Because you're doing your research on MCSE courses, you'll probably be in 1 of 2 situations: You might be wondering about a dynamic move to get into the IT field, and all evidence points to a huge demand for qualified people. Alternatively you could already be in IT - and you want to enhance your CV with a qualification such as MCSE.
During your research, you'll come across companies that lower their out-goings by failing to provide the latest version from Microsoft. Avoid these companies as you'll experience challenges at exam time. If you're learning from the wrong version, it is going to be hugely difficult to get qualified.
A company's mission statement must be based upon doing the very best they can for their clients, and they should be passionate about getting things right. Studying isn't just about the certification - the procedure must also be geared towards helping you work out the most suitable route for you.
Some commercial training providers will only provide support to you inside of office hours (typically 9am-6pm) and sometimes a little earlier or later; It's rare to find someone who offers late evening or full weekend cover.
some companies only provide email support (slow), and so-called telephone support is normally just routed to a call-centre which will take the information and email an instructor - who will attempt to call you within 24-48 hrs, when it suits them. This is all next to useless if you're sitting there confused over an issue and only have a specific time you can study.
The best training colleges provide a web-based round-the-clock system pulling in several support offices across the globe. You will have a single, easy-to-use interface that seamlessly selects the best facility available at any time of day or night: Support when you need it.
Never make do with less than this. Direct-access round-the-clock support is the only way to go when it comes to IT training. Maybe burning the midnight-oil is not your thing; often though, we're working at the time when most support is available.
It can be a nerve-racking task, but finding your first role in IT is often eased by training colleges, through a Job Placement Assistance facility. Sometimes, there is more emphasis than is necessary on this service, for it is actually not that hard for any motivated and trained individual to find work in the IT industry - because there's a great need for skilled employees.
Update your CV at the beginning of your training though (advice and support for this should come from your course provider). Don't put it off until you've qualified.
Getting your CV considered is more than not being regarded at all. Often junior jobs are got by students (sometimes when they've only just got going.)
If you'd like to keep travelling time and costs to a minimum, then you'll probably find that a local IT focused recruitment consultancy could be more appropriate than a centralised service, due to the fact that they're going to be familiar with what's available near you.
To bottom line it, as long as you put the same commitment into getting a position as into studying, you won't have any problems. Some men and women curiously spend hundreds of hours on their training course and then just stop once they've passed their exams and would appear to think that businesses will just discover them.
If you're like many of the students we talk to then you probably enjoy fairly practical work - the 'hands-on' individual. If you're anything like us, the world of book-reading and classrooms can be just about bared when essential, but it's not really your thing. You should use video and multimedia based materials if books just don't do it for you.
We see a huge improvement in memory retention when we use multiple senses - this has been an accepted fact in expert circles for many years.
Search for a course where you'll receive a selection of CD and DVD based materials - you'll be learning from instructor videos and demo's, with the facility to fine-tune your skills in fully interactive practice sessions.
You must ensure that you see the type of training provided by the company you're considering. Be sure that they contain full motion videos of instructors demonstrating the topic with lab's to practice the skills in.
Opt for CD and DVD ROM based physical training media whenever you can. You're then protected from the variability of broadband quality and service.
The best type of training package should have Microsoft (or key company) exam preparation systems.
Don't go for training programs depending on unofficial exam preparation systems. The way they're phrased is sometimes startlingly different - and sometimes this can be a real headache once in the actual exam.
Mock exams are enormously valuable as a tool for logging knowledge into your brain - so when it comes to taking the real thing, you don't get phased.
