Should you fancy a web design career, then it's critical to study Adobe Dreamweaver.
We'd also suggest that you gain an in-depth and thorough understanding of the entire Adobe Web Creative Suite, which includes Flash and Action Script, in order to take advantage of Dreamweaver commercially as a web-designer. This knowledge can result in you subsequently becoming either an Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) or an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE).
In order to become a well-rounded web professional however, there is much more to consider. You'll need to study various programming essentials like HTML, PHP and database engines like MySQL. An excellent grasp of E-Commerce and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) will help when talking to employers.
One crafty way that training companies make extra profits is by charging for exams up-front and offering an exam guarantee. It looks impressive, but is it really:
Clearly it isn't free - you're still footing the bill for it - it's just been included in your package price.
Should you seriously need to qualify first 'go', you must fund each exam as you take it, give it the necessary attention and be ready for the task.
Why should you pay your training college at the start of the course for examination fees? Hold on to your money and pay for the exam when you're ready, instead of paying a premium - and do it locally - not at somewhere of their bidding.
Considerable numbers of so-called credible training colleges net a great deal of profit by charging for exam fees early and hoping you won't see them all through.
It's also worth noting that exam guarantees often have very little value. Most companies will not pay again for an exam until you can prove to them you're ready to pass.
Prometric and VUE exams are currently clocking in at an average of 112 pounds in the United Kingdom today. What's the point of paying huge charges for 'Exam Guarantees' (most often hidden in the package) - when a quality course, support and consistent and systematic learning, coupled with quality exam simulation software is what will really see you through.
You should look for accredited simulation materials and an exam preparation system included in the package you choose.
Avoid relying on non-accredited exam preparation systems. Their phraseology can be quite different - and this leads to huge confusion in the actual examination.
You should make sure you verify how much you know through tests and practice exams to get you ready for the real deal.
Beware of putting too much emphasis, like so many people do, on the accreditation program. Your training isn't about getting a plaque on your wall; this is about employment. Begin and continue with the end in mind.
Never let yourself become one of the unfortunate masses who select a program that sounds really 'interesting' and 'fun' - and end up with a certification for an unrewarding career path.
Make sure you investigate your leanings around earning potential and career progression, and if you're ambitious or not. It makes sense to understand what industry expects from you, which particular certifications are required and where you'll pick-up experience from.
Have a conversation with a skilled professional who has a background in the industry you're considering, and is able to give you a detailed description of what to expect in that role. Getting to the bottom of all this long before starting out on a training path makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
A expert and practiced advisor (vs a salesman) will ask questions and seek to comprehend your current level of ability and experience. This is useful for understanding your starting point for training.
If you have a strong background, or sometimes a little commercial experience (some certifications gained previously perhaps?) then it could be that your starting point will be different from a student that is completely new to the industry.
Where this will be your initial crack at IT study then you may want to start out with some basic user skills first. - 33376
