'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Many people wish they could have a lucrative tech career but haven't pursued one for a number of reasons. They may think it would take too long or cost too much to train for one or might be intimidated by the type of skills required. But the fact is, the affordable Complete 2022 IT Career Kickstarter Bundle allows you to train at your own pace to qualify for well-paid tech positions even if you're not all that familiar with computers

The first thing you should know is that the fastest way to get hired for the best tech jobs at your level is to have your skills validated with official certifications that can turbocharge your resume. Over 90% of hiring companies look for CompTIA certifications, so the classes in this bundle will train you for the exams that will provide you with the appropriate ones.

If you don't have a lot of experience with computers, you should take "CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ (FC0-U61)" first. It starts with the basics and takes you all the way through IT basics until you can configure and perform maintenance on both software and hardware.

If you already know how to use a computer, you can probably go straight to "CompTIA A+ (220-1001/220-1002)". This course teaches you about hardware and enterprise IT infrastructure, including cloud technology, cybersecurity, and much more.

After you have an A+ certification and about a year's experience, you'll be ready to learn all about networking in "CompTIA Network+ (N10-008)". The course covers software and hardware, including architecture, integration, deployment, and more.

Those certifications will allow you to work anywhere. But if you'd like to specialize with a particular company, "Microsoft MD-100: Windows 10" teaches you how to install, manage and troubleshoot that operating system. "Apple Certified Support Professional MacOS 11" requires a bit of experience, as does "Cisco Certified Technician (CCT) Routing & Switching 100-490" which students rated 5 out of 5 stars.

iCollege has been providing a wide selection of tech education courses since 2003. It is trusted by Fortune 500 companies to provide career training. Before you know it, you'll have a career that allows you to reward your hard work with fun things like noise-canceling headphones or gaming glasses.

Don't pass up this chance to kickstart a well-paid tech career, get The Complete 2022 IT Career Kickstarter Bundle today while it's on sale for just $59.
