What jobs can I get since I got a 2:2 and this degree
Hi what skills or experience is needed to get a job as a IT support Technical Technician. I now have my final degree classification in Computer Networks and Technology I have got a 2:2 sadly I was 4% off a 2:1 and I hope this does not impact my postgraduate job chances.

I thought you need next to nothing to become an IT support tech. In fact, if you want to go into networking, I very much doubt you need a degree.
See the following:

If you want to later work in networking, then you can consider specific professional IT certifications e.g. CompTIA, CIsco, something from Microsoft
See:

If you want to do something related to data you would need to look into other certifications, but I doubt this is something you want.
