I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.

As an information technology (IT) director, you’ll control the IT operations in an organisation. Read on to learn more about a career in IT and what you could be working on day to day.
Your career might start in an entry-level or junior support role, such as an IT engineer assistant. You’ll learn lots on the job, but you’ll need several years of experience before you can become a director. Larger companies are more likely to have structured training and progression routes.
With enough experience, you might decide to work as a contractor where you’ll work for different companies as a consultant.
If you work for a large organisation, your employer might give you training opportunities where you’ll develop your skills in different software and management. You can also take accredited training courses through IT organisations like Microsoft or Cisco.
Professional organisations you could join include the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS), where you can work towards becoming a Chartered IT Professional.
