About

Help Desk Simulator is a browser practice tool for Tier 1 IT help desk and service desk work. It is built for career changers, IT certification students and anyone preparing for a help desk interview or a first week on the job.Each ticket is fictional but based on everyday desk situations: a password reset that might be social engineering, a VPN that fails on hotel Wi-Fi, an upset user, an executive who wants a policy exception today. You choose the next step and read why it works or where it backfires. A shift ends with a readout of four skills: security, empathy, escalation and troubleshooting.Free: 25 ticket drills, no account needed.Pro: $20/month, $108 for 6 months or $192/year, with a 14-day refund on the first payment. It adds 500 questions across five types (tickets, interview questions, STAR stories, follow-ups and step order), employer-type practice packs and a PDF report.It is practice, not a certification or a full desktop lab.
