Should you be doing a search for Microsoft certified training,
then you'll naturally expect training providers to offer a wide range of the most superior courses available today. Perhaps you'd like to have a chat about jobs with an advisor - and if you haven't come to a decision, then get help to sort out which area of the industry would suit you most, dependent on your abilities and personality. Training should be customised to reflect your ability level and skill set. So, once you've decided on the most appropriate area of work for you, you'll then need to look at what is the appropriate training programme to get you there.
A successful training program should also offer wholly authorised simulation materials and exam preparation packages. As a lot of IT examining boards come from the United States, you'll need to be used to the correct phraseology. You can't practice properly by simply understanding random questions - they have to be in the same format as the actual exams. Why don't you check your depth of understanding by doing quizzes and simulated exams prior to taking the actual exam.
'In-Centre workshop days' are often sold as a great feature by many training schools. After a good chat with most computer industry hopefuls who have used them, you'll likely realise that they've now become a mistake because of many things:
* A lot of driving back and forth from the training centre - often 100's of miles.
* Availability of classes; typically Mon-Fri and sometimes two to three days together. It's not easy to get the days away from work.
* At only 20 days holiday per year, spending half on study events means we'll be hard-pushed to get a holiday with our families.
* Classes often become quickly full, leaving us with the '2nd best' solution.
* Often trainees want to work as quickly as possible, but some need a more gentle learning curve and want to set their own pace that fits. This brings tension and unrest in most workshops.
* The cost of travel - driving or taking public transport to and from the training centre plus accommodation for the duration can mount up each time you attend. With only five to ten classes at a cost of 35 pounds for a single over-night room, plus forty pounds for petrol and 15 pounds for food, we arrive at four to nine hundred pounds of hidden costs that we now have to fund.
* Most students would like to keep their training completely private and therefore avoiding all management questions in their job.
* Surely, all of us at some time have avoided putting our hand's up, because we wanted to look smarter?
* Don't forget, classes become simply undoable, where you live or work away from home for part of the week.
It would be better to watch a video and be taught by industry specialists one-to-one from videoed lessons, studying them when it's convenient for you, not someone else. Do them at home on your computer or why not in the garden on a laptop. Any questions that pop up, just use the provided 24x7 live support (that should've been packaged with any technical type of training.) It's never going to matter how often you feel you need to repeat something, filmed tutors can never get frustrated with you! Plus, as a consequence, you can say goodbye to note-taking. Everything is there for immediate use. Even though there's no way this can take away each and every issue, it undoubtedly reduces stress and eases things. You've also got less travel, hassle and costs.
