It’s really great that you’ve already got this far! Only one in ten folks are happy and satisfied by their jobs, but vast numbers just go off on one from time to time and nothing happens. By looking for this we can guess that you’ve a personal interest in re-training, so even now you’re ahead of the game. Now you just need to research and follow-through.
We’d strongly advise that in advance of taking any individual training program, you have a conversation with someone who can see the bigger picture and can give you advice. Such a person will go through personality profiling with you and assist in finding the right role for you:
* Are you hoping to be involved with others in the workplace? Is that as part of a team or with a lot of new people? Maybe working on your own in isolation could suit you better?
* Which criteria’s are important to you regarding the industry you hope to work in?
* Should this be the last time you will need more qualifications?
* Are you worried about your chances of getting new work, and being gainfully employed to the end of your working life?
Pay attention to the IT industry, that’s our best advice – you’ll find it’s one of the only market sectors still on the grow in the UK and Europe. And the salaries are much higher than most. Try Find Out More for excellent tips.
It’s quite a normal occurrence for students not to check on a painfully important area – the way the company segments the courseware, and into what particular chunks. Most companies will sell you a program spread over 1-3 years, and drop-ship the materials to you piecemeal as you finish each section. On the surface this seems reasonable – until you consider the following: What could you expect if you didn’t actually complete all the exams at the required speed? And maybe you’ll find their order of completion won’t fit you as well as some other structure would for you.
In a perfect world, you want ALL the study materials up-front – giving you them all to return to any point – as and when you want. Variations can then be made to the order that you move through the program if you find another route more intuitive.
Students hoping to kick off a career in IT often aren’t sure what direction to follow, or even which sector to obtain accreditation for. Flicking through long lists of different and confusing job titles is just a waste of time. Surely, most of us have no concept what our good friends do at work – so what chance do we have in understanding the intricacies of any specific IT role. To work through this, a discussion is necessary, covering a number of unique issues:
* What hobbies you’re involved with in your spare-time – these can define what areas will provide a happy working life.
* Do you want to obtain training because of a specific motive – i.e. are you looking at working based from home (maybe self-employment?)?
* Is your income higher on your priority-list than anything else.
* Getting to grips with what typical IT types and markets are – and what differentiates them.
* What effort, commitment and time you’ll have available to set aside for getting qualified.
For most of us, getting to the bottom of so much data requires a good chat with a professional that knows what they’re talking about. And we’re not only talking about the accreditations – but the commercial expectations and needs of industry too.
