If you're seeking Microsoft certified training, it stands to reason you'll want training organisations to offer a wide range of the best training programs available today.
Additionally you might hope to get advice on the sort of careers that are available when you've finished studying, and the type of individual such a career might be right for. Most students prefer to discuss what the best route is for them.
Once you've decided on the area you want to get into, a relevant course needs to be picked that's suits your ability level and skill set. This can be personally tailored for you.
Many students come unstuck over one area of their training very rarely considered: The breakdown of the course materials before being physically delivered to you.
Individual deliveries for each training module piece by piece, as you complete each module is the usual method of releasing your program. This sounds logical, but you might like to consider this:
What if there are reasons why you can't finish every single section? What if you don't find their order of learning is ideal for you? Due to no fault of yours, you may not meet the required timescales and not get all the study materials as a result.
In all honesty, the perfect answer is to have their ideal 'order' of training laid out, but to receive all the materials up-front. You then have everything if you don't manage to finish at their required pace.
Finding your first job in the industry can be a little easier with a Job Placement Assistance service. With the massive skills shortage in Great Britain even when times are hard, there isn't a great need to make too much of this option though. It isn't so complicated as you might think to get the right work as long as you've got the necessary skills and qualifications.
Help with your CV and interview techniques may be available (if not, see one of our sites for help). Make sure you update that dusty old CV straight away - not after you've qualified!
A good number of junior support jobs have been bagged by people who are in the process of training and haven't even passed a single exam yet. At least this will get your CV into the 'possible' pile and not the 'no' pile.
In many cases, an independent and specialised local recruitment consultant or service (who will get paid by the employer when they've placed you) will be more pro-active than a centralised training company's service. In addition, they will no doubt be familiar with the local area and commercial needs.
Do ensure you don't spend hundreds of hours on your training and studies, and then just stop and imagine someone else is miraculously going to secure your first position. Take responsibility for yourself and get out there. Channel the same energy and enthusiasm into securing your first job as it took to pass the exams.
It's likely that you've always enjoyed practical work - the 'hands-on' individual. If you're anything like us, the trial of reading reference books and manuals can be just about bared when essential, but it's not ideal. So look for on-screen interactive learning packages if book-based learning really isn't your style.
Long-term memory is enhanced when multiple senses are involved - educational experts have expounded on this for years now.
Learning is now available on CD and DVD discs, so everything is learned directly from your own PC. Using video-streaming, you can watch instructors demonstrating how to perform the required skill, with some practice time to follow - in an interactive lab.
It would be silly not to view a small selection of training examples before you make your decision. The minimum you should expect would be instructor-led video demonstrations and interactive modules with audio-visual elements.
Many companies provide online training only; while you can get away with this much of the time, consider how you'll deal with it if your access to the internet is broken or you get slow speeds and down-time etc. It's much safer to rely on CD and DVD ROM materials that don't suffer from these broadband issues.
Be on the lookout that any accreditations you're considering doing will be recognised by employers and are the most recent versions. Training companies own certificates are often meaningless.
Only nationally recognised examinations from the major players like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe and CompTIA will open the doors to employers.
