What can a student searching for Microsoft certified training expect to find today? Obviously, companies should give access to a number of routes that match the needs of Microsoft certified training paths. Maybe you'd choose to talk about career options with a training advisor - and should you be confused, then get help to sort out whereabouts in industry would be best, based on your personality and ability level. Insist that your training is tailored to your ability level and skills. The best companies will make sure that the training is designed for the career you want to get into.
Without a doubt, the Information Technology (IT) industry provides phenomenal prospects. However, to investigate fully, what are the questions we should pose, and what are the areas we need to look at?
Many companies only concern themselves with gaining a certificate, and completely avoid why you're doing this - which will always be getting the job or career you want. Always start with the final destination in mind - don't get hung-up on the training vehicle. It's a testament to the marketing skills of the big companies, but thousands of new students kick-off study that often sounds spectacular in the syllabus guide, but which provides a job that doesn't fulfil at all. Speak to a selection of university students to see what we mean.
You must also consider what your attitude is towards career development, earning potential, plus your level of ambition. It's vital to know what industry expects from you, which exams they want you to have and how you'll gain real-world experience. All students are advised to talk with an experienced advisor before they embark on a learning path. This is essential to ensure it contains the commercially required skills for the chosen career.
We'd hazard a guess that you've always enjoyed practical work - the 'hands-on' individual. Usually, the painful task of reading endless manuals is something you'll make yourself do if you have to, but you'd hate it. So look for on-screen interactive learning packages if book-based learning really isn't your style. Many years of research has constantly verified that getting into our studies physically, is proven to produce longer-lasting and deeper memory retention.
Locate a program where you'll get a host of DVD-ROM's - you'll be learning from instructor videos and demo's, with the facility to use virtual lab's to practice your new skills. Always insist on a look at some courseware examples from your training provider. You should ask for instructor videos, demonstrations, slide-shows and lab's for you to practice your skills in.
Avoiding training that is delivered purely online is generally a good idea. Ideally, you should opt for CD and DVD ROM courseware where offered, so that you have access at all times - you don't want to be reliant on your internet connection always being 'up' and available.
If you forget everything else - then just remember this: It's essential to obtain proper 24x7 round-the-clock professional support from mentors and instructors. You'll severely regret it if you let this one slide. You'll be waiting ages for an answer with email based support, and telephone support is usually to a call-centre which will take the information and email an instructor - who'll call back sometime over the next 1-3 days, when it's convenient to them. This isn't a lot of good if you're sitting there confused over an issue and can only study at specific times.
As long as you look hard, you will find the top providers which recommend and use direct-access support at all times - at any time of day or night. Never make do with a lower level of service. Online 24x7 support is the only kind to make the grade for computer-based learning. Maybe late-evening study is not your thing; usually though, we're out at work during the provided support period.
'In-Centre' days can be portrayed as a great feature by a lot of training companies. After talking to most computer industry trainees that have tried them out, you'll likely realise that they've now become a waste of time due to many reasons:
* All that travelling - many journeys and normally 100's of miles at a go.
* If you're working, then weekday events are difficult to make. You could be contending with two or three days together to make it worse.
* At only 20 days holiday per year, sacrificing half of them for educational events means we'll be hard-pushed to get a holiday with our families.
* In a situation where running costs are very high, a lot of training companies make the classes quite large - which isn't ideal (increasing the ratio of students to teachers).
* The 'pace' - workshops normally contain trainees of varying skill, so tension can be created between students with more background knowledge and those with less experience.
* You can't overlook the added cost of arranging transport and bed and breakfast for the night either. Don't be surprised to find this become a lot of money - from hundreds to thousands. Do the maths yourself - you'll be (unpleasantly) surprised.
* Do you really want the possibility of letting yourself be overlooked for a possible promotion or salary hikes because of your studies.
* Posing questions in the presence of other class-mates often makes us a little uncomfortable. Would you admit that you've occasionally avoided posing a question as you honestly thought you might seem thick?
* More often than not, days in-centre frequently become pretty much undoable, where you live or work away from home for part of the week.
It obviously makes more sense to be trained at a time that's convenient for you - not the school - and employ virtual lab environments with videos of your instructors. Think... With a laptop you can learn in any location you choose. And live 24x7 support is an online click away if you hit challenges. You have the ability to do the modules whenever you need to. There's absolutely no need to take notes because you'll always have access to the teaching. What could be simpler: No travelling, wasted time or money; and you get a much more relaxed study atmosphere.
At times individuals don't understand what information technology means. It's stimulating, innovative, and means you're working on technology that will change our world over the next few decades. We're only just starting to see just how technology will define our world. Computers and the Internet will significantly transform the way we see and interrelate with the rest of the world over the coming years.
And don't forget that typical remuneration in the IT industry across the UK is a lot better than remuneration packages in other industries, which means you'll most likely gain noticeably more once qualified in IT, than you would in most typical jobs. Due to the technological sector emerging nationally and internationally, it's looking good that the need for professionally qualified and skilled IT workers will continue to boom for years to come.
