Each of these levels requires a specific course, so verify that you’ve got the correct program when making a start. Find a provider that’s willing to get to know you, and what you’re trying to achieve, and is able to give you enough facts to make your decision.
One of the most important things to insist on has to be 24×7 round-the-clock support via expert mentors and instructors. It’s an all too common story to find providers that only seem to want to help while they’re in the office (9am till 6pm, Monday till Friday usually) and nothing at the weekends. Look for training where you can receive help at all hours of the day and night (irrespective of whether it’s the wee hours on Sunday morning!) Ensure you get direct access to tutors, and not access to a call-in service which takes messages - so you’re constantly waiting for a call-back when it’s convenient for them.
The most successful trainers have many support offices across multiple time-zones. An online system provides an interactive interface to join them all seamlessly, irrespective of the time you login, help is just seconds away, without any contact issues or hassle. Unless you insist on support round-the-clock, you’ll end up kicking yourself. You might not want to use the service late in the night, but what about weekends, late evenings or early mornings.
Some training academies still use the slightly musty old method of classroom attendance. Often sold as a benefit, following a chat with most students who’ve had to attend a couple, you’ll find them listing some or all of the following problems:
* A lot of journeys to the workshops - often hundreds of miles.
* Taking constant holidays or time off - a lot of training providers can only give Mon-Fri class availability - typically grouping 2 or 3 days together. This isn’t ideal for most people who work, especially if travelling time is added into the mix.
* Let’s not disregard lost vacation time. We typically get 20 days holiday per year. If over 50 percent is used in classes, then we haven’t got much left for ourselves.
* ‘In-Centre’ workshop days sometimes are over-subscribed, so we end up having to take something that we don’t really want.
* Some trainees lean towards a somewhat more suitable pace - rather than be dictated to by the rest of the class. This can create classic classroom tension.
* Take into account all of all the travel, fares, accommodation, food and parking and you’ll be in for a big surprise. Students have reported extra costs of between several hundred and a couple of thousand pounds. Work it out - and understand where they’re coming from.
* Do you really want any chance of being passed-over for a lift up the ladder or wage increases just because you’re retraining.
* Posing questions in the presence of other class-mates can make any one of us feel nervous. Would you admit that you’ve occasionally avoided posing a question because you were worried it might make you look silly?
* If your work takes you away from home, it’s apparent that workshops are now awkward to keep up - unfortunately however, they’ve already been paid for.
The perfect situation rests with watching a pre-filmed class - with instructor-led learning available whenever you’d like. Whenever you get stuck, make use of the 24×7 support (that should come with any technical program.) Bear in mind, if you own a laptop, you can study just about anywhere. Modules and lessons can be repeated whenever you like - repetition is good for memory. And note-taking is gone forever - it’s all ready to go. Quite simply: You save time, hassle, money and completely avoid killing more trees.
Being a part of revolutionary new technology really is electrifying. You become one of a team of people creating a future for us all. We’re in the very early stages of beginning to see just how technology will define our world. Computers and the Internet will significantly revolutionise the way we see and interrelate with the world as a whole over the next few years.
And keep in mind that on average, the income of a person in the IT industry throughout this country is much more than the national average salary, so you’ll more than likely gain much more once qualified in IT, than you could reasonably hope to achieve elsewhere. There is a substantial UK-wide demand for professionally qualified IT workers. And as growth in the industry shows little sign of contracting, it appears there’s going to be for years to come.
