Everybody is busy these days, and usually should we decide to learn a new profession, taking a course alongside a job is the only option open to us. Certified training from Microsoft can be the way to do it. In addition, you may want to have a discussion on the types of jobs to be had when you've finished studying, and which personalities such positions would appeal to. Lots of people feel happier if they can be advised on what would be best for them. Make sure your training is matched to your ability level and skills. The best companies will always guarantee that your training track is purpose built for the status you wish to achieve.

Of course: the training course or a qualification is not what you're looking for; the career that you want to end up in is. A lot of colleges seem to place too much importance on the qualification itself. You could be training for only a year and end up performing the job-role for decades. Don't make the error of opting for what may seem to be a program of interest to you and then put 10-20 years into a job you don't like!

Never let your focus stray from what you want to achieve, and then build your training requirements around that - don't do it the other way round. Keep your eyes on your goals and begin studying for an end-result you'll enjoy for years to come. We'd recommend you take guidance from a professional advisor before you begin a study course, so there's no doubt that the specific package will give the appropriate skill-set.

A capable and specialised advisor (in direct contrast to a salesman) will cover in some detail your abilities and experience. This is useful for calculating your starting point for training. Quite often, the training inception point for a person with some experience will be hugely dissimilar to the student with no experience. For those students embarking on IT studies from scratch, it's often a good idea to ease in gradually, by working on some basic PC skills training first. This can be built into most types of training.

One useful service that many training companies provide is a programme of Job Placement assistance. The service is put in place to assist your search for your first position. At the end of the day it isn't a complex operation to secure your first job - as long as you're correctly trained and certified; employers in this country need your skills.

Update your CV at the beginning of your training though - you should get plenty of help from your training provider on this. Don't delay until you've qualified. Getting your CV considered is far better than not even being known about. A decent number of junior support jobs are got by trainees (sometimes when they've only just got going.) The most reliable organisations to help you find a job are generally specialised and independent recruitment consultants. As they will get paid by the employer when they've placed you, they're perhaps more focused on results.

Just ensure you don't put hundreds of hours of effort into your studies, and then just stop and expect somebody else to sort out your employment. Get off your backside and make your own enquiries. Channel as much energy and enthusiasm into landing a good job as it took to pass the exams.

A study programme has to build towards a fully recognised major exam as an end-result - not some little 'in-house' piece of paper. From the perspective of an employer, only top businesses such as Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco or Adobe (as an example) will make the right impression. Nothing else hits the mark.
