Let’s cut to it: You want to get into tech but don’t know a thing about... well, anything.You’ve Googled “IT jobs no experience,” watched a couple of YouTube videos where people say “just learn networking” like it’s no big deal, and now you’re sitting there, overwhelmed, wondering where the heck to begin.Good news — there’s a thing called CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+), and it’s basically the “let’s not panic” intro course to the world of tech.

Let’s talk about why it exists, why it’s kinda awesome, and why Sprintzeal’s CompTIA IT Fundamentals training might be your best friend right now.

First: What the Heck Is ITF+?

CompTIA IT Fundamentals (also called ITF+) is like the warm-up before the main workout. It’s the one certification that assumes you literally know nothing — and I mean nothing — about IT.

No need to know what a router does. No need to fake your way through talking about “cloud infrastructure” like you’ve got AWS running in your garage. This cert is made for total beginners.

It covers the basics like:

• What computers are made of (hardware, software, etc.)

• How the internet works (yes, finally explained in human words)

• Cybersecurity basics (like why your cousin's passwords are terrible)

• Databases, code, and software development (but not in a scary way)

• Troubleshooting 101 (when stuff breaks, you’ll know where to start)

Basically, it gives you just enough knowledge to:

• Understand tech conversations

• Figure out what you might want to specialize in later

• Not look terrified in your first IT interview

Who’s This Actually For?

Short answer? Anyone who’s even thinking about starting a tech career.

Longer answer? You’ll love ITF+ if you:

• Feel stuck in a non-tech job but want out

• Are the “techie one” in your friend group but want to make it official

• Are still in school and exploring options

• Want to build confidence before tackling more advanced stuff like CompTIA A+, Network+, or the glorious world of cybersecurity

Why I Didn’t Start With A+ (and I’m Glad)

Look — A+ is great, but it's not exactly beginner-beginner. That’s like jumping into the deep end of IT without floaties. I needed something that didn’t assume I knew what RAM actually did.

That’s why ITF+ felt like the right vibe. It didn’t judge. It didn’t overwhelm. It just said, “Hey, let’s learn this stuff together,” and then walked me through it in a way that actually stuck.

What’s in the Sprintzeal Course?

I’ll keep this short — this is what you get from their ITF+ training:

• Self-paced or live online classes — great if your schedule is chaos

• Full coverage of the ITF+ exam domains — no weird gaps

• Practice questions & mock tests — because guessing isn’t a strategy

• Hands-on training — actual labs so you’re not just reading slides

• Help with the exam process — because yes, it’s confusing at first

And it’s not written in “corporate training language.” It’s designed to actually teach you — not just show slides and wish you good luck.

How Hard Is It to Pass?

Not hard if you actually study — but don’t just wing it and expect to guess your way through.

Here’s what worked for me:

• 30–45 minutes a day of focused study

• Flashcards (old-school but effective)

• Watching videos after each topic to reinforce the concept

• Doing Sprintzeal’s practice tests every few days

• Pretending I was teaching it to someone else (because if you can explain it, you know it)

The exam isn’t tricky — it’s just about showing you know the fundamentals.

Why ItF+ Is a Gateway Drug (in a Good Way)

After passing ITF+, something weird happened: I wanted to learn more.

It gave me a clear idea of what I liked. For me, it was cybersecurity and networks. For you, it might be cloud, data, or development. ITF+ doesn’t force you down a path — it just shows you the map so you can pick your own adventure.And that’s the magic of it.

So… Is It Worth It?

If you're still asking that, let me say it like this:

• Want a career in IT? 

• Have no experience? 

• Want to stop feeling like you’re guessing at everything?

• Need a first win to boost your confidence? 

Then yes, ITF+ is 100% worth it — and starting with Sprintzeal’s CompTIA IT Fundamentals training makes it even smoother.

Final Thoughts Before You Scroll Away

I know it’s tempting to keep scrolling, keep watching videos, and tell yourself, “Maybe next month.” But if you’re here reading this, your gut probably already knows it’s time to start. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take the first step. And honestly? This cert is that step.
