FAQs

What will you learn in this introductory IT infrastructure training?

Take this course and you'll learn how computers, servers and networks work on a physical level. But you won't just read about how some device has to connect to some other device – you'll get a clear, visual understanding and tutorial of how all the different, physical parts of IT work together to produce the incredible effects you've seen.

Who should take this intro to IT course?

Students or IT professionals who are just getting started in the career field should take this course about operating systems and applications, but non-technical professionals might want to also. The knowledge it contains can help make all your future work and training in the IT field make a lot more sense on a foundational level.

Is this training in the basics of IT infrastructure associated with any certifications?

Yes, this course is associated with the ITF+ certification from CompTIA. But you don't have to plan on taking that exam to benefit from this course. In fact, one of the strengths of CompTIA certifications is their focus on broad knowledge and real-world skills, so this course is an excellent foundation for a career in or near IT.

What certification should you consider after taking this course in the fundamentals of IT infrastructure?

The IT Fundamentals+ from CompTIA is your best bet after this course. ITF+ is a foundational cert that anyone can use to show their understanding of the nature of the IT industry and how their job fits into the bigger picture. Additionally, the foundation you lay with this course could also lead to the CCNA.

Why should you take this IT infrastructure tutorial training?

Although many people see networks and recognize their importance, few people understand what's happening on a physical level. You might think that understanding what devices are connected to each other, where processing occurs, and where data actually 'resides' is too much detail, but a firm grasp of it actually makes you a better employee and technology user.

Who is this for?

This IT Fundamentals training was designed for non-technical professionals or aspiring IT professionals with no experience at all.

What our learners say

The more I put into learning, the more skills I’m going to have — and the better I’m going to be technically.

When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
Lalo Nunez | CBT Nuggets trainer since 2020
Very easy and fun way to learn. Keith Barker is my favorite, he'll throw in jokes here and there and it makes me remember certain study points. I highly recommend this app and purchasing subscriptions, it is truly worth the money.
