If it’s Cisco training you’re after, but you’ve not yet worked with routers or switches, you should initially attempt a CCNA course. This teaches you the necessary skills to set up and maintain routers. The world wide web is built up of many routers, and large companies with several different sites also need routers to allow their networks to keep in touch.

The kind of jobs requiring this kind of skill mean it’s likely you’ll end up working for huge organisations who have many locations but need their computer networks to talk to each other. Or, you may go on to joining an internet service provider. Jobs requiring these skills are plentiful and well remunerated.

Getting your Cisco CCNA is where you need to be aiming – you’re not ready for your CCNP for now. Once you’ve got a few years experience behind you, you can choose if it’s relevant for you to have this next level up. If it is, you’ll be in a best position to pass then – because you’ll have so much more experience.

Getting your initially commercial position can be a small simpler with a Job Placement Help facility. But don’t place too much emphasis on it – it isn’t unusual for keen sales people to make too much of it. The fact of the matter is, the massive skills shortage in Britain is what will make you striking to employers.

Ideally you should have help with your CV and interview techniques though; and we’d recommend all to work on polishing up their CV the day they start training – don’t place it off until you’ve graduated or passed any exams.

It’s possible that you won’t have even passed your initially exam when you will be offered your initially junior support role; but this won’t be the case except your CV is with employers.

Normally you’ll get best results from a specialised and independent local recruitment service than you will through a course provider’s employment division, as they’ll know the area best.

A huge aggravation of many course providers is how hard people are prepared to work to become certified, but how un-prepared they are to work on getting the position they have trained for. Don’t give up when the best is yet to come.

Now, why is it best to gain qualifications from the commercial sector rather than more traditional academic qualifications gained through schools and Further Education colleges?

The IT sector is of the attitude that for an understanding of the relevant skills, the right accreditation supplied for example by Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA most often has much more specialised relevance – for much less time and money.

Of course, an appropriate part of relevant additional detail must be learned, but focused specialisation in the required areas gives a commercially trained student a distinct benefit.

Place yourself in the employer’s position – and you wanted someone who could provide a specific set of skills. What should you do: Wade your way through a mass of different academic qualifications from hopeful applicants, having to question what each has covered and which commercial skills they have, or choose a specific set of accreditations that specifically match what you’re looking for, and make your small-list from that. Your interviews are then about personal suitability – rather than establishing whether they can do a specific task.

An effectual training program will also offer fully authorised exam simulation and preparation packages.

Ensure that the practice exams aren’t just asking you the right questions on the right subjects, but question them in the same way that the proper exam will question them. It can really throw some people if the questions are phrased in unfamiliar formats.

As you can imagine, it is really vital to know that you are completely prepared for the real exam prior to doing it. Going over simulated tests logs the information in your brain and saves you time and money on failed exams.

An vital area that is sometimes not even considered by potential students considering a training program is that of ‘training segmentation’. This is essentially how the program is broken down into parts for delivery to you, which can make a dramatic difference to where you end up.

Usually, you will join a program staged over 2 or 3 years and get posted one section at a time – from one exam to the next. This sounds logical on one level, until you consider this:

What if for some reason you don’t get to the end of every single section? What if you don’t find their peacefulness of learning is ideal for you? Because of nothing that’s your fault, you may go a small slower and consequently not get all your materials.

For future protection and flexibility, it’s normal for most trainees to make sure that every element of their training is sent immediately, and not in a piecemeal fashion. You can then choose how quick or slow and in what peacefulness you want to end things.
