Most of us would love to think that our jobs will always be safe and our future is protected, but the growing reality for most sectors in the UK at the moment seems to be that security just isn't there anymore. In actuality, security now only emerges in a swiftly escalating market, pushed forward by a shortfall of trained staff. This shortage creates the appropriate environment for a secure market - a far better situation.

A rather worrying national e-Skills study demonstrated that 26 percent of computing and IT jobs remain unfilled because of a chronic shortage of well-trained staff. Accordingly, for each 4 job positions in existence around Information Technology (IT), businesses can only source trained staff for 3 of the 4. Properly skilled and commercially certified new professionals are as a result at an absolute premium, and it seems it will continue to be so for much longer. While the market is expanding at such a quick pace, is there any other market worth investigating for a new future.

Its commonly accepted that it takes roughly 300 to 350 hours to study for the 'MCSA', & about two hundred hrs more for the MCSE, assuming you have use of outstanding multimedia training, plus superb help and support facilities & exam preparation. This makes it achievable, when you've got experience, to complete them by part-time learning in 8-12 months. Having said that, if you are entering the marketplace with no prior accreditation, then the usual starting point will be the 'Comptia' A+ & N+. These might take approximately 200 hrs to complete, which for the brand new part time student will most likely equal 6 to 8 months. Details of 'A+' & Network+ qualifications are on the 'Comptia' pages on this website.

Validated exam preparation packages are a must - and must be obtained from your training provider. Students regularly can get thrown by trying to prepare themselves with questions that don't come from authorised sources. Sometimes, the question formats and phraseology can be quite different and it's important to prepare yourself for this. Practice exams are very useful for confidence building - so that when you come to take the proper exam, you won't be worried.
