So, why is it better to gain commercially accredited qualifications instead of traditional academic qualifications gained through schools and Further Education colleges? Industry is now aware that to cover the necessary commercial skill-sets, proper accreditation from the likes of Microsoft, CompTIA, CISCO and Adobe often is more effective in the commercial field - at a far reduced cost both money and time wise. University courses, for example, become confusing because of vast amounts of loosely associated study - with a syllabus that's far too wide. Students are then prevented from understanding the specific essentials in enough depth.

Put yourself in the employer's position - and you required somebody who had very specific skills. What is easier: Go through a mass of different academic qualifications from several applicants, having to ask what each has covered and what vocational skills they have, or choose particular accreditations that exactly fulfil your criteria, and then select who you want to interview from that. The interview is then more about the person and how they'll fit in - rather than establishing whether they can do a specific task.

With regard to 'Network+' , the previous N10-003 has now been updated by the N10-004, the '2009' version. A larger emphasis is focused on Security in the '09 N+ examination, alongside network design and wireless networking. This naturally is in addition to the primary elements of network management & infrastructure.

Have you recently questioned your job security? For most of us, we only think of this after something dramatic happens to shake us. But really, the reality is that job security doesn't really exist anymore, for all but the most lucky of us. But a marketplace with high growth, where staff are in constant demand (through a massive shortfall of fully trained professionals), opens the possibility of proper job security.

Looking at the computing industry, a recent e-Skills analysis brought to light an over 26 percent shortage in trained professionals. So, for each 4 job positions in existence in the computer industry, businesses can only find enough qualified individuals for three of them. This distressing idea underpins the validity and need for more commercially qualified IT professionals throughout the country. Quite simply, retraining in Information Technology over the years to come is very likely the safest career direction you could choose.
