How to Become an IT Training Specialist

Colleges and universities often require their instructors to have a teaching degree and/or teaching certification . But training positions with other organizations or corporations may not require a teaching degree.

For example, CompTIA Training Strategies Group (TSG) hires IT trainers to teach its fast-track, short-term classes. About 85% of TSG classes are currently offered in person instead of online. The topics range from industry-recognized certifications offered by CompTIA, Microsoft and Cisco, for example, to soft skills, Salesforce and business analysis.

“We look for men and women who are passionate about technology and passionate about people,” says Turner said. TSG trainers come from a variety of backgrounds and typically don’t have to develop their own course material.

When it comes to training for IT certifications, an instructor is generally required to hold the certification that they are teaching to, and most training companies also prefer experience as a tech worker. Holding a certification specifically in training, such as CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+), can go a long way toward proving IT training skills. In addition, successful instructors assume the student role quite often to stay up to date on knowledge and skills, as tech is always growing and evolving. The most successful instructors love to learn new things constantly.

Those with non-technical teaching experience can get started in IT instruction by earning CompTIA CTT+ as well as technical certifications such as CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) and CompTIA A+. Check out the CompTIA Career Roadmap to see what other IT certifications can help you build a portfolio of knowledge to impart on others.
