Brand New to IT? You’re in the Right Place.
If you have zero IT experience, feel lost by technical terms, or worry you’re “behind,” this page is for you. Everyone who works in IT or cybersecurity started exactly where you are now.
This path is for you if…
You’ve never worked in IT
You don’t yet know how computers, networks, or software fit together — and that’s okay.
Cert guides feel overwhelming
A+, Network+, or Security+ content feels like it skips steps or assumes prior knowledge.
You want a clean starting point
You don’t want to guess. You want a path that actually makes sense.
Why you should start with ITF+
CompTIA ITF+ exists for one reason: to give beginners a foundation. It builds vocabulary, confidence, and mental models that make later certifications far easier.
Learn basic IT concepts without pressure or assumed knowledge.
Understand how hardware, software, networking, and security connect.
Move on to A+ and beyond with confidence instead of confusion.
