In these days of super efficiency, support workers who have the ability to mend PC's and networks, plus give ongoing help to users, are vital in all sections of industry. Our requirement for more technically qualified people multiplies, as society becomes significantly more beholden to computers in today's environment.
A lot of training providers will only provide basic 9am till 6pm support (maybe a little earlier or later on certain days); not many go late into the evening (after 8-9pm) or cover weekends properly.
Always avoid certification programs which can only support trainees through a message system when it's outside of usual working hours. Companies will try to talk you round from this line of reasoning. But, no matter how they put it - you need support when you need support - not when it's convenient for them.
If you look properly, you'll find the top providers which provide their students direct-access support 24x7 - even in the middle of the night.
Look for a company that goes the extra mile. Only true round-the-clock 24x7 support provides the necessary backup.
It's important to understand: the training program or a certification is not what you're looking for; the particular job you're training for is. Far too many training organisations put too much weight in the piece of paper.
Avoid becoming part of the group who choose a training program that sounds really 'interesting' and 'fun' - and end up with a certification for a career they'll never really get any satisfaction from.
Be honest with yourself about how much you want to earn and how ambitious you are. Often, this changes what exams will be expected and what you can expect to give industry in return.
Take advice from a professional advisor, even if you have to pay - as it's a lot cheaper and safer to find out at the start whether you've chosen correctly, rather than find out after several years of study that you aren't going to enjoy the job you've chosen and have to start from the beginning again.
How can job security truly exist anymore? Here in the UK, where industry can change its mind whenever it suits, there doesn't seem much chance.
In times of increasing skills shortages coupled with high demand areas however, we often discover a newer brand of market-security; as fuelled by the constant growth conditions, companies just can't get the staff required.
The 2006 national e-Skills analysis showed that more than 26 percent of all IT positions available haven't been filled because of a lack of trained staff. To put it another way, this highlights that the United Kingdom is only able to source 3 certified professionals for each four job positions existing currently.
Accomplishing proper commercial computing certification is consequently a fast-track to achieve a life-long and rewarding living.
Because the IT sector is evolving at such a rate, there really isn't any other sector worth investigating as a retraining vehicle.
Commercial certification is now, very visibly, taking over from the more academic tracks into IT - why then has this come about?
Accreditation-based training (as it's known in the industry) is far more effective and specialised. The IT sector has realised that specialisation is what's needed to meet the requirements of an acceleratingly technical commercial environment. Microsoft, CompTIA, CISCO and Adobe are the big boys in this field.
Obviously, a necessary amount of background information needs to be learned, but precise specialised knowledge in the required areas gives a vendor educated student a real head start.
When an employer understands what areas they need covered, then all they have to do is advertise for someone with a specific qualification. The syllabuses are all based on the same criteria and don't change between schools (in the way that degree courses can). - 22654
