“A career in IT is an exciting career choice for both men and women. The variety of roles and the constant changes in
technology make it an ideal choice for those with an interest in technology. The move to virtualization, cloud technology and
the IoT (Internet of Things) are some of the new and enabling technologies that are being introduced and developed at the
moment.
PC Maintenance, Networking and Platform Administration disciplines remain an excellent route into the ICT sector for those
with entry level skills which account for about 40% of the in-demand roles available (Skills Audit, 2014 – FIT).
Students from the course have taken up jobs in multinational and IT service companies in Ireland and across the world.
We have people in the UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, etc. Some trainees have set up their
own companies.
The objectives of the course are kept up to date as technology changes. Updates are common, with major changes to content
taking place every two to three years. The certification is recognized world-wide. The objectives and modules for each exam
are set by the IT industry.
If you have an interest in IT, this is an ideal course to start your progression within the IT Industry. From a starting role as technician
you can progress to other specialist roles.
Looking forward to seeing you on the next ITSS course.”
