Cisco Training Courses Revealed
If Cisco training is your aspiration, and you’ve not yet worked with routers or network switches, you should first attempt CCNA certification. This will provide you with knowledge and skills to work with routers. The internet is made up of hundreds of thousands of routers, and large commercial ventures with many locations also need routers to allow their networks to keep in touch.
The kind of jobs requiring this knowledge mean the chances are you’ll work for national or international companies that are spread out geographically but need their computer networks to talk to each other. Or, you may move on to joining an internet service provider. Both types of jobs command good salaries.
Getting your Cisco CCNA is perfectly sufficient to start with; don’t be cajoled into attempting your CCNP. Once you’ve got a few years experience behind you, you will have a feel for whether you need to train up to this level. If so, your experience will serve as the background you require to take on your CCNP – which is quite a hard qualification to acquire – and mustn’t be entered into casually.
One thing you must always insist on is 24×7 round-the-clock support with trained professional instructors and mentors. Too many companies only seem to want to help while they’re in the office (9am till 6pm, Monday till Friday usually) and nothing at the weekends.
Look for training where you can access help at all hours of the day and night (irrespective of whether it’s the wee hours on Sunday morning!) Ensure you get 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.
The very best programs opt for a web-based round-the-clock system utilising a variety of support centres over many time-zones. You will have an environment which switches seamlessly to the best choice of centres any time of the day or night: Support when it’s needed.
Always choose a training company that gives this level of learning support. As only round-the-clock 24×7 support gives you the confidence to make it.
Considering the amount of options that are available, there’s no surprise that nearly all newcomers to the industry get stuck choosing the job they will follow.
Perusing a list of odd-sounding and meaningless job titles is no use whatsoever. The vast majority of us have no concept what our own family members do for a living – let alone understand the subtleties of any specific IT role.
Arriving at a well-informed resolution really only appears from a methodical analysis of several shifting key points:
* The type of personality you have and interests – which work-centred jobs you love or hate.
* Is it your desire to achieve an important dream – like becoming self-employed someday?
* Is salary further up on your list of priorities than anything else.
* Because there are so many different sectors to gain certifications for in the IT industry – you will have to gain a basic understanding of what separates them.
* Taking a cold, hard look at the level of commitment, time and effort you can give.
When all is said and done, the only real way of understanding everything necessary is by means of a long chat with an experienced advisor that has enough background to give you the information required.
A question; why should we consider commercial qualifications as opposed to traditional academic qualifications gained through schools, colleges or universities?
As we require increasingly more effective technological know-how, the IT sector has moved to the specialised core-skills learning only available through the vendors themselves – in other words companies such as Microsoft, CISCO, Adobe and CompTIA. This frequently provides reductions in both cost and time.
Essentially, only required knowledge is taught. It’s not quite as straightforward as that, but principally the objective has to be to focus on the exact skills required (along with a certain amount of crucial background) – without trying to cram in every other area – in the way that academic establishments often do.
Just like the advert used to say: ‘It does what it says on the label’. The company just needs to know where they have gaps, and then advertise for someone with the specific certification. Then they’re assured that a potential employee can do exactly what’s required.
Consider only training paths which will grow into commercially acknowledged exams. There are way too many trainers proposing minor ‘in-house’ certificates which aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on in the real world.
All the major commercial players like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA all have nationally recognised proficiency programmes. Huge conglomerates such as these will make your CV stand-out.
