Undertaking this 2-day course from The Knowledge Academy will allow you to understand the different lines of IT support, which can broadly be broken down into the following three sections: first-line, which is usually a phone and internet-based position and involves tackling password resets, troubleshooting, and other basic user problems; second-line support, which handles more advanced problems such as desktop issues and enabling or disabling user accounts; and third-line support, which manages servers and oversees an organisation’s IT infrastructure.

Gaining Certified IT 1, 2, and 3 Line Support Technician status, by successfully finishing this course and receiving our certificate of completion, will prove to employers that delegates are competent not just of basic first-line IT support but can also tackle the more advanced tasks of second- or third-line support.
