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.
It's likely that you're a practical sort of person - a 'hands-on' individual. Usually, the trial of reading reference books and manuals is something you'll make yourself do if you have to, but you really wouldn't enjoy it. You should use video and multimedia based materials if you'd really rather not use books.
Memory is vastly improved when we use multiple senses - experts have been clear on this for many years.
Study programs now come in disc format, where your computer becomes the centre of your learning. Video streaming means you can watch instructors demonstrating how something is done, and then have a go at it yourself - via the interactive virtual lab's.
It's very important to see some example materials from each company you're contemplating. Be sure that they contain video, demonstrations and various 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.
Drop-shipping your training elements piece by piece, taking into account your exam passes is the normal way of receiving your courseware. While sounding logical, you should take these factors into account:
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.
Most of us would love to think that our jobs will remain secure and our work futures are protected, but the growing reality for the majority of jobs around the UK today seems to be that the marketplace is far from secure.
In actuality, security now only emerges in a rapidly increasing marketplace, driven by work-skills shortages. It's this shortage that creates the correct setting for a secure marketplace - a far better situation.
Recently, a UK e-Skills investigation highlighted that 26 percent of all available IT positions remain unfilled because of a lack of well-trained staff. Put simply, we only have the national capacity to fill 3 out of each 4 job positions in Information Technology (IT).
This one idea alone highlights why the UK is in need of many more people to join the industry.
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?
Corporate based study (as it's known in the industry) is far more specialised and product-specific. Industry is aware that this level of specialised understanding is what's needed to service the demands of a technically advancing marketplace. Microsoft, CISCO, Adobe and CompTIA are the dominant players.
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.
