As an IT Service Desk Employee, you are the first point of contact for technical questions and failures from end users. From a laptop that won't start up to printer issues or network failures: you'll learn how to help quickly and professionally. Learn how to work with tickets, prioritize incidents, SLAs, and tools like ServiceNow. You will also develop important soft skills: communicate clearly, work in a customer-oriented way and stay calm when someone is stressed. You will also dive into the world of IT Service Management (ITSM) and the ITIL® 4 framework, the standard in IT support. As an extra, this course includes an exam voucher for the official ITIL® 4 Foundation exam via PeopleCert. In short: you can obtain not one, but even two certificates.
Do you want to work in the IT sector and are you looking for a practical course that allows you to get started quickly? The IT Service Desk Employee course is a good choice if you are looking for a promising profession with many vacancies and career opportunities. You don't need any technical knowledge and you can follow the course in Dutch or English. This course is a perfect fit for:
Do you want to switch to the IT sector? You will learn the basics of IT support and develop skills that will help you start as a side entrant in a junior service desk position.
Want to find your first IT job? You learn how to work with tickets (such as ServiceNow), resolve incidents and communicate professionally with end users.
Are you already working in IT and want to expand your career towards IT service management? You will strengthen your knowledge of ITSM/ITIL, incident management and SLA agreements.
In addition to the Business Data Analytics course, we also offer the Data Analytics with Python training on. Both courses prepare you for a career in data analysis, but the focus is different. Business Data Analytics focuses on analyzing and visualizing data in a business context, working with tools such as Power BI, Looker Studio and GA4. The Data Analytics with Python course goes a step more technical and focuses on processing and analyzing large data sets with programming languages. You'll learn how to work with SQL and Python, including libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib, that allow you to perform deeper analyses and even build predictive models.
Bottom line: Business Data Analytics is perfect if you want to work directly with data within companies, without programming. Data Analytics with Python is ideal if you want to explore the technical side of data analysis and dive deeper into code. Which direction suits you best?
At Winc Academy, we combine a practical approach with personal guidance. You not only learn the theory, but you apply it directly to projects that are in line with practice. Whether you're a beginner or already experienced, we'll help you grow confidently and future-oriented as a business data analyst.
