IT Helpdesk Fundamentals Certification Program

To meet the demand for entry-level call center and service desk professionals, DMACC offers a short-term IT Helpdesk Fundamentals certificate program. This program familiarizes students with concepts of customer service related to common hardware, software, security and troubleshooting. This 15-week course prepares students to successfully step into Helpdesk positions providing support to internal and external stakeholders.

WTA’s certificate training programs are employer-driven which means that our programs are developed according to local hiring needs.

How does WTA benefit the Employer?

WTA works closely with students to help them identify a career path that matches their personal and professional goals. This happens prior to enrollment so students have a good understanding of their chosen career path. WTA’s Career Navigator prepares students for the job search. Employers can meet our students while they are in class allowing them to promote the organization and meet students! DMACC’s curriculum is competency-based, and students will earn a DMACC credential indicating they have met those competencies.
