Congratulate yourself that you’re reading this article! A small number of workers say they enjoy their work, but a huge number complain to each other and nothing happens. By looking for this it’s likely that you’ve a personal interest in re-training, so you’ve already stood out from the crowd. Take your time now to research and follow-through.

Before you make decisions on individual training courses, find an expert who will be able to guide you on which area will be right for you. Someone who has the ability to get an understanding of your personality, and discover what type of job will be right for you:

* Would you like to work with others? If so, do you want a team or are you more comfortable dealing with strangers? Or are you better working in isolation?

* What do you require from your chosen industry? (If it’s stability you’re after, you might think twice about banks or the building industry right now.)

* Once you’ve trained, how many years work do anticipate working, and will the industry give you the confidence that will happen?

* Will this new qualification give you the opportunity to get a good job, and stay employable until you wish to retire?

Look at the IT industry, that’s our best advice – unusually, it’s one of the market sectors still on the grow throughout Europe. In addition, salaries and benefits exceed most other industries.

Some training companies only give basic 9am till 6pm support (maybe a little earlier or later on certain days); It’s rare to find someone who offers late evening or full weekend cover. Email support is too slow, and telephone support is usually to a call-centre that will chat nicely with you for 5 minutes to ask what the issue is and then simply send an email to an instructor – who will attempt to call you within 24-48 hrs, at a time suitable for them. This is all next to useless if you’re stuck and can’t continue and only have a specific time you can study.

The most successful trainers incorporate three or four individual support centres from around the world. They use an online interactive interface to provide a seamless experience, any time of the day or night, help is at hand, without any contact issues or hassle. If you opt for less than 24×7 support, you’ll end up kicking yourself. You may not need it during the night, but you’re bound to use weekends, late evenings or early mornings.

Have a conversation with almost any specialised consultant and they can normally tell you many horror stories of students who’ve been sold completely the wrong course for them. Only deal with a skilled advisor who asks some in-depth questions to find out what’s appropriate to you – not for their retirement-fund! It’s very important to locate a starting-point that will suit you. With a bit of real-world experience or qualifications, it may be that your starting point of study is very different to someone completely new. If you’re a new trainee beginning IT exams and training as a new venture, it can be useful to start out slowly, starting with a user-skills course first. This can easily be incorporated into most accreditation programs.

Beware of putting too much emphasis, like so many people do, on the accreditation program. Training is not an end in itself; you’re training to become commercially employable. Focus on the end-goal. It’s a testament to the marketing skills of the big companies, but a great many students kick-off study that often sounds wonderful in the sales literature, but which provides the end-result of a job that is of no interest. Try talking to typical university leavers to see what we mean.

You also need to know what your attitude is towards earning potential, career development, and whether you intend to be quite ambitious. You should understand what will be expected of you, what particular certifications will be required and where you’ll pick-up experience from. Look for help from a skilled professional that understands the sector you wish to join, and is able to give you ‘A typical day in the life of’ synopsis of of what you’ll be doing on a day-to-day basis. It’d be sensible to know if this change is right for you well before the training program is started. After all, what is the point in starting to train and then discover you’re on the wrong course.
