If your future is in being a web designer,
you will need to study Adobe Dreamweaver. To facilitate Dreamweaver professionally in web design, a full understanding of the entire Adobe Web Creative Suite (which incorporates Flash and Action Script) is highly recommended. With this knowledge, you might lead on to becoming an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) or Adobe Certified Professional (ACP).
Having knowledge of how to build the website is only the beginning. Driving traffic, content maintenance and programming database-driven sites are also required. Aim for training with bolt-ons to include these skills perhaps HTML, PHP and MySQL, as well as Search Engine Optimisation and E Commerce.
If you're thinking of using a training academy which is still pushing 'in-centre' days as a feature of their programme, then listen to these difficulties reported by many trainees:
* Frequent travelling - 100's of miles a lot of the time.
* If you work for a living, then Monday to Friday workshops are hard to attend. More than likely you will be facing several days in a row too.
* Let's not forget the lost vacation days. Often, we get 4 weeks off each year. If over 50 percent is used in classes, then it doesn't leave much for us and our families.
* Workshops can 'sell out' fast and can sometimes be too big - so they're not personal enough.
* A lot of trainees are trying to maintain a quick pace, others want a more steady pace and not be pushed beyond their comfort-zone. This brings tension in most workshops.
* Rising travel prices - driving or taking public transport to and from the training premises plus several days accommodation can mount up each time you attend. If we just assume 5-10 classes at about thirty-five pounds for an over-night room, plus forty pounds for petrol and food at 15.00, that equates to four to nine hundred pounds of extra costs to cover.
* The majority of students would like to keep their training completely private thus avoiding all questions at work.
* It's very common for attendees not to pose the question that's bugging them - purely down to the fact that they're surrounded by fellow attendees.
* Where students have to at times work elsewhere in the country for several days at a time, imagine the trouble involved in reaching the needed events, when time-off becomes even harder to obtain.
The most elegant solution rests with watching a pre-made workshop - having instructor-led teaching on hand whenever you wish. You can study 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 you should have insisted on for any technical study.) Repeat any modules whenever you feel you need to - doing something over will help you remember it. And note-taking becomes a thing of the past - it's already provided. Basically: Time and money is saved, you have reduced hassle and you avoid polluting the environment.
Many training companies only provide office hours or extended office hours support; most won't answer after 8-9pm at the latest and frequently never at the weekends. Never purchase training that only supports students with an out-sourced call-centre message system when it's outside of usual working hours. Trainers will always try to hide the importance of this issue. The simple fact of the matter is - you want support at the appropriate time - not when it suits them.
It's possible to find the top providers that recommend and use direct-access support at all times - including evenings, nights and weekends. Don't accept second best where support is concerned. The vast majority of IT hopefuls who fall by the wayside, are in that situation because of a lack of support.
Often, people don't really get what IT is all about. It is electrifying, revolutionary, and means you're a part of the huge progress of technology that will impact the whole world for generations to come. Computing technology and interaction via the internet is going to dramatically affect the way we live our lives over the coming years; profoundly so.
The standard IT worker in the United Kingdom can demonstrate that they receive noticeably more than equivalent professionals in much of the rest of the economy. Average remuneration packages are some of the best to be had nationwide. The search for well trained and qualified IT technicians is guaranteed for many years to come, because of the substantial increase in the technology industry and the very large skills gap still in existence.
