    Hi all

    Im fairly ok with computers / laptops and like problem solving , be it internet issue's , virus issues etc , i think its something id like to get into , is there any online courses that are recognised if you were to go for a job ??

    Problem is , im a mortgage holder so i can't quit my day job to study or go to college during the day , so id ideally be able to do it in stages to get a degree or diploma etc and maybe down the line work in that environment.

    also a course that doesnt cost the earth would be great.

    You would first need to decide what length of time you are willing to dedicate to the course - months, a year or two, or longer?

    Generally speaking, the longer the course, the higher the qualification and therefore the better potential for earnings. Generally speaking.

    The other thing to remember is that you won't learn computers online. You need a course with a hands-on component.

    A+ is a short-term computer technician certificate that is recognised. Longer term, contact your local Institute of Technology for part-time evening courses. You should find one to suit you.
