Help Desk Certificates Earned on Real Simulator Work

There are two small sub-certificates to show the way, six certificates for a whole area of the job, and one master certificate for all of it. Only a ticket resolved with a pass counts: a partial result, a tutorial, or a ticket you raised for yourself does not, and closing the same ticket again never counts twice.

Ticket certificates follow the area of the work. Active Directory and access tickets count toward Active Directory Administrator, networking tickets toward Switching & Routing Operations, software and hardware tickets toward Desktop Support Technician, and security tickets toward Security Operations Responder. Every resolved ticket also counts toward Help Desk Professional and the Service Desk Master.

Your progress is counted on the SysDesks server from the ticket outcomes and training lab completions stored on your account. The browser never decides that a certificate is earned and cannot ask for one; the server counts the work, decides, and issues the certificate itself.

Before your first certificate is issued, you type your full name once. It is shown back to you exactly as it will be printed, and you confirm that you understand it cannot be changed afterwards, because every certificate you earn carries the same name.

Certificates you have not earned yet are shown on your profile as frosted cards with a lock, the requirement, and how far along you are, so you always know what the next one takes.

Each certificate has its own verification ID and a public link. Anyone you share it with, such as a hiring manager or an instructor, can open the link and see the certificate's title, the name printed on it, the date it was issued, and whether it is still valid.

The verification page shows nothing else about your account, and it is kept out of search engines, so your certificates are only found by the people you send them to. A certificate can be revoked if it was issued in error, and the verification page then says so plainly.

Every certificate can be earned on any account. A free account works a daily allowance of tickets, so its ticket certificates take longer; Tech Expert and Technical Genius plans work more tickets each day and open all ten hands-on training labs, which the lab certificates and the Service Desk Master ask for. The first training lab is free on every account.

A SysDesks certificate records work completed in the SysDesks IT help desk simulator: tickets resolved to a passing standard and training labs completed end to end. It is a way to show what you have practiced and how much of it.

It is not a vendor certification or an accredited qualification. SysDesks is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft, CompTIA, or any other certification body. Many people use SysDesks alongside study for an industry certification, to practice the hands-on side of the same skills.
