Potential trainees eager to kick off an Information Technology career often don't know which route is best, or even which market to get qualified in. Since having no solid background in IT, in what way could we understand what anyone doing a particular job actually does? Arriving at a well-informed answer only comes via a systematic investigation covering many different factors:

- The kind of individual you consider yourself to be - which things you enjoy, plus of course - what makes you unhappy.

- Are you looking to realise a key aim - like working from home someday?

- How important is salary to you - is it very important, or is job satisfaction further up on your priority-list?

- Some students don't fully understand the work needed to get fully certified.

- You have to understand what differentiates each area of training.

In all honesty, your only option to investigate these matters tends to be through a good talk with a professional that has experience of the IT industry (as well as it's commercial needs and requirements.)

Reviewing the computer industry, the recent e-Skills study showed an over 26 percent shortage in trained professionals. To explain it in a different way, this clearly demonstrates that the UK is only able to source 3 trained people for each 4 positions available at the moment. Properly qualified and commercially educated new professionals are correspondingly at a resounding premium, and it looks like they will be for much longer. It would be hard to imagine if a better time or market settings could exist for obtaining certification in this swiftly increasing and blossoming business.
