Ok,Computer Schools: Who the Heck Needs Computer Training? Articles that might be a little far fetched. In this day and age you can barely function without access to a computer system or some computer. This is especially true in business. Imagine a day without email in communicating with friends, families, and colleges. Let’s face it, we need computers and they are here to stay. There are computer schools for all types. These schools include computer programming, computer application training, computer networking, and basic computer skills training. In this article we are going to review the advantages of each depending on what type of computer training you might need.

In this day and age computer programmers are in high demand. Computers need software to be useful and the internet will continue to expand which will require more and more online programs. With this need comes demand for skilled computer programmers trained in today’s programming languages. If you are already a computer professional, you may want to consider attending one of many online computer programming schools. A good source to find these schools I found online is http://www.computer-schools.us/Computer-Training-Online.htm

If you are new to the computer profession, I would recommend you get a good solid base first. You can attend a local technical college which will cover computer 101 type material. Then, you can proceed and become the computer programming ninja and make big bucks. Rest assured, skilled computer programmers will continue to be in high demand. You might not be considering a career in computers, but have a need to enhance your current computer skills. Perhaps you are a novice and Microsoft Word or Excel and need to improve your skills to get that next promotion. More and more employers look at basic computer skills as a commodity. Even typing is not optional. Productivity in this day and age requires that you can operate Windows or MAC Operating systems and can at least check email and create business documents.

There are several great application specific computer training schools. I would first check out http://www.newhorizons.com I would even ask your employer if they would foot the bill. Many employers realize that you becoming more productive is a huge asset for them. One other option is to find a specific application your organization leverages and take advanced courses on that. You could become a subject matter expert on a very specific peace of software and guarantee yourself job security and solid pay increases. Businesses always need skilled computer experts at every level.

If programming isn’t your cake, you might be interested in computer networking. This is also a popular field as computer networks continue to evolve and expand. Almost everything is online in some capacity. By specializing in the “pipes� or networks that connect systems together you will be in high demand. A good start is to look at the Cisco Certified Network Associate training. This will give you a good solid foundation in networking and will also give you a certificate that is very employable. Another option to consider is your local technical college. Take a look at your options and make sure that you specialize in the networking field to get the most bang for you buck. You can’t lose with Cisco certification.

For those looking for the basic computer skills training, first you need to get your hands on a computer you can use at home. There is no substitution for just working on a computer hands on. I would recommend starting with a solid typing course then expand your knowledge from there if you haven’t already. Get the basic software loaded like Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook and start playing with document creation, edits etc. If you are a self starter an online computer school might be a great choice for you. Start with an online course at your local community college and expand from there.

In conclusion, you will be left behind if you don’t have computer skills in this day and age. Don’t get left behind and continue to evolve with the technologies as they expand. Build yourself a solid base of knowledge and continue to “sharpen the saw� with computer training. This is an asset and an investment in your future and should be considered as such.

To Success!
