From Branding to IT: Cristian’s Career Change Through CompTIA A+

Cristian Puha came from a background in business development and branding within the leisure industry. But during the lockdown, he found himself re-evaluating his path — and rediscovered a long-standing passion for IT.

A Career Rethink During Lockdown

That moment of reflection sparked a complete career shift.

Choosing the Right Provider

Cristian’s search for quality IT training led him to ITOL Recruit. He was impressed by their quick response and professional structure. The course aligned well with his goals, and the simple sign-up process helped him get started without delay.

Real Support That Matters

With support from Lindy, Cristian found it easy to navigate the course platform and prepare for his CompTIA A+ exam. She provided hands-on help that made both the technical content and exam process far less daunting.

Cristian also made great use of Practice Labs, which gave him practical experience with different operating systems — something he considered key to his understanding of core IT concepts.

A New Role with the Right Guidance

After passing his A+ exam, Cristian moved into the recruitment phase and worked with Loretta McKenzie. Her help in rewriting his CV and planning his job search strategy led directly to him securing his first IT role — a major milestone in his new career.

A Confident Career Move
