As you're considering studying for the MCSE certificate, it's likely you'll come into one of two categories. You could be about to enter the computer sector, and you've found the industry has many opportunities for qualified people. Or you could be already a professional attempting to consolidate your skill-set with a qualification such as MCSE.
As you discover more about training colleges, don't use any that short-change you by not upgrading their courses to the latest version from Microsoft. Overall, this will cost the student a great deal more due to the fact that they've been educated in an out-of-date syllabus which will have to be revised very quickly.
Training companies must be dedicated to discovering the ultimate program for their students. Educational direction is equally concerned with guiding people on establishing where to go, as it is giving them help to reach their destination.
Most trainers 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.
Find a good quality service where you can access help at any time you choose (even 1am on Sunday morning!) Make sure it's always 24x7 direct access to mentors and instructors, and not a message system as this will slow you down - parked in a queue of others waiting to be called back at a convenient time for them.
We recommend that you search for training schools that use several support centres around the globe in several time-zones. These should be integrated to provide a single interface and round-the-clock access, when it's convenient for you, with no hassle.
Never make the mistake of compromise when you're looking for the right support service. Most would-be IT professionals that can't get going properly, just need the right support system.
People attracted to this sort of work are usually quite practically-minded, and don't always take well to classrooms, and struggling through thick study-volumes. If this is putting you off studying, go for more modern interactive training, where everything is presented via full motion video.
Our ability to remember is increased with an involvement of all our senses - educational experts have expounded on this for many years.
Find a course where you'll get a host of DVD-ROM's - you'll learn by watching video tutorials and demonstrations, and then have the opportunity to hone your abilities through virtual lab's.
You'll definitely want a demonstration of the study materials from your training provider. You should ask for demo's from instructors, slideshows and fully interactive skills-lab's.
Go for actual CD or DVD ROM's every time. You're then protected from the variability of broadband quality and service.
Ask almost any knowledgeable advisor and we'd be amazed if they couldn't provide you with many worrying experiences of salespeople ripping-off unsuspecting students. Ensure you only ever work with an experienced industry professional who asks some in-depth questions to find out what's appropriate to you - not for their pay-packet! You need to find the right starting point of study for you.
With some work-based experience or qualifications, it may be that your starting point of study is not the same as someone new to the industry.
It's wise to consider some basic PC skills training first. This can help whip your basic knowledge into shape and make your learning curve a little less steep.
Don't get hung-up, as many people do, on the training course itself. Your training isn't about getting a plaque on your wall; this is about employment. Focus on the end-goal.
It's a sad fact, but a great many students commence training that sounds spectacular from the sales literature, but which provides the end-result of a job that is of no interest. Talk to many college leavers to see what we mean.
You'll want to understand the expectations of your industry. What particular exams they'll want you to gain and how to gain experience. It's definitely worth spending time assessing how far you'd like to progress your career as it will present a very specific set of accreditations.
Take guidance from a skilled advisor, irrespective of whether you have to pay - it's usually much cheaper and safer to discover early on if you've chosen correctly, rather than find out following two years of study that you aren't going to enjoy the job you've chosen and now need to go back to square one.
