Congratulate yourself that you’re reading this article! Only one in ten folks are happy and satisfied by their jobs, but most of us complain to each other and nothing happens. Because you’ve done research we have a hunch that you’ve a personal interest in re-training, which means you’re already ahead of the pack. What comes next is research and follow-through.<\/p>\n
With regard to specific training programs, find an expert who will be able to guide you on the right type of training for you. A person who will ask questions about your likes and dislikes, and find out the best career for you to work towards:<\/p>\n
* Are you hoping to be involved with others in the workplace? Is that as part of a team or with many new people? Possibly operating on your own on specific tasks may be your preference?<\/p>\n
* Are you considering which sector you would be suited to? (In this economy, it’s more important than ever to be selective.)<\/p>\n
* Should this be a one off time that you’ll need to re-qualify?<\/p>\n
* Do you expect your new knowledge base to give you the chance to discover new employment possibilities, and stay employable until you choose to stop?<\/p>\n
We ask you to really explore the IT sector – there are greater numbers of positions than people to do them, and it’s one of the few choices of career where the sector is still growing. Despite what some people believe, IT isn’t all techie people lost in their PC’s every day (though those jobs exist.) Most positions are filled by people like you and me who enjoy better than average salaries.<\/p>\n
A big contender for the most common difficulty across all IT training is usually having to turn up to ‘In Centre’ days or workshops. Many training academies harp on about the plus points of attending, however, they quickly become a growing difficulty due to:<\/p>\n
* All the travelling required – lots of journeys and usually 100’s of miles at a go.<\/p>\n
* Asking for constant holidays or time off – most companies will only provide Mon-Fri class availability – typically grouping 2 or 3 days together. If you’re working then this can be difficult, especially if travelling time is added into the mix.<\/p>\n
* Let us not overlook the lost vacation days. Most of us have 4 weeks off each year. If half of that is used up on workshops, then there’s very little left over for us.<\/p>\n
* Training workshops often get over full.<\/p>\n
* Workshop pace – classes can contain trainees of mixed aptitude, consequently tension can be created between those that want to go quickly as opposed to those with less experience.<\/p>\n
* And don’t ignore the increased cost of travelling and over-night bed and breakfast either. Don’t be surprised to find this become hundreds and even thousands of pounds extra. Work it out – it’ll shock and surprise you.<\/p>\n
* Privacy is important to us all. We should never risk giving up any possible promotion at our current place of work because our employer knows we’re retraining.<\/p>\n
* Every one of us must, at some time, have avoided asking a question, because we didn’t want to look stupid?<\/p>\n
* Working and living away – a minority of trainees find they’re living or working away for part of their training. Classes become hard to get to, unfortunately you’ve already coughed up the readies when you paid initially.<\/p>\n
The ultimate convenience is watching a ready-made, videoed lesson – having instructor-led teaching on hand at any time of day.<\/p>\n
Just imagine… Utilising a notebook PC then you could learn in the garden, a park, or just outside. And 24×7 support is only a web-browser click away in case of difficulty.<\/p>\n
Repeat lessons and modules whenever you feel you need to – doing something over will help you remember it. And you can forget taking notes – everything is provided.<\/p>\n
The final upshot: Reduced hassle and stress, saved money, and no travelling or long journeys.<\/p>\n
If an advisor doesn’t dig around with lots of question – it’s more than likely they’re just trying to sell you something. If they push a particular product before getting to know your background and whether you have any commercial experience, then it’s very likely to be the case.<\/p>\n
If you’ve got a strong background, or even a touch of commercial experience (possibly even some previous certification?) then it’s likely your starting level will be different from a trainee who has no experience.<\/p>\n
It’s wise to consider some basic user skills first. Beginning there can make the slope up to the higher-levels a less steep.<\/p>\n
