IT Training In Your Own Home Described
>Only one in ten people in the United Kingdom are happy with what they do for a living. Of course, most will do nothing about it. The reality of your getting here surely suggests that you’ve realised change must come.
We recommend you seek advice first – find someone who knows the industry; an advisor who can get to the bottom of what you’ll like in a job, and analyse the career tracks which will get you there:
* Is working with other people your thing? Perhaps you like being a team player? Or are you better with things that you can complete alone?
* The banks and building sector are a little shaky today, so it’s important to look very carefully at what sector would give you the most options?
* Once you’ve qualified, are you hoping your new skills will give you the ability to take you through to retirement?
* Would you like your training course to be in an industry where you believe you’ll have a job up to retirement age?
It would be an idea for you to find out more about the IT industry – there are more jobs than people to do them, and it’s one of the few choices of career where the industry is on the grow. Despite the opinions of certain people, IT isn’t all techie people lost in their PC’s all day long (if you like the sound of that though, they do exist.) Most positions are done by ordinary men and women who like receiving larger than average salaries.
Look at the following points carefully if you think that over-used sales technique about ‘guaranteeing’ exams sounds like a benefit to the student:
In this day and age, we’re a little bit more aware of sales ploys – and usually we cotton on to the fact that we’re actually paying for it (it’s not a freebie because they like us so much!) Evidence shows that when students fund their own exams, at the time of taking them, they will be much more likely to get through on the first attempt – because they are conscious of what they’ve paid and their application will be greater.
Sit the exam at a local pro-metric testing centre and go for the best offer you can find when you’re ready. Including money in your training package for examinations (and interest charges if you’re borrowing money) is bad financial management. Resist being talked into filling the training company’s account with your money only to please their Bank Manager! There are those who hope that you won’t get to do them all – so they get to keep the extra funds. Remember, with ‘Exam Guarantees’ from most places – the company decides when you can do your re-takes. They’ll only allow a re-take once completely satisfied.
Exams taken at VUE and Prometric centres are currently clocking in at an average of 112 pounds in the United Kingdom today. What’s the point of paying huge ‘Exam Guarantee’ costs (often hidden in the cost) – when a quality course, support and consistent and systematic learning, coupled with quality exam simulation software is what will really see you through.
An effective training program will also offer accredited exam simulation and preparation packages. Due to the fact that many IT examining boards tend to be American, you must be prepared for the way exams are phrased. It’s no use simply answering any old technical questions – they have to be in the same format as the actual exams. As you can imagine, it is vital to make sure you’re absolutely ready for your final certified exam prior to going for it. Practicing mock-up exams helps build your confidence and helps to avoid wasted exam attempts.
We’re regularly asked to explain why traditional academic studies are less in demand than the more commercially accredited qualifications? The IT sector is of the opinion that to learn the appropriate commercial skills, certified accreditation from such organisations as Microsoft, CISCO, Adobe and CompTIA often is more effective in the commercial field – for considerably less. Academic courses, as a example, often get bogged down in too much background study – and much too wide a syllabus. This prevents a student from learning the core essentials in sufficient depth.
The bottom line is: Authorised IT qualifications give employers exactly what they’re looking for – everything they need to know is in the title: as an example – I am a ‘Microsoft Certified Professional’ in ‘Planning and Maintaining a Windows 2003 Infrastructure’. Consequently an employer can look at their needs and what certifications are required to perform the job.
Don’t put too much store, as a lot of students can, on the accreditation program. You’re not training for the sake of training; this is about gaining commercial employment. Focus on the end-goal. Don’t let yourself become one of those unfortunate people who set off on a track that seems ‘fun’ or ‘interesting’ – only to end up with a qualification for something they’ll never enjoy.
You must also consider how you feel about career progression and earning potential, plus your level of ambition. You need to know what will be expected of you, what particular qualifications will be required and how to develop your experience. Look for advice and guidance from an experienced industry advisor, even if there’s a fee involved – it’s usually much cheaper and safer to find out at the beginning if your choices are appropriate, rather than realise after 2 years that you’re doing entirely the wrong thing and have to start from the beginning again.
