If you'd like a future in supporting networks then the Microsoft MCSA(Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator) course is an idealqualification for you. So if you want to get going or already haveexperience but no certificate, there's a variety of options to fiteither requirement. Each of these options should have a different typeof course, so verify that the course is right for you before gettinggoing. Find a training provider that talks with you so they learn whatyou're trying to achieve, and can help you work out where you can go,before they select your course. Be careful that thequalifications you're working towards are commercially relevant and arethe most recent versions. 'In-house' exams and the certificates theycome with are usually worthless. The top IT companies like Microsoft,Cisco, CompTIA or Adobe have widely acknowledged skills courses. Hugeconglomerates such as these will make sure you're employable. Ifyour advisor doesn't question you thoroughly - the likelihood isthey're really a salesperson. If they push a particular product beforegetting to know your background and current experience level, then youknow it's true. Quite often, the level to start at for a trainee with alittle experience is substantially dissimilar to the student with none.It's wise to consider a user-skills course first. This can set thescene for your on-going studies and make your learning curve a muchmore gentle. The way in which your courseware is broken downfor you is usually ignored by most students. How many parts is thetraining broken down into? And in what order and what control do youhave at what pace it arrives? Usually, you will join a program thattakes between and 1 and 3 years and get posted one section at a time -from one exam to the next. While this may sound logical on one level,consider this: Often, the staged breakdown prescribed by the providerdoesn't suit you. You may find it a stretch to finalise every elementwithin the time limits imposed? To be in the best situation youwould have all the learning modules delivered to your home before youeven start; every single thing! Thus avoiding any future problems thatcould impede your progress. Searching for your first positionin IT can feel more straightforward with the help of a Job PlacementAssistance facility. Don't get overly impressed with this service - itisn't unusual for eager sales people to overstate it's need. At the endof the day, the still growing need for IT personnel in the UnitedKingdom is what will enable you to get a job. Update your CV atthe beginning of your training though (advice and support for thisshould come from your course provider). Don't delay until you'vequalified. Being considered a 'maybe' is more than not being regardedat all. Often junior support roles are got by students (who've onlyjust left first base.) The most reliable organisations to help get youplaced are most often independent and specialised local recruitmentservices. Because they make their money when they've found you a job,they're perhaps more focused on results. A slight frustrationfor some course providers is how hard people are prepared to work tobecome certified, but how un-prepared that student is to get the jobthey've trained for. Have confidence - the IT industry needs YOU. Oneinteresting way that course providers make a big mark-up is by addingexam fees upfront to the cost of a course then giving it 'ExamGuarantee' status. It looks impressive, till you look at the facts:In this day and age, we tend to be a tad more knowledgeable about salesgimmicks - and usually we know that for sure it is something we'repaying for (it isn't free or out of the goodness of their hearts!)Qualifying on the first 'go' is what everyone wants to do. Taking yourexams progressively when it's appropriate and paying for them justbefore taking them makes it far more likely you'll pass first time -you take it seriously and think carefully about the costs.Don't you think it's more sensible to not pay up-front, but when you'reready, rather than coughing up months or even a year or two in advanceto the training course provider, and to do it locally - instead ofmiles away at the college's beck and call? Paying upfront forexaminations (which also includes interest if you've taken out a loan)is a false economy. Why fill a company's coffers with your hard-earnedcash simply to help their cash-flow! Some will be pinning their hopeson the fact that you won't get to do them all - so they get to keep theextra funds. The majority of companies will insist on pre-tests andprohibit you from re-taking an exam until you've completely proven thatyou're likely to pass - which actually leaves you with no guarantee atall. Exams taken at local centres are in the region of 112pounds in the UK. What's the point of paying huge charges for 'ExamGuarantees' (often covertly rolled into the cost of the course) - whengood quality study materials, the proper support and commitment, effortand practice with quality exam preparation systems are the factors thatreally get you through.
