- Networking fundamentals such as DNS, routing, VPNs, and firewall management
- EPOS systems, eCommerce platforms, and retail technologies
- Data backup systems, and cloud storage solutions
- IP telephony, mobile device management, and CCTV/audio systems
- Office 365 administration and user support
- Hands-on hardware setup and troubleshooting, including store refits and cabling
