If you have your certification in repair, then yes, you're a professional tech.

If not, then you're an amateur tech. You can still put those skills on a resume and it'll look impressive.

Sure why not. Most techs know about networking too. Setting them up and stuff. They also have some certifications. For all that it matters or helps them.

Dude, you have been here since JULY, What happened to all the points? & of 71 Answers a whopping zero % of them were chosen as best answers.

But if you have been able to fix PC's at friends place (Say even 2/3rds  of the time with atleast 50 correct answers/working solutions) or worked someplace, Why not? Go ahead..

The term "tech" does not require a license so anyone can use it. So yes.

a low end PC tech ok, but if you want to go into it get trainning because you are never up to date, and you never know it all.

I would only be comfortable calling myself a "PC tech" if I had a job to do so.(any company) A degree would be nice too.(working on mine :)

Real techs learn on the job and become experts in certain fields. That is why years of experience may be needed to apply for a tech job.

if you think your up to it then try to get certified by CompTIA you would want the A+ IT technician certification test

You can call yourself anything you like, as long as it doesn't conflict with any laws in your country / province / state.

Generally, to call yourself a "Professional" requires a degree, an internship, and a license.

You could probably write the CompTIA A+ certification exam relatively easily - just borrow a book from the library on it first - then call yourself an A+ certified technician.
