Computer and network support staff are more and more sought after in Great Britain, as organisations are becoming more reliant on their technical advice and fixing and repairing abilities. As we're all becoming growingly reliant on our PC's, we additionally inevitably become more reliant on the well trained network engineers, who keep the systems going.
An area that's often missed by new students weighing up a particular programme is the concept of 'training segmentation'. This basically means how the program is broken down into parts for timed release to you, which completely controls the point you end up at.
Drop-shipping your training elements one stage at a time, taking into account your exam passes is the normal way of receiving your courseware. This sounds sensible, but you might like to consider this:
What if for some reason you don't get to the end of every exam? Maybe the prescribed order won't suit you? Through no fault of your own, you may not meet the required timescales and therefore not end up with all the modules.
Truth be told, the perfect answer is to get an idea of what they recommend as an ideal study order, but to receive all the materials up-front. Meaning you've got it all in case you don't finish as fast as they'd like.
You have to be sure that all your qualifications are what employers want - you're wasting your time with courses that lead to in-house certificates.
Only properly recognised qualifications from the top companies like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe and CompTIA will open the doors to employers.
Remember: a training program or the accreditation is not the ultimate goal; the particular job that you want to end up in is. Many trainers unfortunately place too much importance on just the training course.
Don't let yourself become one of the unfortunate masses that choose a course that seems 'fun' or 'interesting' - only to end up with a qualification for an unrewarding career path.
Set targets for how much you want to earn and the level of your ambition. This can often control which qualifications you'll need to attain and what'll be expected of you in your new role.
The best advice for students is to talk with highly experienced advisors before they embark on a training programme. This gives some measure of assurance that it contains the relevant skills for the career path that has been chosen.
We can all agree: There really is no such thing as individual job security anywhere now; there's only industry or business security - companies can just let anyone go if it fits their trade requirements.
Where there are increasing skills shortfalls coupled with high demand areas though, we can find a new kind of security in the marketplace; driven by a continual growth, organisations struggle to find the staff required.
Using the Information Technology (IT) sector for example, a key e-Skills survey brought to light a skills shortage throughout Great Britain in excess of 26 percent. Quite simply, we're only able to fill 3 out of each four job positions in IT.
This single fact in itself underpins why the country urgently requires a lot more people to enter the IT sector.
It's unlikely if a better time or market circumstances is ever likely to exist for getting certified in this rapidly expanding and evolving market. - 33394
