Well done! Reading this subject matter indicates you're probably thinking about your future, and if you're considering retraining you've even now progressed more than most. Can you believe that just one in ten of us are fulfilled in our working life - yet the vast majority of us won't do a thing about it. Why don't you liberate yourself and do something - think about how you could enjoy Monday mornings.

It's advisable to get some help before you start - talk to a knowledgeable person; an advisor who can get to the bottom of what you'll like in a job, and work out what career tracks you may be suited to:

* Is having company at work important to you? Do you like to deal with the public? Maybe you like to deal with tasks that you can get on with on your own?

* Which criteria's do you have when considering the market sector you hope to work in?

* Should this be a one off time that you'll have to retrain?

* Are you happy that your chosen retraining will make you employable, and have the ability to keep you in work up to retirement age?

It's important that one of your key sectors is Information Technology - it's no secret that it is one of the few growth sectors. It's not full of geeky individuals gazing at their PC's the whole time - it's true there are those roles, but the majority of roles are carried out by Joe averages who get on very well.

Kick out a salesperson that just tells you what course you should do without performing a 'fact-find' to gain understanding of your current abilities plus your level of experience. They should be able to select from a large product range so they're able to solve your training issues. With a little real-world experience or qualifications, you could discover that your appropriate starting-point is different from a beginner. Working through a user skills module first will sometimes be the most effective way to commence your computer programme, depending on your skill level at the moment.

Incorporating exam fees with the course fee and presenting it as a guarantee for your exams is common for many training course providers. But let's examine why they really do it:

Obviously it isn't free - you are paying for it - it's just been wrapped up in the price of the package. The fact is that if students pay for each examination, at the time of taking them, they'll be in a better position to pass first time - as they're aware of what they've paid and their application will be greater.

Shouldn't you be looking to go for the best offer at the appropriate time, rather than coughing up months or even a year or two in advance to the training course provider, and to take it closer to home - instead of the remote centre that's convenient only to the trainer? A great deal of money is secured by some training companies that get money for exam fees in advance. Many students don't take them for one reason or another and so they pocket the rest. Believe it or not, providers exist who actually rely on students not sitting all the exams - as that's how they make a lot of their profit. The majority of organisations will insist that you take mock exams first and not allow you to re-take an exam until you've demonstrated an excellent ability to pass - so an 'Exam Guarantee' comes with many clauses in reality.

Shelling out hundreds or thousands of pounds on an 'Exam Guarantee' is naive - when hard work, commitment and the right preparation via exam simulations is what will really see you through.

Please understand this most important point: Always get full 24x7 instructor and mentor support. We can tell you that you'll strongly regret it if you let this one slide. some companies only provide email support (slow), and so-called telephone support is normally just routed to a call-centre that will make some notes and then email an advisor - who will then call back sometime over the next 24hrs, when it's convenient to them. This is not a lot of use if you're sitting there confused over an issue and can only study at specific times.

The best training colleges utilise a web-based 24x7 facility combining multiple support operations from around the world. You get a simple interface which seamlessly accesses whichever office is appropriate any time of the day or night: Support available as-and-when you want it. Find a company that is worth purchasing from. Only true 24x7 round-the-clock live support gives you the confidence to make it.

Looking at the myriad of choice out there, is it any wonder that the majority of newcomers to the industry have no idea which career they will enjoy. I mean, without any experience in the IT industry, what chance is there for you to know what some particular IT person actually does day-to-day? How can you possibly choose what accreditation path is the most likely for success. Generally, the way to deal with this problem properly flows from a thorough discussion of several different topics:

* Personality factors and interests - what work-centred jobs you enjoy or dislike.

* Why you want to consider stepping into IT - maybe you want to conquer a long-held goal such as working from home maybe.

* What salary and timescale requirements that are important to you?

* Because there are so many markets to choose from in the IT industry - there's a need to achieve a basic understanding of what separates them.

* Taking a cold, hard look into the effort, commitment and time that you're going to put into it.

In these situations, the only way to investigate these matters tends to be through a good talk with an advisor or professional who has a background in Information Technology (as well as it's commercial needs and requirements.)
