Network and computer support workers are constantly sought after in Great Britain, as companies are becoming more reliant upon their knowledge and capacity to solve problems. The world’s need for those people is constantly growing, as everything becomes significantly more computer dependent.

Many companies are all about the certification, and completely miss what you actually need – which is a commercial career or job. Your focus should start with the final destination in mind – don’t make the journey more important than where you want to get to.

It’s unfortunate, but a great many students commence training that sounds great from the syllabus guide, but which provides the end-result of a job that is of no interest. Just ask several college students for a real eye-opener.

Prioritise understanding the exact expectations industry will have. Which particular certifications you’ll be required to have and in what way you can gain some industry experience. It’s definitely worth spending time thinking about how far you wish to progress your career as it will often control your selection of exams.

Take advice from an experienced professional, even if there’s a fee involved – it’s considerably cheaper and safer to discover early on whether something is going to suit and interest you, rather than find out following two years of study that you’ve picked the wrong track and now need to go back to square one.

With so much choice, there’s no surprise that nearly all career changers don’t really understand the best career path they will follow.

Because in the absence of any commercial skills in IT, how should we possibly know what a particular job actually consists of?

Contemplation on these areas is required if you want to get to the right solution that will work for you:

* Which type of individual you are – the tasks that you enjoy, and don’t forget – what makes you unhappy.

* Do you hope to achieve an important dream – for example, working for yourself someday?

* Any personal or home needs you have?

* Some students don’t fully understand the energy involved to achieve their goals.

* You have to appreciate the differences between each area of training.

To bypass all the jargon and confusion, and reveal the most viable option for your success, have a good talk with an industry-experienced advisor; an individual that will cover the commercial realities and truth as well as all the qualifications.

A lot of students think that the tech college or university system is the way they should go. So why then are commercially accredited qualifications beginning to overtake it?

Corporate based study (in industry terminology) is most often much more specialised. Industry is aware that a specialist skill-set is what’s needed to handle an acceleratingly technical commercial environment. CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA dominate in this arena.

In essence, only that which is required is learned. It isn’t quite as lean as that might sound, but the most important function is always to cover the precise skills needed (alongside some required background) – without trying to cram in all sorts of other things (as degree courses are known to do).

Imagine 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: Go through a mass of different academic qualifications from hopeful applicants, having to ask what each has covered and which vocational skills they’ve mastered, or pick out specific commercial accreditations that perfectly fit your needs, and draw up from that who you want to speak to. You’ll then be able to concentrate on getting a feel for the person at interview – instead of long discussions on technical suitability.

Many students come unstuck over one aspect of their training which is often not even considered: The way the training is divided into chunks and sent out to you.

Training companies will normally offer a program spread over 1-3 years, and deliver each piece one-by-one as you pass each exam. On the surface this seems reasonable – until you consider the following:

What could you expect if you didn’t actually complete each and every module at the proposed pace? Often the staged order won’t be as easy as another different route may.

To avoid any potential future issues, many trainees now want to insist that all study materials are delivered immediately, and not in stages. It’s then your own choice in what order and how fast or slow you want to work.
