If you are considering a job in network support then the MCSA course is the ideal one for you. Whether you're about to get going or already have experience but need to improve your CV, a range of courses exist to help you either way. Each of these categories requires different material, so make sure you've got the correct program when spending your money. Identify a company that's willing to understand you, and what you'd like to do, and will make available enough information to arrange your thoughts.

You should remember: a training itself or a certification is not what you're looking for; the career that you want to end up in is. Many trainers unfortunately place too much importance on the actual accreditation. Avoid becoming one of those unfortunate people who set off on a track that on the surface appears interesting - only to end up with a qualification for a job they hate.

You also need to know your feelings on earning potential and career progression, and how ambitious you are. You should understand what (if any) sacrifices you'll need to make for a particular role, which particular accreditations are needed and how to develop your experience. We advise all students to chat with an experienced advisor before deciding on their training course. This helps to ensure it contains the relevant skills for that career path.

One crafty way that training companies make more money is through up-front charges for exams and offering an exam guarantee. It looks impressive, but is it really:

Thankfully, today we are a little more 'marketing-savvy' - and generally we cotton on to the fact that it is something we're paying for - they're not just being charitable and doling out freebies! Students who take each progressive exam, paying for them just before taking them are much more likely to pass. They are aware of what they've paid and revise more thoroughly to ensure they are ready.

Why should you pay the college early for examinations? Find the best exam deal or offer when you're ready, instead of paying any mark-up - and do it in a local testing centre - rather than possibly hours away from your area. A great deal of money is secured by many companies that get money for exam fees in advance. For various reasons, many students don't take their exams and so they pocket the rest. Amazingly, there are companies around who actually bank on it - as that's how they make a lot of their profit. Remember, with the majority of Exam Guarantees - they control when and how often you are allowed to have another go. Subsequent exam attempts are only authorised at the company's say so.

Prometric and VUE exams are in the region of 112 pounds in this country. Why pay exorbitant charges for 'Exam Guarantees' (often hidden in the cost) - when a quality course, support and commitment, effort and practice with quality exam preparation systems are the factors that really get you through.

We need to make this very clear: Always get full 24x7 support from professional instructors. Later, you'll kick yourself if you don't follow this rule rigidly. Avoid, like the plague, any organisations who use 'out-of-hours' call-centres - where an advisor will call back during standard office hours. This is no use if you're stuck and want support there and then.

Top training companies utilise several support facilities around the globe in several time-zones. Online access provides the interactive interface to seamlessly link them all, no matter what time you login, help is just seconds away, without any contact issues or hassle. If you fail to get yourself online 24x7 support, you'll regret it very quickly. It may be that you don't use it throughout the night, but consider weekends, evenings and early mornings at some point.
