Our Story

ITRise was founded by experienced IT professionals who faced the same challenges you're facing today. Early in our careers, we struggled to navigate the overwhelming landscape of courses, certifications, and career paths.

We wasted time on low-quality courses, pursued irrelevant certifications, and lacked a clear strategy for career advancement. Eventually, we learned—through trial and error—how to build successful IT careers.

ITRise exists to save you from making the same mistakes. We've mapped out the most efficient paths to every major IT role, tested hundreds of courses, and distilled our experience into actionable guidance.

Today, ITRise helps over 10,000 IT professionals advance their careers with confidence. Whether you're starting from scratch or aiming for senior leadership, we provide the structure and guidance you need to succeed.
