“I've really enjoyed my experience with SmoothOps 365 so far. Coming from a non-IT background, I was initially a little unsure about how easy it would be for me to understand the technical side of things, but the training has been clear and practical. I've learned the basics of IT support, troubleshooting, hardware and software, networking, printers, drivers, and how to approach technical problems step by step. I'm still learning, but I can already see an improvement in my confidence and understanding of IT.”

3 months·Weekend training·100% online

No IT experience required. Keep your job while you train.

Instead of trying to teach you everything from helpdesk to advanced cloud administration, the IT Career Programme focuses on the foundations employers expect at entry level: IT support fundamentals, practical Microsoft 365 administration and cloud literacy. Once you've built those foundations, you can progress into our specialist Microsoft 365 and Azure programmes.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Everything you'd want to know before joining the IT Career Programme.

No. The IT Career Programme is built around 1st line IT support and CompTIA A+, real troubleshooting, hardware, networking and Windows administration, not software development. You do not need to know how to code to start or complete it.

Yes, you'll receive a SmoothOps 365 completion certificate once you finish the programme. That's separate from official industry certifications like CompTIA A+, Microsoft 365 or Azure, which are awarded directly by CompTIA and Microsoft, not by us. The programme includes exam preparation for those, but you'll need to book and sit the relevant exam with CompTIA or Microsoft yourself to earn the official certification.

Anyone wanting to move into IT with no previous IT background, wherever you are in the world: career changers, healthcare professionals, and people starting again in a completely different field. Most students start with zero technical experience.

Yes. If you can't pay the full amount upfront, get in touch and we'll talk through instalment options with you directly.

One price covers everything, nothing is sold separately. You get the full live training programme (26 sessions, every weekend, UK time), hands-on labs, and dashboard access to every session recording and your course materials, plus career support once you're ready to apply: our team helps you tailor your CV to each role, supports you through the job application process, and prepares you for interviews. That support is delivered personally by our team, not automated.
