If you're seeking Microsoft certified training, it stands to reason you'll want training organisations to offer a wide range of the best training programs available today.

Additionally you might hope to get advice on the sort of careers that are available when you've finished studying, and the type of individual such a career might be right for. Most students prefer to discuss what the best route is for them.

Training must be customised to make the most of your skills and abilities. Consequently, once you've decided on the most fruitful career for you, your next requirement is the most suitable program that will get you into that job.

Many students come unstuck over one area of their training very rarely considered: The breakdown of the course materials before being physically delivered to you.

Individual deliveries for each training module piece by piece, as you complete each module is the usual method of releasing your program. This sounds logical, but you might like to consider this:

What if there are reasons why you can't finish every single section? What if you don't find their order of learning is ideal for you? Due to no fault of yours, you may not meet the required timescales and not get all the study materials as a result.

In all honesty, the perfect answer is to have their ideal 'order' of training laid out, but to receive all the materials up-front. You then have everything if you don't manage to finish at their required pace.

A useful feature that several companies offer is a programme of Job Placement assistance. The service is put in place to help you find your first job in the industry. Ultimately it isn't so complicated as you might think to secure your first job - as long as you're correctly trained and certified; the growing UK skills shortage sees to that.

Help with your CV and interview techniques may be available (if not, see one of our sites for help). Make sure you update that dusty old CV straight away - not after you've qualified!

It's possible that you won't have even taken your exams when you land your first junior support job; although this is not possible unless your CV is with employers.

If you don't want to travel too far to work, then you'll often find that an independent and specialised local employment service could serve you better than some national concern, as they're going to be familiar with the local job scene.

Do ensure you don't spend hundreds of hours on your training and studies, and then just stop and imagine someone else is miraculously going to secure your first position. Take responsibility for yourself and get out there. Channel the same energy and enthusiasm into securing your first job as it took to pass the exams.

People attracted to this sort of work can be very practical by nature, and aren't really suited to the classroom environment, and struggling through thick study-volumes. If you identify with this, try the newer style of interactive study, where you can learn everything on-screen.

Long-term memory is enhanced when multiple senses are involved - educational experts have expounded on this for years now.

Modern training can now be done at home via easy-to-use DVD or CD ROM's. Real-world classes from the instructors will mean you'll learn your subject by way of their teaching and demonstrations. Then it's time to test your knowledge by practicing and interacting with the software.

Be sure to get a demonstration of the study materials from any training college. The materials should incorporate demo's from instructors, slideshows and lab's for you to practice your skills in.

Avoiding training that is delivered purely online is generally a good idea. You want physical CD/DVD ROM course materials where available, as you need to be able to use them whenever it's convenient for you - ISP quality varies, so you don't want to be totally reliant on a good broadband connection all the time.

Every program under consideration should always lead to a properly recognised accreditation as an end-goal - and not a worthless 'in-house' plaque for your wall.

From an employer's viewpoint, only the top companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA (for instance) provide enough commercial weight. Nothing else will cut the mustard.
