Computer and network support technicians are constantly sought after in Great Britain, as organisations are becoming more reliant upon their knowledge and skills. Whereupon our society becomes growingly beholden to our PC's, we simultaneously inevitably become more reliant on the commercially qualified network engineers, who maintain those systems.
Some commercial training providers only give office hours or extended office hours support; most won't answer after 8-9pm at the latest and frequently never at the weekends.
Look for training with proper support available at all hours of the day and night (irrespective of whether it's the wee hours on Sunday morning!) Ensure you get direct access to tutors, and not simply some messaging service that means you're constantly waiting for a call-back during office hours.
The very best programs opt for an online access 24x7 package combining multiple support operations over many time-zones. You will be provided with a single, easy-to-use interface that accesses the most appropriate office any time of the day or night: Support when it's needed.
Always pick a trainer that cares. Only true live 24x7 support provides the necessary backup.
People attracted to this sort of work are often very practical, and won't enjoy sitting at a desk in class, and slogging through piles of books. If this could be you, go for more modern interactive training, where you can learn everything on-screen.
Our ability to remember is increased with an involvement of all our senses - educational experts have expounded on this for decades now.
Learning is now available on CD and DVD discs, so everything is learned directly from your own PC. Utilising the latest video technology, you will be able to see the instructor presenting exactly how something is done, and then have a go at it yourself - via the interactive virtual lab's.
It's very important to see the type of training provided by any company that you may want to train through. Be sure that they contain instructor-led video demonstrations with virtual practice-lab's.
Many companies provide training that is purely available online; and although this is okay the majority of the time, think what will happen if your access to the internet is broken or you get a slow connection speed. It is usually safer to have DVD or CD discs that don't suffer from these broadband issues.
A capable and professional advisor (as opposed to a salesman) will ask questions and seek to comprehend your current level of ability and experience. There is no other way of understanding your study start-point.
Often, the training start-point for a person with a little experience can be massively different to the student with none.
Consider starting with some basic Microsoft package and Windows skills first. Beginning there can make the learning curve a much more gentle.
Only consider study programs that lead to commercially acknowledged accreditations. There's a plethora of small companies promoting unknown 'in-house' certificates which will prove unusable when it comes to finding a job.
The top IT companies such as Microsoft, CompTIA, Adobe or Cisco each have globally approved skills programs. These heavyweights will ensure your employability.
