CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) training, perfect for starting in IT and validating your basic skills. Certification included
Certifying
The CompTIA Core family regroups the entry and foundation certifications of US publisher CompTIA, independent of any vendor (vendor-neutral). It addresses anyone starting in IT or wanting to consolidate their basics before going further on infrastructure, cybersecurity or data. The entry door is CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+), which sets the essential concepts: hardware, software, applications, networking, security, databases and algorithmic logic. ITF+ then naturally opens toward the three following Core pillars: CompTIA A+ (support technician), CompTIA Network+ (network administrator) and CompTIA Security+ (junior security analyst).
CompTIA IT Fundamentals is designed for IT career-shift profiles, students, apprentices, advanced office productivity users wanting to understand what is behind the screen, and business profiles who daily interact with an IT team. The programme covers computer concepts (components, Windows and Linux operating systems, mobile), software and applications, databases, development principles, networking (TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, basic security) and security (passwords, authentication, backups, GDPR). The graduate leaves with a common foundation that allows them to dialogue with an IT team, succeed in technical job interviews, and continue their path toward A+ or directly Security+ according to their target role.
In French-speaking Switzerland, demand for support, junior systems administrator, helpdesk technician, junior cybersecurity analyst and IT apprentice profiles remains very strong in Geneva private banks, Lake Geneva international organisations, fiduciary firms, cantonal administrations, university hospitals, schools, SMEs and large companies. ITTA offers a training catalogues active in real environments.
Following recognised CompTIA Core training opens access to highly sought-after roles: IT support technician, helpdesk, proximity technician, junior administrator, IT career-shift profile, IT apprentice, business profile wanting to understand IT. Whether you are starting in IT or consolidating your foundation before A+, Network+ or Security+, our CompTIA Core training in Geneva and Lausanne covers the entry of the path and the orientation toward the next steps.
The CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) training is the official entry door of the Core family. The programme covers computer concepts (hardware, peripherals, storage), operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS, mobile), software and applications, databases and data, development principles and algorithmic logic, networking (TCP/IP, IP, DNS, Wi-Fi), security (authentication, passwords, backup, GDPR), and basic troubleshooting. The training targets IT career-shift profiles, students, IT apprentices, advanced office productivity users and business profiles wanting to understand IT.
After ITF+, the CompTIA Core path continues with CompTIA A+ (support and proximity technician, Core 1 and Core 2 exams), CompTIA Network+ (network administrator, TCP/IP principles, routing, switching, Wi-Fi, network security) and CompTIA Security+ (junior security analyst, cybersecurity fundamentals, compliance, risk, cryptography). These three certifications constitute the worldwide recognised foundation to start in support, network administration and operational cybersecurity. They are available in the ITTA catalogue via the CompTIA Infrastructure and CompTIA Cybersecurity sub-publishers.
CompTIA Core fits into the broader CompTIA ecosystem. The root CompTIA publisher regroups all CompTIA certifications. Sibling sub-publishers are CompTIA Infrastructure (A+, Network+, Linux+, Server+, Cloud+) and CompTIA Cybersecurity (Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, CASP+), plus CompTIA Data and Analytics (Data+, DataSys+). On the domain side, the systems and networking sub-domain and IT audit and security structure the next steps of the IT path.
CompTIA Core evolves with several structuring axes in 2026. Mid-career IT reconversion is in strong growth and ITF+ has become the preferred entry to validate the basics before shifting toward an IT role. Support and helpdesk profiles remain massively recruited in French-speaking Switzerland, and A+ is regularly cited in job ads. Cybersecurity being the number one priority of many organisations, Security+ is now directly targeted by many profiles who go through ITF+ to validate their foundation. On the pedagogical side, interactive virtual and hybrid formats have become widespread, and training centres like ITTA keep a strong on-site component in Geneva and Lausanne. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current practices.
All our CompTIA Core courses are available on-site in our Geneva and Lausanne centres, as well as in interactive virtual classroom with a certified trainer live. Our sessions are organised in 5-week cycles. Each session includes hands-on labs on real hardware (PC components, peripherals), Windows and Linux manipulations, basic networking configuration exercises, concrete security cases (passwords, backup, authentication), exam-style mock questions for ITF+, and red-thread projects inspired by real support cases. Customised corporate training is also possible at your premises, in Geneva, Lausanne, Vaud and across French-speaking Switzerland, with a programme adapted to your IT fleet and your reconversion profiles.
ITTA offers a training catalogue. Our CompTIA Core trainers are certified technicians, administrators and trainers active with Swiss and international clients, covering ITF+, A+, Network+, Security+ and more broadly the IT entry foundation. The CompTIA Core catalogue is centred on ITF+ and naturally orients toward A+, Network+ and Security+ via our Infrastructure and Cybersecurity sub-publishers. Our pedagogical team supports you in choosing the path, identifying prerequisites (everyday computer use, technical English reading) and identifying funding solutions adapted to your professional situation.
Our pedagogical approach favours learning by doing, with real hardware to manipulate, configurations to roll out, concrete cases to solve, exam-style mock questions, and red-thread projects inspired by real support and administration cases. Each session combines training time, applied exercises and exchanges with the trainer, allowing each participant to progress at their own pace and leave with skills directly usable in their professional context or their entry into IT.
Our training is aimed at varied audiences: IT career-shift profiles, students, IT apprentices, advanced office productivity users wanting to move to IT, beginner technicians, business profiles who interact with an IT team, candidates for a support or helpdesk position. Our pedagogical team adapts the content to the participants’ context.
Here is a selection of reference training courses in this catalogue, accessible directly:
Is CompTIA IT Fundamentals really useful if I aim directly at A+ or Security+?
Yes in most cases. ITF+ validates in a few days the conceptual foundation that will be reused on all other CompTIA certifications. For a profile without IT experience, it is the most efficient way to avoid getting stuck on A+ or Security+. For a profile already comfortable with IT (advanced user, computer science student, apprentice), it is possible to aim directly at A+ or Security+ and our pedagogical team guides you according to your profile.
Do I need to know programming to follow ITF+?
No, ITF+ addresses development principles and algorithmic logic at an introductory level, without code practice. The training is deliberately accessible to non-developer profiles. A habit of the computer, Microsoft Office productivity and technical English in reading is enough.
Are CompTIA A+, Network+ and Security+ included in CompTIA Core at ITTA?
The Core publisher regroups the entry step ITF+. A+, Network+ and Security+ are respectively grouped under CompTIA Infrastructure (A+, Network+) and CompTIA Cybersecurity (Security+) at ITTA, which are the sibling sub-publishers of the same CompTIA ecosystem. Our pedagogical team builds you a coherent ITF+ to A+ to Network+ to Security+ path according to your target.
Are your CompTIA Core courses available for companies?
Yes, the full CompTIA Core catalogue is available in-house, in Geneva, Lausanne and in virtual classroom, with a programme adapted to your reconversion or IT apprentice profiles, your fleet and your constraints (GDPR, Swiss nFADP). Our team builds the specifications with you and organises sessions according to your calendar.
