In these days of super efficiency, support workers who can fix networks and PC's, and give ongoing advice to users, are essential in all areas of the business environment. As we get to grips with the daunting complexities of technology, growing numbers of trained staff are being sought to run the smooth operation of functions we rely on.
The age-old way of teaching, involving piles of reference textbooks, can be pretty hard going sometimes. If this describes you, look for learning programmes which feature interactive and multimedia modules.
Many years of research has time and time again confirmed that becoming involved with our studies, to utilise all our senses, is far more likely to produce long-lasting memories.
The latest audio-visual interactive programs featuring instructor demo's and practice lab's will forever turn you away from traditional book study. And they're a lot more fun to do.
Any company that you're considering must be able to demonstrate samples of their courseware. Expect video tutorials, instructor led classes and a wide selection of interactive elements.
Often, companies will only use purely on-line training; and although this is okay the majority of the time, think what will happen if your access to the internet is broken or you only get very a very slow connection sometimes. It is usually safer to have DVD or CD discs that will solve that problem.
It's usual for students to get confused with a single courseware aspect very rarely considered: The method used to 'segment' the courseware before being physically delivered to you.
Often, you'll enrol on a course requiring 1-3 years study and receive one element at a time until graduation. This may seem sensible until you think about these factors:
What would happen if you didn't finish each and every exam at the speed they required? Often the prescribed exam order doesn't come as naturally as another different route may.
Put simply, the best option is to obtain their recommendation on the best possible order of study, but make sure you have all of your learning modules right from the beginning. Everything is then in your possession in case you don't finish within their ideal time-table.
When did you last consider your job security? Normally, this isn't an issue until we experience a knock-back. Unfortunately, the lesson often learned too late is that job security doesn't really exist anymore, for most of us.
We're able though to locate security at market-level, by looking for areas in high demand, coupled with a shortage of skilled staff.
Investigating the computing market, the most recent e-Skills survey showed a 26 percent skills deficit. Showing that for every 4 jobs existing in the computer industry, we have only 3 certified professionals to fulfil that role.
Fully qualified and commercially accredited new employees are accordingly at an absolute premium, and in all likelihood it will stay that way for a long time.
No better time or market circumstances could exist for gaining qualification for this hugely expanding and blossoming business.
Many people question why traditional degrees are being overtaken by more commercial certificates?
The IT sector now acknowledges that to cover the necessary commercial skill-sets, the right accreditation from the likes of Microsoft, CompTIA, CISCO and Adobe often is more effective in the commercial field - for considerably less.
Obviously, an appropriate degree of associated information needs to be taught, but precise specifics in the particular job function gives a commercially educated person a huge edge.
What if you were an employer - and you needed to take on someone with a very particular skill-set. What's the simplest way to find the right person: Pore through reams of different degrees and college qualifications from various applicants, trying to establish what they know and which workplace skills have been attained, or choose particular accreditations that exactly fulfil your criteria, and make your short-list from that. The interview is then more about the person and how they'll fit in - instead of long discussions on technical suitability. - 20763
