Visual Studio is the primary 'Windows' software program development 'environment', and is exclusively owned by MS. They offer several languages, with C#.Net & 'VB.Net' (Visual Basic) being the most widely used. You'll find out more about these by reading our specialist Programming & Development web-pages. MCAD and MCSD qualifications have now been upgraded to the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) and the 'Microsoft Certified Professional Developer' ('MCPD').

Beware of putting too much emphasis, as many people do, on the training course itself. Your training isn't about getting a plaque on your wall; this is about employment. Stay focused on what it is you want to achieve. It's a terrible situation, but thousands of new students begin programs that seem magnificent in the marketing materials, but which provides the end-result of a job that is of no interest at all. Just ask several college students for a real eye-opener.

Set targets for what you want to earn and how ambitious you are. Usually, this will point the way to which particular certifications will be required and what industry will expect from you in return. We advise all students to chat with an experienced industry professional before they embark on a training programme. This is required to ensure it has the required elements for the career path that has been chosen.

Amongst Microsoft's great strengths through-out recent decades has to have been their push towards more advanced certification, causing several other corporations to follow suit & increase their game. Consequently professional level MS certification is very well thought of throughout the entire world of I.T. & IT management.

Now, why is it better to gain commercial certification as opposed to more traditional academic qualifications gained through the state educational establishments? With an ever-increasing technical demand on resources, the IT sector has had to move to specialist courses that can only be obtained from the actual vendors - that is companies like CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA. This usually turns out to involve less time and financial outlay. Higher education courses, as a example, often get bogged down in too much background study - and a syllabus that's too generalised. This holds a student back from learning the core essentials in sufficient depth.

Imagine if you were an employer - and you wanted someone who could provide a specific set of skills. What is easier: Trawl through reams of different degrees and college qualifications from various applicants, asking for course details and which workplace skills they've mastered, or choose a specific set of accreditations that exactly fulfil your criteria, and draw up from that who you want to speak to. You'll then be able to concentrate on getting a feel for the person at interview - rather than establishing whether they can do a specific task.

One area often overlooked by potential students weighing up a particular programme is the issue of 'training segmentation'. This is essentially the breakdown of the materials for drop-shipping to you, which vastly changes what you end up with. Typically, you'll join a programme requiring 1-3 years study and get sent one module each time you pass an exam. This may seem sensible until you think about these factors: What if you find the order prescribed by the provider doesn't suit you. You may find it a stretch to finalise each and every section within their timetable?

To provide the maximum security and flexibility, most students now choose to insist that all study materials are sent immediately, and not in a piecemeal fashion. It's then your own choice in what order and how fast or slow you'd like to work.
