it helps to learn the basics from the ground up. That way, learners earn a thorough command of all the disciplines they’ll need to take their career in the direction they ultimately want to go.

That’s the training at the heart of the Complete 2022 IT Career Kickstarter Bundle. The six-course, 165-hour collection features deep-dives into all the most critical knowledge areas for any budding IT worker, along with the direct training for certification exams that can earn newcomers respect as they launch a job search.

CompTIA is the world’s foremost accrediting body for baseline IT skills, so it’s no surprise this collection is founded on three key CompTiA certification courses. CompTIA A+ is an entry-level standard, offering new IT students an overview of all the most important areas, including how to configure operating systems, hardware, and peripherals; basic IT infrastructure, including device connectivity, troubleshooting, and networking; as well as baseline cybersecurity skills like data privacy, removing malicious software, and physical security.

Meanwhile, that foundational training continues with 4.5 out of 5-star-rated CompTIA IT Fundamentals+, exploring more foundational IT skill-sets; and CompTIA Network+, plunging deeper into all aspects of IT architecture, including installation, configuration, security, and even troubleshooting.

Networking is always another IT hot spot, so the Cisco Certified Technician (CCT) Routing and Switching course looks at the practice from the authority of Cisco, the world’s foremost networking company.

And the training finishes with a close look at the world’s most popular commercial operating systems in the Apple Certified Support Professional MacOS 11 and Microsoft MD-100: Windows 10 courses. 

The Complete 2022 IT Career Kickstarter Bundle is a nearly $1,800 collection of premium training, but right now, it’s just $59, less than $10 per course.
