When thinking of a training program it's crucial that the qualification you'll be working towards falls in line with the working world. As well as this, be sure that the course will suit you, your personality and abilities.
Should you be considering advancing your technological abilities, maybe by improving your office user skills, or even loftier ambitions, you have a choice of how to study.
By minimising their overheads, there are training providers today supplying up-to-the-minute courses with excellent training and mentoring for considerably less money than is expected from the old-style trainers.
Many people question why qualifications from colleges and universities are being overtaken by more qualifications from the commercial sector?
Accreditation-based training (as it's known in the industry) is far more specialised and product-specific. Industry has become aware that this level of specialised understanding is essential to handle an increasingly more technical workplace. CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA dominate in this arena.
They do this through focusing on the skill-sets required (along with a proportionate degree of associated knowledge,) rather than spending months and years on the background detail and 'fluff' that computer Science Degrees often do - to fill a three or four year course.
What if you were an employer - and you required somebody who had very specific skills. What should you do: Pore through reams of different degrees and college qualifications from various applicants, having to ask what each has covered and which commercial skills they have, or select a specialised number of commercial certifications that precisely match your needs, and make your short-list from that. Your interviews are then about personal suitability - instead of having to work out if they can do the job.
Most training providers will only provide support available from 9-6 (office hours) and sometimes later on specific days; not many go late into the evening (after 8-9pm) or cover weekends properly.
Always avoid training courses that only support you with a message system when it's outside of usual working hours. Training organisations will try to talk you round from this line of reasoning. Essentially - you want to be supported when you need the help - not at times when they find it cheaper to provide it.
World-class organisations offer an internet-based round-the-clock service involving many support centres over many time-zones. You will be provided with a single, easy-to-use interface that seamlessly selects the best facility available irrespective of the time of day: Support on demand.
If you opt for less than 24x7 support, you'll regret it. You may avoid using the support during late nights, but what about weekends, late evenings or early mornings.
Make sure that all your exams are current and also valid commercially - don't bother with programmes that lead to in-house certificates.
If your certification doesn't come from a conglomerate such as Microsoft, Adobe, CompTIA or Cisco, then you'll probably find it will be commercially useless - because no-one will recognise it.
Working on progressive developments in new technology gives you the best job satisfaction ever. You personally play your part in shaping the next few decades.
Society largely thinks that the revolution in technology we have experienced is cooling down. This couldn't be more wrong. Terrific advances are ahead of us, and the internet particularly will become an increasingly dominant part of our lives.
The average IT worker throughout Britain is likely to receive a lot more money than equivalent professionals outside of IT. Mean average wages are some of the best to be had nationwide.
It's no secret that there is a substantial national need for certified IT specialists. It follows that with the marketplace continuing to expand, it looks like there's going to be for the significant future.
