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 try to find out more, you’ll come across training companies that short-change you by not upgrading their courses to the current Microsoft version. Avoid these companies as you’ll have problems with the present exams. If you are studying the wrong version, it is going to be hugely difficult to get qualified.

Watch out for training colleges who are just trying to sell you something. Always remember that purchasing a course to qualify for an MCSE is much like purchasing a vehicle. They’re not all the same; some are comfortable and reliable, whilst some will be completely unreliable. A conscientious organisation will spend time understanding your needs to be sure the course will work for you. When providers are proud of their courses, they’ll show you examples of it prior to registering.

Of all the important things to consider, one of the most essential is always proper direct-access 24×7 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.

Find a good quality service where you can access help at any time you choose (even 1am on Sunday morning!) Make sure it’s always 24×7 direct access to mentors and instructors, and not a message system as this will slow you down – parked in a queue of others waiting to be called back at a convenient time for them.

Keep looking and you’ll come across professional training packages that give students direct-access support at all times – no matter what time of day it is.

Never make do with anything less. Direct-access round-the-clock support is really your only option when it comes to computer-based training. Perhaps you don’t intend to study during the evenings; usually though, we’re out at work while the support is live.

Traditional teaching in classrooms, utilising reference manuals and books, is usually pretty hard going. If this describes you, check out study materials that are on-screen and interactive.

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.

You must ensure that you see some example materials from the company you’re considering. It’s essential they incorporate instructor-led video demonstrations with virtual practice-lab’s.

Some companies only have access to purely on-line training; while you can get away with this much of the time, consider what happens if you lose your internet access or you get slow speeds and down-time etc. It’s preferable to have actual CD or DVD ROMs that will solve that problem.

Ask almost any knowledgeable advisor and we’d be amazed if they couldn’t provide you with many worrying experiences of salespeople ripping-off unsuspecting students. Ensure you only ever work with an experienced industry professional who asks some in-depth questions to find out what’s appropriate to you – not for their pay-packet! You need to find the right starting point of study for you.

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.

A ridiculously large number of organisations only concern themselves with gaining a certificate, and avoid focusing on why you’re doing this – getting yourself a new job or career. Always start with the end goal – don’t make the journey more important than where you want to get to.

Don’t let yourself become one of the unfortunate masses that choose a course which looks like it could be fun – only to end up with a qualification for a career they’ll never really get any satisfaction from.

Get to grips with what you want to earn and what level of ambition fits you. This can often control which precise accreditations you will need and what’ll be expected of you in your new role.

It’s worth seeking guidance from someone who knows the commercial realities of the market you’re considering, and who can offer ‘A day in the life of’ type of explanation for that career-path. This really is very important as you’ll need to fully understand if you’re going down the right road.
