IT support technicians typically need a foundation in computer hardware, operating systems, networking, troubleshooting, and common business software. Employers also value relevant certifications, hands-on practice, and the ability to document issues clearly. Equally important are customer service skills: technicians must listen carefully, explain solutions in plain language, manage expectations, and remain composed when users are frustrated.
