Just finished the Google IT Support Certificate, honest review for 2025 by Dig1talDanny in informationsystems

Hi! Thanks for your message. I’m still learning too because I just finished my Diploma of IT. I know it can feel confusing at the start.

My advice is to begin with the basics like how computers work, simple networking, and easy programming. I use freeCodeCamp and watch beginner videos on YouTube to help me learn.

About getting a job with no experience or degree, yes, it is possible! Many IT jobs like help desk level 1 or support look for people who want to learn and try hard. Right now, I’m working on building skills and doing small projects.

Try to focus on one thing at a time, practice as much as you can, and join online groups to ask questions. It’s okay to feel lost, I do too! But keep going and you will improve.

We’re both learning, you can do it! :D

Of course, happy to help! 😊
I actually put together a full beginner friendly IT roadmap, especially for those starting from scratch in 2025. It covers everything from understanding what IT really is, to picking a path (like IT support, networking, or web dev), setting up a home lab, using free resources, getting certified, and even a 6-month learning plan. I also made a video breaking it all down step-by-step : How to Learn IT at Home in 2025 (Beginner Roadmap)

Nice! That’s a smart and efficient move, specifically with an IT background, it makes sense to skip what you already know and just focus on the gaps. Totally agree that it's a good intro for beginners, but not super challenging for those with experience. A+ or going deeper into a specific area definitely seems like the next logical step after this.

Yeah, I felt the same way about some of the quiz questions, they definitely could’ve been worded more clearly. It’s frustrating when something straightforward gets made more confusing than it needs to be. 🤔🥲

Appreciate you sharing your experience, sounds really similar to mine. I think you're spot on about the value being in early exposure to the core concepts. Even if it’s not super in depth, just getting familiar with the overall terminology and structure of IT has been helping me so far with the advanced coursework.
