This question is impossible to answer reasonably without more context. For example what do you support in your current position? End user devices, servers, SCADA systems?

If I assume you support end user devices, what os are the running? Windows, Mac, Linux?

So you need to share more about what you do and where you want your career to go

I work in a firm at Abuja whose IT department includes sub-units and one of such Power where we are responsible for managing/repairing the power appliances (such as ups) and power sources that power them (such as sockets) ......

A lot of idiotic comments in this thread

By the way, OP, what exactly are you supporting? What's your daily job like? And what the hell is power unit? You want to start from there?

The IT dept has sub-units and one of such is Power. We are tasked with the responsibility of handling power concerns (such as fixing /repairing ups, sockets, ac etc)

Have been here for close to 5 months and need courses / certifications to add to my experience should I look for offer else where.

I want to leave Abuja

As an IT support staff in the electrical (power) unit, what course can one run online that is relevant to this...

I want to increase my value in that regard.

You have not provided enough information.

It support in the power unit

Are you managing the ups? Stabilisers? Inverters and backup generator?

Server room?

What exactly do you mean power unit?

You need to clarify.

I'm in the power unit.

Power-what?

Generation, transmission, distribution

I dont believe you are in IT. Maybe your question should be reframed to say, you work for an electrical company, interested in IT, and what is a lucrative specialization to go into?

Moreover, I read further into your followup responses.

When you repair ups, electrical outlets, fix wall switches, fans and so on, it is called facility tech, not IT.

In support role in any field, customer service is a primary role. Master how to relate facts, you will need it to build trust with customers.

Cybrary and Microsoft have free professional IT support and cybersecurity certificate courses. Then you pay to take the certificate qualifying exams.

During the lockdown, it was free and subsidized. Harvard, Oxford, and MIT had many subsidized professional certificate courses and programmes during the Lockdown and I took many, earning myself many verified certificate courses.

Take courses from the Project Management Institute too. I took a Project Management courses there


Many of you missed chances during the Lockdown while some of us spent that year taking as many certificate courses as possible and even becoming popular on Twitter for a while for publicizing subsidized certificate courses.

Good luck!

Both the banking sector and telecom companies require a variety of electrical electronics courses to support their operations. Here are some examples of relevant courses:

Digital Signal Processing (DSP): This course teaches how to process and manipulate digital signals such as audio, images, and video. Telecom companies use DSP extensively in their voice and data communication systems, while banks may use DSP in fraud detection and prevention systems.

Microcontroller Programming: This course teaches how to program microcontrollers, which are small computing devices that are used in many electronic systems. Banks and telecom companies use microcontrollers in a variety of applications, such as security systems, access control systems, and smart card technology.

Wireless Communications: This course teaches the principles and techniques used in wireless communication systems, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Telecom companies use wireless communications extensively, while banks may use it for mobile banking applications and wireless payment systems.

Information Security: This course teaches the principles and techniques used to secure electronic systems and data. Both banks and telecom companies require strong information security measures to protect their sensitive data and prevent fraud.

Power Electronics: This course teaches the design and analysis of power electronic circuits, which are used to convert and control electrical power. Telecom companies and banks may use power electronics in a variety of applications, such as power supplies, battery charging systems, and uninterruptible power supplies.

These are just a few examples of the many electrical electronics courses that may be relevant to banks and telecom companies. The specific courses required will depend on the nature of the organization's operations and the specific roles and responsibilities of its employees.

What you are doing is actually called facilities management.

Where is your predecessor? What is his career path? I know a guy who oversaw the server room then moved to facilities mgt and is now procurement manager.

I cannot see a definitive it path based on facilities management.
