To become a proficient web designer and have the most recognised qualification for the current working environment, your must-have certification is Adobe Dreamweaver.
For professional applications it's important to have an in-depth understanding of the full Adobe Web Creative Suite. This includes (though it's not limited to) Action Script and Flash. Should you desire to become an Adobe Certified Expert or Adobe Certified Professional (ACE or ACP) you'll find these skills are vital.
The building of the website is only the beginning of what you'll need - in order to drive traffic, update content, and work with dynamic database-driven sites, you'll need to bolt on other programming skills, namely ones like HTML, PHP and MySQL. In addition, you should gain an excellent grasp of E-Commerce and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
A lot of men and women presume that the school and FE college system is still the most effective. So why is commercial certification beginning to overtake it?
With university education costs increasing year on year, together with the IT sector's growing opinion that key company training often has more relevance in the commercial field, we've seen a great increase in Microsoft, CISCO, Adobe and CompTIA based training routes that provide key skills to an employee at a fraction of the cost and time involved.
Vendor training works through concentrating on the skill-sets required (alongside an appropriate level of background knowledge,) instead of covering masses of the background detail and 'fluff' that academic courses often do (to fill up a syllabus or course).
Assuming a company understands what work they need doing, then all it takes is an advert for the exact skill-set required to meet that need. Syllabuses are all based on the same criteria and do not vary between trainers (as academic syllabuses often do).
Many trainers will provide a useful Job Placement Assistance facility, to help you into your first commercial role. Don't get caught up in this feature - it's quite easy for companies marketing departments to make too much of it. In reality, the massive skills shortage in this country is the reason you'll find a job.
Nevertheless, don't leave it until you've passed your final exams before bringing your CV up to date. As soon as your training commences, mark down what you're doing and get it out there!
Getting your CV considered is more than not being known. A decent number of junior support jobs are given to trainees (who've only just left first base.)
If you don't want to travel too far to work, then you may well find that an independent and specialised local employment service could work much better for you than some national concern, due to the fact that they are much more inclined to know the jobs that are going locally.
A constant aggravation of various training companies is how much students are prepared to study to become certified, but how un-prepared that student is to get the job they've acquired skills for. Don't give up when the best is yet to come.
A sneaky way that colleges make a lot more is by charging for exams up-front then giving it 'Exam Guarantee' status. It looks impressive, but is it really:
Clearly it's not free - you're still footing the bill for it - the cost has just been rolled into the whole training package.
The honest truth is that if a student pays for each examination, one at a time, they will be much more likely to pass every time - because they're aware of what they've paid and therefore will put more effort into their preparation.
Hold on to your money and pay for the exam at the appropriate time, and keep hold of your own money. You'll then be able to select where you do your exams - which means you can stay local.
Considerable numbers of current training companies make a great deal of profit through charging for exams at the start of the course then banking on the fact that many won't be taken.
Re-takes of any failed exams through companies with an 'Exam Guarantee' are always heavily controlled. You will be required to do mock exams to make sure they think you're going to pass.
Spending hundreds or even thousands extra on 'Exam Guarantees' is short-sighted - when a commitment to studying and the use of authorised exam preparation tools is what will really guarantee success.
The world of information technology is one of the most thrilling and changing industries that you can get into right now. Being a member of a team working on breakthroughs in technology puts you at the fore-front of developments that will affect us all over the next generation.
Technological changes and communication via the internet will dramatically shape our lives over the coming years; incredibly so.
Should lifestyle be way up on your scale of wants, then you'll be happy to know that the usual remuneration for a typical IT worker is much better than salaries in most other jobs or industries.
The search for well trained and qualified IT technicians is guaranteed for many years to come, because of the ongoing growth in IT dependency in commerce and the very large skills gap still in existence.
