Chris Campbell's journey

Why did you start the traineeship?

I started the traineeship to switch to a less labour-intensive position, as I was not able to compete in my previous career, as a Mechanical Engineer, due to a medical condition. I choose IT Career Switch due to the amount of courses they put you on and the guarantee of a job on the other side.

What did you enjoy most?

I enjoyed the labs the most. Reading a text book is not enough sometimes, applying the knowledge obtained is necessary for it to sink in. The Cyber Security practice exams were the best, due to the many different options you can set to target weak areas.

What's your current role like?

I love my current job. I work as a Technical Support Engineer for the biggest cyber company in the world in CrowdStrike. I have used pretty much everything I have learnt from the CYSA+ in this role so I was definitely prepared. I am incredibly thankful for IT Career Switch for equipping me to help land this role.
