Job Description
IT Field Technician Programme - No Experience Required.
Please note this is a training course and fees apply.
Are you looking to benefit from a new career in IT? Skills shortages in the IT sector are driving the need for qualified, entry-level career seekers and career changers.
We have a long-standing relationship with a large national IT contracting company that has an ongoing need for IT technicians to help manage and facilitate their IT contracts across the UK. They work with many large organisations, including Virgin Media, RICOH, Computacentre, Fortinet, and Fujitsu.
Graduates from this programme will begin contract work with our IT contracting partner as an IT Field Technician, with many of these roles evolving into permanent positions with their clients.
Companies have a real need for entry-level IT staff that can hit the ground running with minimal additional training. This is one reason why our IT contracting partner prefers our candidates.
The best part is you do not need any prior experience in IT, as we will provide you with the fully accredited training required by our IT contracting partner.
This role requires that you can drive; therefore, candidates must hold a full UK driver's licence prior to completing the training component of the programme.
Training for the programme is completed online and has an estimated completion time of 8-12 weeks if you can study at least 5 hours per week. The training element is self-funded but can be spread over 10 monthly instalments. During this study period, we provide full tutor support and mentoring with 1-2-1 access to a tutor if required. Students who complete the training programme are guaranteed attendance at a 5-day workshop with our IT contract partner, where they can assess your practical IT skills and suitability to work with them. We have a current success rate of 95% of our candidates being offered a contract after completing this workshop.
Whether you are working full-time, part-time, or are unemployed, this package has the flexibility to be completed at a pace that suits you.
Step 1 - Accredited Online Training
The first step is completing three industry-recognised courses from CompTIA. CompTIA qualifications are the industry standard for those looking to build careers in IT. The training is delivered directly online by CompTIA, ensuring the material is current and up-to-date. Training is delivered through multimedia-rich video tutorials, practice labs, presentations, and quizzes. You will be assigned an expert tutor and a career support mentor to assist you throughout your training.
This programme does not require you to pass the official CompTIA exams. However, our IT contracting partner requires us to submit confirmation that you have achieved their minimum standard. Therefore, you will be expected to pass an online assessment for each course studied to confirm you are ready to attend the workshop.
Step 2 - 5 Day Workshop
The 5-day workshop is run by our IT contracting partner. This is your chance to demonstrate that you can put theory into practice and that you would be a suitable candidate to work for them and their clients. At the end of the workshop, you will be informed if you have been successful and offered a contract. Currently, 95% of candidates who complete the workshop are offered a contract. Once you have completed the workshop, we will reimburse up to GBP180 towards accommodation and travel costs you may have incurred (subject to terms and conditions).
Step 3 - Working in IT
You will now begin working with our partner on your first contract. However, if you fail to pass the workshop or decide not to accept our IT contractor's offer, we will continue to collaborate with you through our internal recruitment team to help you find a suitable IT position.
