IT Infrastructure for Small Business — Plan, Secure & Run It Right
A practical, non-technical course for small business owners and office managers who have to make IT decisions without an IT department. It maps the building blocks of small-business technology and helps you decide what to run yourself, buy as a cloud service, or outsource to an MSP - then covers connectivity and Wi-Fi, devices and software, cloud email and file storage, backups and recovery (the 3-2-1 rule), the security essentials that stop most attacks (MFA, patching, phishing awareness, least privilege), and how to budget for IT and write a simple business-continuity plan. Every lesson ends with a do-it-now checklist that produces a real asset - an IT map, a build-vs-outsource worksheet, a backup plan, a security checklist, and a one-page IT budget and continuity plan. Includes concept tables, knowledge checks, mastery checks, a cumulative final exam, a downloadable playbook pack and a spaced-repetition flashcard deck. Free, decision-focused, no jargon.
