What you will learn

Your curriculum

Week 1: Foundations

What Tier 1 actually is, the core vocabulary (ticket, SLA, escalation, remote session), ticket anatomy, IP/DNS/DHCP/VPN fundamentals, isolate-the-variable, remote-session security, and knowing exactly when to escalate.

Week 2: Ticketing Tools & Real Workflows

Hands-on with Zendesk, Freshdesk, and ServiceNow — queue management, tagging, SLA tracking, and the specific click paths behind the concepts from Week 1.

Week 3: Common Fixes I

The high-volume categories that make up most of a real queue: account access, software installs, printer and peripheral connectivity, and application errors — with real runbooks.

Week 4: SaaS, MSP & Internal IT Specialization

Working across the three employer types — a single-product SaaS desk, a multi-client MSP rotation, and overnight internal IT coverage — each with its own quirks and expectations.

Week 5: Security Incidents & The Furious Non-Technical User

Recognizing and responding to a real suspected compromise under time pressure, plus de-escalating a genuinely angry, non-technical user without ever sounding dismissive or scripted.

Week 6: Ticketing-Tool & Reporting Mastery

Writing closing notes and escalations a manager or a future agent can read cold, reading your own performance metrics, and using tagging and reporting to spot recurring patterns.

Week 7: Full Simulation

Sustaining a realistic shift's ticket-and-chat volume at once, remote-work discipline, and working a queue end to end under real time pressure.

Week 8: Certification

Written exam, three graded mock tickets across chat and remote session, and a practical escalation-writing task — pass all three to certify.
