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 Overall, this will cost the student a great deal more due to the fact that they've been educated in an out-of-date syllabus which will have to be revised very quickly.
Avoid making a hasty decision when buying a course before having all your questions answered. Take time to discover a training provider who will ensure you are on an appropriate training track for you.
Of all the important things to consider, one of the most essential is always proper direct-access 24x7 support from dedicated instructors and mentors. It's an all too common story to find providers that only seem to want to help while they're in the office (9am till 6pm, Monday till Friday usually) and nothing at the weekends.
You'll be waiting ages for an answer with email based support, and telephone support is usually to a call-centre who will take the information and email an instructor - who will then call back sometime over the next 24hrs, when it suits them. This is no use if you're stuck with a particular problem and only have a specific time you can study.
World-class organisations tend to use an online 24 hours-a-day system pulling in several support offices across the globe. You will have an interface which switches seamlessly to the best choice of centres any time of the day or night: Support when you need it.
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.
We can guess that you've always enjoyed practical work - the 'hands-on' person. If you're anything like us, the world of book-reading and classrooms is something you'll force on yourself if you absolutely have to, but it doesn't suit your way of doing things. Consider interactive, multimedia study if books just don't do it for you.
Learning psychology studies show that memory is aided when all our senses are involved, and we take action to use what we've learned.
The latest home-based training features easy-to-use DVD or CD ROM's. By watching and listening to instructors on video tutorials you'll absorb the modules, one by one, via the demonstrations and explanations. Then it's time to test your knowledge by interacting with the software and practicing yourself.
Any company that you're considering should willingly take you through some simple examples of their courseware. You're looking for evidence of tutorial videos and demonstrations and interactive areas to practice in.
It doesn't make sense to go for purely on-line training. Because of the variable quality and reliability of the ISP (internet service provider) market, ensure that you have access to CD or DVD ROM based materials.
If your advisor doesn't question you thoroughly - it's likely they're actually nothing more than a salesman. If they wade straight in with a specific product before understanding your background and whether you have any commercial experience, then it's very likely to be the case.
If you've got a strong background, or perhaps a bit of work-based experience (maybe some existing accreditation?) then it's more than likely your starting level will be different from someone with no background whatsoever.
If you're a new trainee starting IT studies and exams from scratch, it can be useful to ease in gradually, beginning with some basic PC skills training first. This can be built into most accreditation programs.
Of course: a training course or an accreditation is not the ultimate goal; a job you're training for is. A lot of colleges seem to over-emphasise the qualification itself.
It's possible, in many cases, to get a great deal of enjoyment from a year of study and then find yourself trapped for decades in something completely unrewarding, entirely because you stumbled into it without the correct research when you should've - at the outset.
Never let your focus stray from where you want to go, and formulate your training based on that - not the other way round. Stay focused on the end-goal - making sure you're training for something you'll enjoy for years to come.
Talk to an experienced industry professional who has a background in the industry you're considering, and who'll explain to you a detailed run-down of what to expect in that role. Getting to the bottom of all this before commencement of any training path will prevent a lot of wasted time and effort.
