How to Teach Yourself I.T. - Self Taught Information Technology

Recently I was asked how I self taught myself I.T. In this video I'm gonna go over how I taught myself and also cover a few things that you guys can do to start teaching yourself information technology.

Being self taught can sometimes be a difficult task to accomplish but with this video I hope it helps put things into perspective for you.

Some resources to aid in teaching yourself is using sites like mva.microsoft.com, linuxacademy.com, edx.org, lynda.com, freecodecamp.com and code academy. A good entry certification is the IT Fundaments and Cloud+. It is essential that you learn about the cloud because that's where the world of IT is going.

I taught myself IT as well.. I have appreciation an serious love for it that I did my degree in education with emphasis in Computer Science. This video has inspired me to start my own YouTube channel where I post Tutorials on IT related content.. Thanks bro!..

I swear, every time I type a question your channel comes up. I love it. This is my new reference guide.

yes, i am looking into volunteer at an older folks residents helping with tech support. Their main focus of what they want to learn the most is share point and one drive and zoom. I have more of a background using apple computers and products like photoshop so i think this could be a fun learning curve for us both entering windows.

As a 2nd line engineer I use virtual box with a domain lab and two domain controllers and purposely break and fix them. Also chuck the vms into GNS3 and network them into a Cisco router and switch. You can learn all sorts of things, including how to set them up into vlans etc. Can't reccom highly enough to someone starting out. A pfsense router in your lab is also great if you don't wish to use GNS3 with a bridged virtual network adapter if you need he vms to have internet access

What's the best way to study for technical certifications like; CEH, CHFI, MRE, Security+, Network+ and so on? What are the best mnemonics? How are technical exams different from others? Thanks. Your videos really rock!

He’s right, I self taught myself 8 years ago. Got a few certs and picked up an Associate degree along the way. Best investment I ever made.

[vincentcortez]

Thank you so much! I have a I.T job lined up for me when I get back from my deployment and I wasn't sure how to prepare for it. Your videos are getting me so motivated to use my downtime to learn the skills needed to excel.

Thanks for all of the great videos and keep up the hard work! You have helped me a lot as I am starting as a intern in I.T. soon. I agree that self teaching and learning on YouTube will help a long way as a person who have no prior experience with I.T., that is how I have started as well, through using virtualization and messing around with administrative tools. Why pay for free knowledge?!

I always figured it would help me along the way since I hardly had any hands on and have just book knowledge from my admin I.T. management degree with no certifications. When I first entered the interview for the entry level intern, they have asked me a lot of basic to advance questions, such as what is active directory and what is it used for? How do you add a domain? What are group policies? What is Hyper-V and how do you mount a image for deployment? How do you use these tools? Without getting the hands-on, i wouldn't have known how to answer these questions. This have saved me !
