The area most overlooked by potential students considering a training program is that of 'training segmentation'. This basically means how the program is broken down into parts for timed release to you, which completely controls the point you end up at. Normally, you'll enrol on a course that takes between and 1 and 3 years and get sent one module each time you pass an exam. While this may sound logical on one level, consider this: Maybe the order of study offered by the provider doesn't suit. What if you find it hard to complete all the modules at the speed required?

The very best situation would see you getting all your study materials couriered to your home before you even start; the complete package! Thus avoiding any future problems that could impede the reaching of your goals.

Several companies supply a practical Job Placement Assistance program, to help you into your first commercial role. With the massive need for more IT skills in this country even when times are hard, there's no need to make too much of this option though. It really won't be that difficult to secure employment as long as you've got the necessary skills and qualifications.

Help and assistance with preparing a CV and getting interviews may be available (if not, see one of our sites for help). Make sure you work on your old CV immediately - don't wait until you've finished your exams! A good number of junior support roles have been bagged by trainees who're still on their course and have yet to take their exams. At the very least this will get your CV into the 'possible' pile and not the 'no' pile. Actually, a local IT focused recruitment consultancy (who will, of course, be keen to place you to receive their commission) is going to give you a better service than a sector of a centralised training facility. Also of course they should know the area and local employers better.

Do be sure that you don't spend hundreds of hours on your training and studies, and then do nothing more and imagine someone else is miraculously going to land you a job. Stop procrastinating and get on with the job. Put the same resource into securing the right position as you did to get trained.

There is an increasing movement to network based & internet-based software now, as the world moves closer towards the concept of Cloud computing. So what this means is all of your files are stored remotely, so you're able to access them wherever you happen to be. All the procedures are done elsewhere - right down to the raw processing. At some point the only requirement will be that you need to have a very basic terminal plugged into the network (or of course wirelessly connected to it).
