How will I progress from a technical assistant to a technician?
Training is available in courses from approved and accredited training providers to ensure the highest globally accepted standards are met by all MyTechie agents.
Once a training course is completed, the agent will get a certification as a “Technical Assistant” enabling them to work in the competency learned while under the guidance of a MyTechie qualified Technician.
After a period of between 9 to 18 months of working under such guidance, you can apply to be qualified as a Technician. Provided the volume and quantity of work is successfully undertaken, you will then graduate to the Technician level.

You will be a proud and valued member of the community who with the assistance of the other approved and accredited Techies in your neighbourhood will look after the technology service delivery and operational eco-system at the point where it matters.
