The CCNA is the way to go for training in Cisco. This teaches you how to work on maintaining and installing routers and network switches. Fundamentally, the internet is based upon huge numbers of routers, and commercial ventures who have several locations utilise them to allow their networks to keep in touch.

Getting this certification means you’ll probably end up working for large commercial ventures who have many locations, but need their computer networks to talk to each other. Alternatively, you may find yourself employed by an internet service provider. Both types of jobs command good salaries.

Achieving CCNA is the right level to aim for; at this stage avoid being tempted to do the CCNP. With experience, you’ll know if it’s relevant for you to have this next level up. If you decide to become more qualified, your experience will serve as the background you need to tackle the CCNP – as it’s a very complex course – and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Make sure that all your certifications are current and also valid commercially – don’t bother with programs that only give in-house certificates.

From the perspective of an employer, only the top companies like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA (for instance) really carry any commercial clout. Anything less just doesn’t cut the mustard.

Commencing with the understanding that we need to find the market that sounds most inviting first, before we’re able to weigh up what development program meets that requirement, how can we choose the correct route?

What is our likelihood of grasping the many facets of a particular career when we’ve never done it? Maybe we have never met anyone who performs the role either.

To attack this, we need to discuss a number of core topics:

* Personality plays an important role – what gets you ‘up and running’, and what are the activities that really turn you off.

* Why you’re looking at getting involved with computing – maybe you’d like to achieve a life-long goal like being your own boss for example.

* The income requirements that guide you?

* Many students don’t properly consider the level of commitment involved to attain their desired level.

* You have to understand what differentiates each individual training area.

In actuality, you’ll find the only real way to research these matters tends to be through a good talk with an experienced advisor that has years of experience in the IT industry (and specifically it’s commercial needs.)

Have a conversation with a proficient advisor and they’ll regale you with many terrible tales of how students have been duped by salespeople. Only deal with an experienced industry advisor who asks some in-depth questions to find out what’s appropriate to you – not for their pay-packet! You must establish the right starting point of study for you.

If you have a strong background, or maybe some live experience (some certifications gained previously perhaps?) then obviously your starting level will be quite dissimilar from a student that is completely new to the industry.

Working through a basic PC skills module first will sometimes be the most effective way to start into your computer program, depending on your current skill level.

A sneaky way that training providers make more money is by adding exam fees upfront to the cost of a course and presenting it as a guarantee for your exams. This sounds impressive, but is it really:

Certainly it’s not free – you’re still being charged for it – the price has simply been included in the whole thing.

If it’s important to you to get a first time pass, you must fund each exam as you take it, prioritise it appropriately and apply yourself as required.

Why should you pay the college early for examinations? Find the best deal you can at the appropriate time, rather than coughing up months or even a year or two in advance – and take it closer to home – rather than in some remote place.

Why borrow the money or pay in advance (plus interest of course) on examinations when you don’t need to? Big margins are made by companies getting paid upfront for exams – and hoping either that you won’t take them, or it will be a long time before you do.

The majority of organisations will insist that you take mock exams first and prohibit you from re-taking an exam until you’ve completely proven that you’re likely to pass – so an ‘Exam Guarantee’ comes with many clauses in reality.

Exams taken at local centres are in the region of 112 pounds in Britain at the time of writing. Why pay exorbitant ‘Exam Guarantee’ fees (most often hidden in the package) – when the best course materials, the right level of support and study, commitment and preparing with good quality mock and practice exams is what will really guarantee success.
