Who it's a good fit for?:

The role of Information Communication Technician Level 3 can be implemented across a variety of jobs titles such as 1st Line Support Technician or IT Support Technician

Gaining a Level 3 Information Communication Technician allows you to fit seamlessly into a number of different industries. For example, a Travel Agent uses a system to manage their customer bookings. However, when the system fails it needs rectifying rapidly in order to reduce the financial impact and damage to customer reputation. The business would contact an IT Technician to report the problem and either get it fixed or escalated to an engineer.
