Microsoft learning is where you can get MS certs in house. Start with MS-900 365 fundamentals. Then move toward Entra/Azure related certs. CCNA is good for networking (and a pretty decent overview of IT related operations) but not strictly IT, however CCNA as a cert does have solid implications for employability. You can do a course on something like Udemy and just not do the exam until you desire if it’s more about a skill brush up. I’ll try to add some more specific certs later.
Realistically, when I did my first trainee position in IT we did the MS certs (and the certs provided CMS/CRM), I think I would have rather the 15 years experience to put on my resume though. The best coworker when I worked at an MSP had a degree in IT so maybe a degree by correspondence while you work if you’re able but hard to say over something like a degree in networking. Depends on if you want to stay in IT or have flexibility.
