Description

This course is a FREE primer overview of the IT Industry. It is a great stepping stone to the course "IT Fundamentals: All About Data".

Interested in working in the IT Industry and want to understand the IT fundamentals first - then this course is for you. Presented by Simon Fowler, creator of the 2DeCipher YouTube channel and with 25 years working in the IT Industry in a variety of roles from technical through to sales and marketing. The IT Industry is probably broader than you think and a great place to work.

The 2DeCipher tag-line is "technology made simple". Here are some comments from viewers of my content.

  • "This is by far the most clear explanation I have been provided with ever. Thank you!"

  • "This is one of the best videos explaining hyperconvergence!"

  • "Wow, so clarifying. Thanks a lot."

  • "Damn well explained! Awesome!"

In this course, my aim is to demystify an industry which is full of jargon and which can be hard to make sense of. The content will suit technical and non-technical learners with concepts explained in straightforward language.

Once you have the fundamentals of IT understood, this is an industry which can support your most ambitious aspirations. Potential roles include: IT Support, Software Development, Solution Architect, IT Manager, Project Manager, Product Manager and many more. As you will discover, the industry encompasses the whole value chain from designers and sellers of IT solutions (software and hardware), through resellers and distributors, and of course the IT organisations which manage IT on behalf of all the businesses around the world.

What You Will Learn!

  • Discover how the IT industry is a dynamic and exciting place to be.
  • Gain perspectives to help your career.
  • Understand the "why" of IT, as well as "what" it is.
  • Get to know the IT Industry vendor landscape.
