Good for you! By landing here we guess you must be considering re-training to work in a different industry – so you’ve already done more than most. Less of us than you’d think are satisfied with our careers, but most just moan and do nothing about it. Why not be one of a small number who decide to make the change.

We recommend you seek advice first – find someone who knows the industry; an advisor who can discover your ideal job, and then show you the career tracks you may be suited to:

* Is having company at work important to you? Is it meeting new people or being part of a team? Or are you better with things that you can get on with on your own?

* What thoughts do you have with regard to the sector of industry you’ll be employed in?

* Is this the last time you envisage re-training, and if so, will this new career service that need?

* Do you believe that your industry training course is commercially viable, and will provide the facility to keep you in work up to retirement age?

We would advise you to find out more about the IT industry – there are increasingly more jobs than workers to do them, and it’s one of the few choices of career where the market sector is on the grow. Despite what some people believe, IT isn’t all techie people gazing at their computer screens the whole day (though those jobs exist.) The vast majority of roles are done by people like you and me who want to earn a very good living.

A lot of training companies only give basic 9am till 6pm support (maybe a little earlier or later on certain days); very few go late in the evening or at weekends.

Don’t buy certification programs which can only support students with a call-centre messaging system outside of normal office hours. Training companies will give you every excuse in the book why you don’t need this. But, no matter how they put it – you need support when you need support – not as-and-when it’s suitable for their staff.

The best trainers incorporate three or four individual support centres around the globe in several time-zones. They use an online interactive interface to join them all seamlessly, any time of the day or night, help is just seconds away, without any contact issues or hassle.

Don’t under any circumstances take less than you need and deserve. Support round-the-clock is the only kind that ever makes the grade with technical study. It’s possible you don’t intend to study late evenings; often though, we’re out at work at the time when most support is available.

A lot of people think that the state educational path is the right way even now. Why then are commercially accredited qualifications beginning to overtake it?

With fees and living expenses for university students spiralling out of control, along with the industry’s increasing awareness that corporate based study is closer to the mark commercially, we have seen a big surge in Microsoft, CISCO, Adobe and CompTIA authorised training routes that supply key solutions to a student at a much reduced cost in terms of money and time.

Of course, a reasonable amount of relevant additional information has to be covered, but essential specialisation in the areas needed gives a vendor trained person a distinct advantage.

Just like the advert used to say: ‘It does what it says on the label’. The company just needs to know what areas need to be serviced, and then match up the appropriate exam numbers as a requirement. Then they’re assured that a potential employee can do exactly what’s required.

Accredited exam simulation and preparation software is crucial – and must be offered by your training supplier.

Due to the fact that many IT examination boards are American, you’ll need to be used to the correct phraseology. You can’t practice properly by merely going through the right questions – they must be in an exam format that exactly replicates the real thing.

Clearly, it is vital to know that you are completely prepared for your final certified exam prior to going for it. Rehearsing ‘mock’ exams helps build your confidence and will save a lot of money on failed exams.

Trainees eager to start an Information Technology career usually don’t know which path they should take, or which market to achieve their certification in.

As having no solid background in the IT industry, how could any of us understand what someone in a particular job does?

Usually, the way to come at this question in the best manner lies in a thorough chat, covering several different topics:

* Personality factors plus what interests you – the sort of working tasks you enjoy or dislike.

* What time-frame are you looking at for the retraining?

* Where is the salary on a scale of importance – is it very important, or does job satisfaction rate higher up on your list of priorities?

* With so many different sectors to gain certifications for in computing – you will have to achieve some key facts on what separates them.

* You need to understand what differentiates each individual training area.

The best way to avoid all the jargon and confusion, and uncover the most viable option for your success, have a good talk with an advisor with years of experience; an individual that will cover the commercial realities and truth while explaining each certification.
