These days, commercial institutions would be severely hampered if it weren't for support workers solving problems with PC's and networks, while giving advice to users on a day to day basis. The world's need for such skilled and qualified members of the workforce is growing at an impressive rate, as everything becomes vastly more reliant on computers.
Look at the facts below carefully if you're inclined to think that over-used sales technique about examination guarantees seems like a good idea:
In this day and age, we are a little more 'marketing-savvy' - and most of us grasp that it is something we're paying for - it's not because they're so generous they want to give something away!
Students who take exams one at a time, paying for them just before taking them are in a much stronger position to qualify at the first attempt. They're aware of the cost and prepare more appropriately to be ready for the task.
Don't you think it's more sensible to find the best exam deal or offer when you're ready, instead of paying a premium to a training course provider, and also to sit exams more locally - instead of miles away at the college's beck and call?
A lot of questionable training providers net big margins because they're getting paid for all the exam fees up-front and hoping that you won't take them all.
It's worth noting that exam re-takes with training companies with an 'Exam Guarantee' are always heavily controlled. They will insist that you take pre-tests first so you can prove to them you have a good chance of passing.
Splashing out often many hundreds of pounds extra on an 'Exam Guarantee' is remiss - when hard work, commitment and the right preparation via exam simulations is what will really see you through.
A competent and practiced consultant (in contrast with a salesperson) will cover in some detail your current experience level and abilities. This is paramount to understanding the starting point for your education.
Where you have a strong background, or even a touch of work-based experience (some certifications gained previously perhaps?) then obviously the point from which you begin your studies will be quite dissimilar from a trainee who has no experience.
If you're a student commencing IT study from scratch, it can be useful to ease in gradually, kicking off with some basic user skills first. Usually this is packaged with most training packages.
When was the last time you considered the security of your job? Typically, this issue only becomes a talking point when we experience a knock-back. However, The cold truth is that our job security doesn't really exist anymore, for most of us.
Whereas a sector experiencing fast growth, with a constant demand for staff (due to a big shortfall of properly qualified people), creates the conditions for real job security.
The 2006 national e-Skills study demonstrated that 26 percent of computing and IT jobs remain unfilled because of a huge deficit of appropriately certified professionals. Meaning that for every 4 jobs that exist throughout the computer industry, there are barely three qualified workers to fulfil that role.
Appropriately qualified and commercially grounded new employees are thus at a total premium, and it's estimated to remain so for many years longer.
Without a doubt, this really is such a perfect time for retraining into the IT industry.
Be careful that the exams you're working towards will be recognised by employers and are up-to-date. The 'in-house' certifications provided by many companies are not normally useful in gaining employment.
You'll discover that only industry recognised accreditation from the major players like Microsoft, CompTIA, Adobe and Cisco will open the doors to employers.
