by: Jason Kendall What kind of things do you expect the top of the range Microsoft certified training providers to provide a trainee in Britain in this day and age? Undoubtedly, the ultimate in Microsoft authorised training routes, offering a range of options to take you into a selection of professions with IT. Try to discuss all the different permutations with a person who understands the commercial needs of the market, and can influence your choice of the most fruitful career to match your character. Make sure your course is designed to your ability level and skills. The best companies will always guarantee that the course is relevant to where you want to get to.
Without a doubt: There really is absolutely no individual job security now; there's only market or sector security - companies can just drop any single member of staff whenever it fits the business' business requirements. We could however hit upon security at the market sector level, by probing for areas of high demand, mixed with a lack of qualified workers.
The IT skills shortage around Great Britain clocks in at approx 26 percent, as shown by the most recent e-Skills investigation. Essentially, we're only able to fill just 3 out of each four job positions in IT. This distressing fact highlights the validity and need for more properly qualified computer professionals across Great Britain. Because the IT sector is expanding at such a rate, there really isn't any other sector worth looking at for your new career.
Make sure that all your exams are current and what employers are looking for - forget programs which end up with a useless in-house certificate or plaque. If your certification doesn't come from a conglomerate such as Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA, then it's likely it will have been a waste of time - because it won't give an employer any directly-useable skills.
The market provides a myriad of professional positions up for grabs in IT. Arriving at the correct choice for yourself is a mammoth decision. As having no commercial background in IT, how should we possibly understand what a particular job actually consists of? To get to the bottom of this, there should be a discussion of several different aspects:
* The sort of individual you are - which things you really enjoy, and don't forget - what you hate to do.
* Are you driven to re-train for a certain motive - for instance, is it your goal to work at home (self-employment?)?
* Does salary have a higher place on your wish list than other requirements.
* Understanding what typical Information technology areas and sectors are - plus how they're different to each other.
* The time and energy you will put into your training.
In these situations, you'll find the only real way to investigate these areas is through a chat with an advisor that has years of experience in the IT industry (and more importantly the commercial needs.)
A number of students assume that the traditional school, college or university route is still the best way into IT. So why are commercially accredited qualifications becoming more in demand? The IT sector now recognises that for an understanding of the relevant skills, certified accreditation from the likes of Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA often is more effective in the commercial field - and a fraction of the cost and time. This is done by concentrating on the skills that are really needed (along with a relevant amount of associated knowledge,) as opposed to spending months and years on the background 'padding' that computer Science Degrees can get bogged down in - to fill a three or four year course.
As long as an employer understands what they're looking for, then they simply need to advertise for the exact skill-set required to meet that need. Commercial syllabuses are all based on the same criteria and aren't allowed to deviate (as academic syllabuses often do).
