Choosing a New Career During Lockdown

In 2020, during the UK lockdown, Kiran Khunti made a decision to pivot into IT. He enrolled in ITOL Recruit’s IT Technician Job Programme, drawn by its clear structure, flexible learning, and guaranteed job placement.

This decision marked a turning point in his career journey.

Tutor Support That Goes the Extra Mile

Kiran’s experience was shaped by consistent support from his tutor, Slindi, who was always available to help — whether over email or through direct phone calls. Even while studying full-time during the pandemic, he never felt isolated in his learning.

Practical Skills with Live Labs

What stood out most for Kiran were the Live Labs — interactive, hands-on simulations that allowed him to apply the commands and tools he was learning. This not only made the material more engaging but also gave him genuine IT problem-solving experience.

Fast-Tracked Success

Kiran passed his internal exams in just three months. He then moved into the recruitment phase, where Amelia from the recruitment team helped craft his CV and guided him through job applications and interviews.

With this support, he landed a role as a Service Desk Analyst at one of his preferred companies — after just three interviews.

Seamless Exam Booking

The process for booking official exams through ITOL Recruit was also smooth and straightforward, removing unnecessary friction at a critical stage of the journey.

A Clear Recommendation

Kiran now highly recommends ITOL Recruit to anyone considering a career in IT. The combination of strong tutor support, practical training tools and reliable recruitment assistance helped him land a job quickly and confidently.
