If you've aspirations to be a professional web designer and have the most recognised qualification for today's employment market, you should find training in Adobe Dreamweaver.
The full Adobe Web Creative Suite ought also to be studied in-depth. Doing this will familiarise you in Action Script and Flash, amongst others, and means you'll be in a position to take your Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) or Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) accreditation.
Designing a website is just the start of the skills needed by professional web masters today. It's a good idea to find a course that includes important features like PHP, HTML and MySQL in order to know how to create traffic, maintain content and work with dynamic database-driven web-sites.
Adding in the cost of examinations as an inclusive element of the package price then including an exam guarantee is common for a good many training companies. Consider the facts:
You'll be charged for it somehow. One thing's for sure - it isn't free - it's simply been shoe-horned into the price as a whole.
Should you seriously need to qualify first 'go', you must fund each exam as you take it, give it the necessary attention and be ready for the task.
Why should you pay your training college at the start of the course for examination fees? Hold on to your money and pay for the exam when you're ready, instead of paying a premium - and do it locally - not at somewhere of their bidding.
Considerable numbers of so-called credible training colleges net a great deal of profit by charging for exam fees early and hoping you won't see them all through.
It's also worth noting that exam guarantees often have very little value. Most companies will not pay again for an exam until you can prove to them you're ready to pass.
Average exam fees were around the 112 pounds mark in the last 12 months via Prometric or VUE centres around the United Kingdom. So why pay hundreds or thousands of pounds extra to get 'Exam Guarantees', when any student knows that the best guarantee is study, commitment and preparing with good quality mock and practice exams.
You should look for accredited simulation materials and an exam preparation system included in the package you choose.
Ensure that the simulated exams are not just posing the correct questions from the right areas, but additionally ask them in the way that the actual final exam will structure them. This throws students if they're faced with unrecognisable phrases and formats.
Ensure that you request some practice exams that will allow you to test your comprehension at all times. Simulated or practice exams add to your knowledge bank - so the actual exam is much easier.
Beware of putting too much emphasis, like so many people do, on the accreditation program. Your training isn't about getting a plaque on your wall; this is about employment. Begin and continue with the end in mind.
It's common, in many cases, to obtain tremendous satisfaction from a year of studying but end up spending 10 or 20 years in a tiresome job role, as an upshot of not doing the correct level of soul-searching at the outset.
Get to grips with the income level you aspire to and the level of your ambition. This will influence which accreditations will be expected and what industry will expect from you in return.
Our recommendation would be to seek guidance and advice from an experienced professional before making your final decision on a learning program, so there's little doubt that a program provides the appropriate skill-set.
If an advisor doesn't ask you a lot of questions - it's more than likely they're really a salesperson. If someone pushes specific products before learning about your history and experience, then it's very likely to be the case.
If you have a strong background, or sometimes a little commercial experience (some certifications gained previously perhaps?) then it could be that your starting point will be different from a student that is completely new to the industry.
For students starting IT studies and exams for the first time, it can be useful to ease in gradually, kicking off with a user-skills course first. This can easily be incorporated into most training programs.
