Investing in a IT career today
IT has become the engine of every organisation, from back-office to customer-facing services. Digital transformation, cloud migration, the rise of artificial intelligence and growing regulatory pressure on cybersecurity have significantly increased demand for certified technical profiles. In French-speaking Switzerland, organisations actively look for system administrators, cloud engineers, cybersecurity experts, DBAs, developers and IT project managers able to drive these changes.
A recognised IT training opens access to structuring positions and to reference certifications: Microsoft 365 Fundamentals (MS-900), Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, CompTIA A+ and Network+, CISSP, ISO 27001 Foundation or ITIL. ITTA offers a complete catalogue designed to support every profile, from beginners reskilling to experts upgrading on the latest technologies.
Training in IT remains one of the most rewarding professional investments: greater autonomy, evolution prospects and differentiation in hiring on a particularly active French-speaking Switzerland job market.
The eight pillars of our IT training
Cloud computing
Our cloud computing programmes cover Microsoft Azure certifications (AZ-900, AZ-104, AZ-204, AZ-305, AZ-400), AWS (Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineering, Security) and Microsoft 365 (MS-102, MS-700, MD-102). More than 60 courses span the full cloud lifecycle, from discovery to multi-cloud architecture, security and automation.
Audit and cybersecurity
The audit and cybersecurity domain hosts the most in-demand security certifications: CISSP, CompTIA Security+, ISO 27001 Foundation and Lead Implementer, Microsoft Security Compliance and Identity Fundamentals. These courses target CISOs, auditors, security engineers and architects who lead the digital defence of their organisations.
Systems and networking
Our systems and networking hub gathers more than 90 courses on Windows Server, Linux, Cisco, CompTIA Network+, along with the infrastructure fundamentals required to understand current hybrid architectures. This technical foundation remains essential for any IT administrator or architect.
Analytics and data management
The analytics and data management domain covers SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle and the Azure and AWS data services, with training paths suited to database administrators, SQL developers and data engineers.
DevOps
Our DevOps courses cover Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, Ansible and Prometheus. They prepare for the CNCF certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS) and HashiCorp, and complement Azure and AWS cloud paths for continuous-delivery and infrastructure-as-code profiles.
CRM and ERP
The CRM and ERP domain gathers SAP S/4HANA and Microsoft Dynamics training, designed for functional consultants and IT teams managing integrated procurement, sales, finance and customer relationship.
GDPR and compliance
Our GDPR and compliance courses help DPOs, legal officers and data protection managers understand the European and Swiss regulatory framework, as well as audit and compliance best practices.
Ethical hacking
The ethical hacking hub provides the offensive courses that complement defensive certifications. These programmes are designed for pentesters, red teams and SOC analysts who test the resilience of systems.
Key courses to start in IT
For profiles in reskilling or seeking a common foundation, fundamental certifications are the best entry point. Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) is the no-prerequisite Azure entry course, and Microsoft 365 Fundamentals (MS-900) provides an overview of Microsoft 365 collaborative and security services. On the AWS side, AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials is the equivalent first Amazon certification.
For general IT fundamentals, CompTIA A+ covers hardware, systems and troubleshooting, and CompTIA Network+ provides the networking basics. For security, CompTIA Security+ is the most recognised entry-level certification, complemented by ISO 27001 Foundation for the risk management dimension. More experienced profiles aim for CISSP, the reference certification for CISOs and security architects.
Adapt your path to your situation
A junior or reskilling profile can start with CompTIA A+ and Network+ to acquire the technical foundation, then specialise via AZ-900 or AWS Cloud Practitioner for cloud, or via CompTIA Security+ for cybersecurity. An experienced administrator can enter directly through associate certifications (AZ-104, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, MS-102 for Microsoft 365). Architects and design engineers combine a fundamental, an associate, then an expert certification (AZ-305, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, CISSP). Data-oriented profiles go through database and analytics training, while future CISOs head to ISO 27001, CISSP and governance courses.
Broadening your IT scope
IT is inherently cross-functional. Artificial intelligence training is becoming essential for developers, architects and data engineers integrating AI into their applications. Management programmes cover ITIL, project management, agile and enterprise architecture for IT project managers and team leads. Development courses deepen programming languages, web development and software tools. For profiles geared towards advanced productivity and business data analysis, the Office productivity domain covers Excel, Power BI and the wider Microsoft Office ecosystem in depth.
Practical aspects of our IT training
All our IT courses are available on-site in our Geneva and Lausanne centres, as well as in interactive virtual classroom. Our session calendar, organised in 5-week cycles, allows for swift registration. Our limited group sizes enable genuinely personalised pedagogical support, and each course includes hands-on labs on official Microsoft, AWS, Cisco or Linux environments depending on the programme.
