About Us

TechKnowSurge

TechKnowSurge was started in 2021 to fullfill a dream of Andrew’s to deliever amazing and free training courses to those starting a career in IT. Andrew quit his full time job in 2023 to further develop resources for TechKnowSurge. Although some services are paid services (everyone has to make a living somehow), the goal is to continue to offer many free courses and information that help people excel in the fast paced world of technology.
