What could a trainee searching for Microsoft authorised training expect to come across? Patently, training providers should give access to a number of course choices that meet the requirements of training tracks certified by Microsoft.
It's a good idea to talk through what you're looking to do with an advisor - and if you're uncertain, then take counsel on which area of the industry would be right for you, based on your likes and dislikes and your character.
When you've settled on the career track for you, an appropriate course has to be selected that's goes with your skills and abilities. You should expect to be offered a bespoke package for you.
Several companies supply a practical Job Placement Assistance facility, to help you get your first job. Because of the growing need for more IT skills in this country today, it's not necessary to get too caught up in this feature though. It's actually not as hard as some people make out to secure a job once you're trained and certified.
Advice and support about getting interviews and your CV may be available (if it isn't, consult one of our sites). Ensure you work on your old CV right away - don't wait until you've finished your exams!
You may not have got to the stage where you've passed your first exam when you will be offered your first junior support role; yet this isn't going to happen if your CV isn't in front of employers.
If you don't want to travel too far to work, then you'll probably find that a specialist independent regional recruitment consultant or service might serve you better than a national service, because they're going to know the local job scene.
Do make sure you don't spend hundreds of hours on your training and studies, and then do nothing more and leave it up to everyone else to secure your first position. Stand up for yourself and start looking for yourself. Put the same resource into getting your new role as it took to get qualified.
So many training providers only look at the plaque to hang on your wall, and completely avoid what it's all actually about - which is of course employment. Always start with the end goal - don't make the journey more important than where you want to get to.
You may train for one year and then end up performing the job-role for decades. Avoid the mistake of choosing what sounds like a very 'interesting' program and then put 10-20 years into a job you don't like!
Take time to understand your leanings around career progression and earning potential, plus your level of ambition. You should understand what will be expected of you, what accreditations are required and where you'll pick-up experience from.
The best advice for students is to speak to an experienced professional before deciding on their study program. This is essential to ensure it has the required elements for the career that is sought.
The age-old way of teaching, using textbooks and whiteboards, is an up-hill struggle for the majority of us. If you're nodding as you read this, check out study materials that are on-screen and interactive.
Research over recent years has time and time again shown that becoming involved with our studies, to utilise all our senses, is proven to produce longer-lasting and deeper memory retention.
Fully interactive motion videos with demonstrations and practice sessions will forever turn you away from traditional book study. And they're far more fun.
Always insist on a study material demo' from the school that you're considering. The package should contain slide-shows, instructor-led videos and interactive labs where you get to practice.
It's usually bad advice to choose training that is only available online. Because of the variable quality and reliability of all internet service providers, it makes sense to have CD or DVD ROM based materials.
Speak with almost any expert consultant and they'll regale you with many worrying experiences of students who've been conned by dodgy salespeople. Stick to an experienced industry advisor who asks some in-depth questions to discover the most appropriate thing for you - not for their pay-packet! Dig until you find the very best place to start for you.
Quite often, the level to start at for someone with experience is substantially different to the student with none.
Where this will be your first stab at studying to take an IT exam then you might also want to cut your teeth on some basic user skills first.
