In today's high speed society, support workers who have the ability to mend networks and PC's, and give ongoing assistance to users, are vital in all areas of industry. The world's hunger for such qualified and commercially astute people is constantly growing, as everywhere we work becomes more and more computer dependent.

If you're like many of the students we talk to then you've always enjoyed practical work - the 'hands-on' type. If you're like us, the unfortunate chore of reading reference guides can be just about bared when essential, but you really wouldn't enjoy it. Check out video-based multimedia instruction if learning from books is not your thing. Many studies have proved that we remember much more when we receive multi-sensorial input, and we get physically involved with the study process.

Locate a program where you'll get a host of CD and DVD based materials - you'll start with videos of instructor demonstrations, and then have the opportunity to hone your abilities through virtual lab's. You'll definitely want a look at some courseware examples from the training company. You should ask for demo's from instructors, slideshows and fully interactive skills-lab's.

It doesn't make sense to select online only courseware. Due to the variable nature of connection quality from the ISP (internet service provider) market, ensure that you have access to physical media such as CD or DVD ROM's.

A sneaky way that colleges make more money is by charging for exams up-front and offering an exam guarantee. It looks impressive, but is it really:

Certainly it isn't free - you are paying for it - the cost has just been rolled into the whole training package. Those who go in for their examinations when it's appropriate, paying for them just before taking them are much more likely to pass. They're aware of what they've paid and take the necessary steps to ensure they are ready.

Does it really add up to pay the training course provider early for examination fees? Find the best deal you can when you're ready, instead of paying a premium - and do it locally - rather than in some remote place. A lot of extra profit is netted by many companies that take the exam money up-front. For various reasons, many students don't take their exams but the company keeps the money. Believe it or not, there are providers that actually bank on it - as that's where a lot of their profit comes from. Pay heed to the fact that, with most 'Exam Guarantees' - they control when and how often you can do your re-takes. You'll have to prove conclusively that you can pass before they'll pay for another exam.

The cost of exams was approximately 112 pounds last year via VUE or Pro-metric centres in the UK. So don't be talked into shelling out hundreds or thousands of pounds more for 'an Exam Guarantee', when it's obvious that the best guarantee is consistent and systematic learning, coupled with quality exam simulation software.
