The goal of this course is to impart the knowledge needed to function as a Help Desk Professional. The huge demand for computer technical support, coupled with a shortage of information technology (IT) professionals, have created tremendous career opportunities in the field of customer service and technical support, or what is referred to as a Help Desk Specialist or Professional. To work at a help desk, you must understand hardware, software, networking and the World Wide Web, combined with what is involved in actually delivering technical support services to the customer or staff member. The help desk professional must also understand the role of the help desk within a complex technical support department.
