GetITLaunchpad

❌"I don't know where to start"

YouTube has 10,000 IT tutorials. Reddit has 50 conflicting opinions. You're paralyzed
by choice.

❌ "I've done CompTIA A+ — now what?"

You memorized theory but can't troubleshoot a real printer issue or write a
professional ticket.

❌ "I keep getting rejected"

You apply to 50 jobs. Zero interviews. No one tells you what you're missing.

� 30 Daily Hands-On Tasks

No fluff. Each day: one practical lab (VMs, Active Directory, networking), one real
world scenario, one interview prep exercise.

�100+ Real IT Scenarios

Actual tickets from a working SysAdmin: "User locked out of AD," "Printer offline," "V
PN won't connect." You solve them. I show you the professional answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I have zero IT experience. Is this too advanced?
A: Nope. This assumes you can use a computer and Google things. I
'll teach you
everything else — from installing your first virtual machine to troubleshooting Active
Directory.

Q: Do I need certifications first (A+, Network+)?
A: No. Certs help, but employers care more about "can you solve this ticket right
now?" This program teaches that. (You can do A+ for theory + GetITLaunchpad for hands
on practice — best combo.)

Q : What if I fall behind?
A: Content is self-paced. Live calls are recorded. Discord is 24/7. If life happens, c
atch up on weekends. Most students finish in 30–45 days.

Q: Is this just video courses?
A: No. It's daily tasks, real scenarios, and labs. Videos are supplementary (when you
need a walkthrough). This is hands-on work, not passive watching.

Q: Will this guarantee me a job?
A: I can't promise you a job (no one can — that's a red flag). I promise you'll be
more prepared than 90% of Help Desk applicants — and you'll have proof (home lab,
scenarios solved, optimized resume). The rest is up to you

Q: What tools do I need?
A: A laptop (Windows or Mac) from the last 5 years. At least 8 GB RAM (most modern lap
tops have this). We use free software (VirtualBox, Windows Server Eval, Linux). Total
cost: $0.

Q: How is this different from Udemy or YouTube?
A: YouTube is free random tutorials with no structure. Udemy is pre-recorded courses w
ith no live help. GetITLaunchpad is a structured 30-day path with daily tasks, real sc
enarios from a working SysAdmin, live Q&A, and a private community. Different leagues.
