Technical Support Engineer (SaaS, Tier 2)
Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.
- Engineering escalationA bug written so an engineer can reproduce it in minutes: the steps, expected against actual, the cause as far as support can see it, the impact, and the case nobody has hit yet.
- Integration diagnosis and replyAn angry 'your API is broken' answered with the evidence: what the logs show, why the requests are refused, the fix for the customer's script, and how to prove it works.
- Incident customer updatesThe customer side of an outage: status page updates on a fixed rhythm, a script for Tier 1, a practical workaround for care homes, and a closing update, all without guessing at the cause.
- Escalation criteria and coaching planWhy Tier 1 escalated four tickets in ten, the evidence, the criteria that replace 'escalate if unsure', the help content and coaching that make them work, and how success is measured.

Description
Every CertClue course follows the same seven-part shape: fundamentals, the role translated out of job-posting language, a real working day, the job's recurring rhythms, a multi-day simulation, the portfolio you build along the way, and a handoff into your next move. Here is what that looks like for technical support engineer (saas, tier 2).
Who this course is for
Anyone aiming to become a technical support engineer (saas, tier 2), including career changers with no background in it yet. This is the entry rung of a realistic ladder:
Answers customers' questions and known problems, and escalates what it cannot solve with the detail Tier 2 needs.
Takes the problems Tier 1 cannot solve: reproduces and diagnoses them, writes escalations engineering can act on, and speaks for customers during incidents.
Leads the technical support team, designs how problems flow to engineering, and turns support data into product decisions.
