If you want Cisco training, a CCNA is in all probability what you'll need. Training in Cisco is the way to go for those who need to know all about routers and switches. Routers connect computer networks to different computer networks via dedicated lines or the internet. It's vital that you already know a good deal about how computer networks operate and function, as networks are connected to routers. Otherwise, you'll probably struggle. You might first take a course in basic networking skills (CompTIA Network+ as an example - maybe with the A+ as well) before you start a CCNA course. Look for a training provider that can offer this as a career package. If routers are a new thing for you, then studying up to CCNA is all you'll be able to cope with - avoid being talked into doing a CCNP. Once you've worked for a few years, you'll know if it's appropriate for you to go to the level of CCNP. Finding job security nowadays is incredibly rare. Businesses will drop us out of the workforce at a moment's notice - as long as it fits their needs. Where there are escalating skills deficits and increasing demand though, we generally discover a fresh type of security in the marketplace; where, fuelled by the constant growth conditions, businesses find it hard to locate the staff required. Reviewing the Information Technology (IT) business, the 2006 e-Skills analysis brought to light a twenty six percent shortage in trained professionals. Alternatively, you could say, this reveals that the United Kingdom is only able to source three qualified staff for every four jobs that are available now. Achieving proper commercial IT accreditation is consequently a 'Fast Track' to realise a continuing as well as gratifying livelihood. In reality, retraining in Information Technology over the next year or two is very likely the safest choice of careers you could make. Getting your first commercial position is often made easier with a Job Placement Assistance service. Often, this feature is bigged up too much, for it's relatively easy for any focused and well taught person to land a job in this industry - as employers are keen to find appropriately trained staff. Having said that, it's important to have help with your CV and interview techniques though; additionally, we would recommend everybody to get their CV updated as soon as they start a course - don't put it off until you've qualified. It's not uncommon to find that junior support jobs have been offered to students who're still on their course and have yet to take their exams. At least this will get your CV into the 'possible' pile and not the 'no' pile. Actually, an independent and specialised local employment service (who will get paid by the employer when they've placed you) will perform better than any centralised training company's service. It also stands to reason that they'll be familiar with the local industry and employment needs. To bottom line it, as long as you focus the same level of energy into finding your first IT position as into training, you won't have any problems. Some students curiously spend hundreds of hours on their training and studies and do nothing more once they've got certified and would appear to think that businesses will just discover them. At the top of your shopping list for a training program should be proper direct-access 24x7 support with trained professional instructors and mentors. Far too often we see trainers who will only offer a basic 9am till 6pm support period (maybe later on certain days) with very little availability over the weekend. Email support is too slow, and so-called telephone support is normally just routed to a call-centre which will just take down the issue and email it over to their technical team - who will call back over the next day or so (assuming you're there), at a time suitable for them. This isn't a lot of good if you're stuck and can't continue and only have a specific time you can study. World-class organisations utilise an online 24x7 package involving many support centres over many time-zones. You're offered a single, easy-to-use interface which switches seamlessly to the best choice of centres irrespective of the time of day: Support when you need it. Never make do with less than this. Support round-the-clock is the only viable option for technical learning. Perhaps you don't intend to study during the evenings; often though, we're out at work at the time when most support is available. Considering the amount of options that are available, does it really shock us that most potential career changers get stuck choosing the job they will enjoy. How likely is it for us to understand what is involved in a particular job when we haven't done that before? Most likely we don't even know anybody who does that actual job anyway. To get to the bottom of this, a discussion is necessary, covering a variety of core topics: * Your personality can play a major role - what kind of areas spark your interest, and what are the things that get you down. * What length of time can you allocate for the training process? * What priority do you place on salary vs the travel required? * Learning what the main Information technology areas and markets are - and what makes them different. * You need to understand what differentiates the myriad of training options. When all is said and done, the only real way of checking this all out is via an in-depth discussion with an experienced advisor who understands the market well enough to lead you to the correct decision.
