It's essential to have the current Microsoft (or any other key organisation's) authorised exam preparation and simulation materials. Some students can get thrown by going through practice questions that aren't recognised by authorised sources. Quite often, the way questions are phrased is startlingly different and you should be prepared for this. Always request some practice exams that will allow you to check your comprehension at all times. Simulated or practice exams will help to boost your attitude - then the actual exam is much easier.

Many trainers have a handy Job Placement Assistance facility, to help you into your first commercial role. Because of the huge shortage of skills in this country right now, it's not too important to become overly impressed with this service however. It isn't so complicated as you might think to get a job once you're well trained and qualified.

Ideally you should have help with your CV and interview techniques though; and we'd encourage all students to work on polishing up their CV right at the beginning of their training - don't procrastinate and leave it until you've qualified. You might not even have passed your first exam when you'll secure your initial junior support job; but this can't and won't happen if your CV isn't in front of employers. If you'd like to keep travelling time and costs to a minimum, then it's quite likely that an independent and specialised local employment service can generally work much better for you than a national service, for they're going to be familiar with local employment needs.

Fundamentally, if you put the same amount of effort into finding your first IT position as into studying, you're not going to hit many challenges. Some trainees inexplicably put hundreds of hours into their course materials and then call a halt once they've got certified and appear to be under the impression that jobs will come to them.

Does job security truly exist anymore? In a marketplace like the UK, with businesses changing their mind on a day-to-day basis, it seems increasingly unlikely. Where there are increasing skills deficits coupled with increasing demand though, we generally discover a newly emerging type of security in the marketplace; where, fuelled by the constant growth conditions, employers struggle to find the influx of staff needed.

Offering the IT industry for example, a recent e-Skills analysis showed massive skills shortages around Great Britain of over 26 percent. Showing that for each 4 job positions in existence throughout the computer industry, we have only 3 certified professionals to fill that need. This disturbing idea reveals the validity and need for more commercially qualified computer professionals throughout the United Kingdom. With the market growing at the speed it is, it's unlikely there's any better area of industry worth investigating for a new career.
