What qualifications for 1st Line IT Service Desk?

[Gingernaut]

Exactly that, really.

What qualifications would an 1st Line IT Service Desk Operator require?

I've looked, but there's a myriad of confusing sites and massive lists of application specific courses as well as CompTIA, BTEC and C&G.

What would make me most employable?

If you have your ITIL qualification I guess. Depends on what the service desk require and what kind of industry it’s in.

I knew it wouldn't be easy.

I take it there's no 'all purpose' qualification, then?

I'll look up ITIL. Thanks.

Most service desks follow the ITIL principles so that’s a starting point

Thanks.

Any recommendations for particular course provider?

There seem to be so many and offering differing types of courses. 😳
