What might you expect the top of the range training organisations accredited by Microsoft to offer a student in the UK today? Undoubtedly, the most supreme Gold Partner Microsoft accredited programs, providing a selection of courses to lead you to a variety of careers in the IT workplace.

Try to discuss all the different permutations with somebody who is on familiar terms with the commercial needs of the market, and can influence your choice of the more likely roles to match your character.

Training must be customised to make the most of your skills and abilities. Consequently, once you’ve decided on the most fruitful career for you, your next requirement is the most suitable program that will get you into that job.

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.

You may think it logical (when study may take one to three years to pass all the required exams,) for many training providers to send out one module at a time, as you complete each part. However:

What could you expect if you didn’t actually complete each element at the speed they required? Often the prescribed exam order doesn’t work as well as another different route may.

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.

Some training providers will provide a useful Job Placement Assistance facility, to help you get your first job. However sometimes people are too impressed with this facility, as it is actually not that hard for any motivated and trained individual to get work in the IT environment – because companies everywhere are seeking qualified personnel.

One important thing though, avoid waiting until you have completed your exams before bringing your CV up to date. Right at the beginning of your training, list what you’re working on and get promoting!

Having the possibility of an interview is far better than not even being known about. A decent number of junior positions are got by people in the early stages of their course.

The most efficient companies to help get you placed are generally independent and specialised local recruitment services. As they will get paid by the employer when they’ve placed you, they’re perhaps more focused on results.

Various students, it seems, invest a great deal of time on their training course (for years sometimes), only to give up at the first hurdle when trying to get the right position. Promote yourself… Do your best to let employers know about you. Don’t think a job’s just going to jump out in front of you.

People attracted to this sort of work can be very practical by nature, and aren’t really suited to the classroom environment, and struggling through thick study-volumes. If you identify with this, try the newer style of interactive study, where you can learn everything on-screen.

If we’re able to involve all our senses in the learning process, our results will often be quite spectacular.

Modern training can now be done at home via easy-to-use DVD or CD ROM’s. Real-world classes from the instructors will mean you’ll learn your subject by way of their teaching and demonstrations. Then it’s time to test your knowledge by practicing and interacting with the software.

Each company you’re contemplating should be able to show you a few samples of the type of training materials they provide. Make sure you encounter videos of instructor-led classes and a wide selection of interactive 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.

Ensure all your accreditations are current and also valid commercially – don’t bother with courses that only give in-house certificates.

From an employer’s viewpoint, only the top companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA (for instance) provide enough commercial weight. Nothing else will cut the mustard.
