Gone are those times when the companies and the organisations didn't need a hi-tech system to handle them.

Well done! Hitting upon this feature means you're likely to bepondering over your options, and if it's re-training you're consideringthen you've already got further than the majority of people will. Canyou believe that just one in ten of us would say we are satisfied andhappy at work - but most will take no corrective action. We encourageyou to stand out from the crowd and take action - those who do hardlyever regret it. When looking at training, it's important tofirst define your requirements from the position you would like to get.It's important to discover if the grass actually is greener before yourenergies are focused on altering your life's plans. We recommendlooking at the end goal first, to avoid disappointment: * Doyou like to work collaborating with people? Would that be with the samepeople or with many new people? Perhaps working alone in isolation maybe your preference? * Which criteria's are fundamental when considering the market sector you'll work in?* Should this be the only time re-training is necessary?* Do you believe that retraining in your chosen sector can help youfind employment, and will provide the facility to allow you to workuntil retirement? We ask you to have a good look at thecomputer industry - there are more roles than people to do them, plusit's a rare career choice where the sector is still growing. Incontrast to the opinions of certain people, IT is not full of nerdyindividuals gazing at their computer screens the whole day (thoughthose jobs exist.) The majority of jobs are taken by people like youand me who enjoy a very nice lifestyle due to better than averagewages. The way a programme is physically sent to you isusually ignored by most students. How is the courseware broken down?And in what sequence and how fast does each element come? The majorityof training companies will set up a 2 or 3 year study programme, anddeliver each piece one-by-one as you pass each exam. This soundsreasonable until you consider the following: What if you find the orderinsisted on by the company won't suit you. It may be difficult to getthrough all the modules within their timetable? To avoid anypotential future issues, many trainees now want to request that alltheir modules (now paid for) are sent immediately, and not in apiecemeal fashion. It's then your own choice in what order and how fastor slow you want to work. Student support is absolutelyessential - locate a good company offering 24x7 direct access toinstructors, as not obtaining this level of support will severely holdup your pace and restrict your intake. Locate training schools whereyou can receive help at all hours of the day and night (irrespective ofwhether it's the wee hours on Sunday morning!) Ensure you get 24x7direct access to mentors and instructors, and not a call-centre thatwill take messages so you're parked in a queue of others waiting to becalled back at a convenient time for them. Top trainingproviders tend to use an internet-based 24x7 system pulling in severalsupport offices over many time-zones. You will have an interface whichseamlessly accesses whichever office is appropriate at any time of dayor night: Support available as-and-when you want it. Never make do witha lower level of service. Direct-access 24x7 support is the only kindthat ever makes the grade with computer-based learning. Perhaps youdon't intend to study during the evenings; but for the majority of ushowever, we're working when traditional support if offered. Youhave to be sure that all your exams are commercially valid and current- forget studies which lead to some in-house certificate (which is asuseless as if you'd printed it yourself). If your certification doesn'tcome from a big-hitter like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA, thenchances are it could have been a waste of time and effort - because itwon't give an employer any directly-useable skills. There arecolossal changes about to hit technology as we approach the seconddecade of the 21st century - and the industry becomes moreground-breaking every year. Technological changes and communicationthrough the web will noticeably alter our lifestyles over the comingyears; remarkably so. Should receiving a good salary be aroundthe top on your goal sheet, then you will welcome the news that theusual remuneration for the majority of IT staff is significantly betterthan salaries in other market sectors. Due to the technological sectoremerging with no sign of a slow-down, it's predictable that demand forcertified IT professionals will continue actively for a good while yet.
