Training For An IT Qualification

By Albartio Pheung

IT training is one of the most desired areas of training in the world these days due to the importance of IT in the modern world in any business. However many people miss out on the opportunities that IT training can bring because the costs can be quite high.

There are options however; if you choose to carry out your certified training off-shore, then you can become qualified for approximately 50% of the cost of equivalent training in the UK. You can undergo certified Microsoft training, or Cisco, or Oracle training for that matter, and where the course occurs is not important.

The most important thing is to choose to conduct your training with a company that has a history of delivering top class results for all their students, but at a significantly reduced cost. It is obviously important that the quality of the course instruction is as good as that of UK based courses, so you should check your chosen company thoroughly to check that they offer truly first class tuition.

Obviously it depends on exactly how long your course is as to how much you will save compared to UK companies, but as stated above, it is usually around 50% which is obviously a huge reduction in your job acquisition costs. A certified Microsoft, Oracle or Cisco trained person will hugely increase their job prospects as the qualification is respected in all countries and industries.

The other benefit of off shore training is that you can carry out 1 to 1 training allowing you to complete your training much faster than in a normal group booked course. This is a very cost effective way of gaining your certified qualification in the shortest time period possible. You can choose where you wish to receive your training, but most good off shore training facilities are based in and around India.

It can be a big decision to choose to train abroad, so you should conduct due diligence before you commit yourself to a training company. Make sure that they can deliver on their promises, and that their training is approved and certified. You want your qualification to carry maximum weight once you have it, so you will need to ensure that it is of a suitable standard.
