To become a proficient web designer with relevant qualifications for the job market today, you'll need to study Adobe Dreamweaver.

The full Adobe Web Creative Suite additionally should be learned in detail. This will introduce you to Flash and Action Script, (and more), and means you'll be in a position to take your Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) or an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) accreditation.

Learning how to build the website is only the beginning. Traffic creation, content maintenance and knowledge of some programming essentials should follow. Look for training that also include these skills (such as PHP, HTML, MySQL etc.), alongside Search Engine Optimisation and E Commerce.

A study programme should always lead to a nationally (or globally) recognised accreditation as an end-goal - definitely not some 'in-house' diploma - fit only for filing away and forgetting.

From the perspective of an employer, only the big-boys such as Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco or CompTIA (to give some examples) will get you short-listed. Anything less just doesn't cut the mustard.

What is the reason why traditional academic studies are now falling behind more qualifications from the commercial sector?

As demand increases for knowledge about more and more complex technology, industry has had to move to the specialised training that the vendors themselves supply - in other words companies such as Microsoft, CISCO, Adobe and CompTIA. This usually turns out to involve less time and financial outlay.

Obviously, a necessary portion of relevant additional detail needs to be learned, but core specialised knowledge in the exact job role gives a commercially trained student a huge edge.

Assuming a company knows what they're looking for, then they simply need to advertise for a person with the appropriate exam numbers. The syllabuses all have to conform to the same requirements and aren't allowed to deviate (in the way that degree courses can).

Working on progressive developments in new technology really is electrifying. You personally play your part in shaping the next few decades.

Many people are of the opinion that the revolution in technology we've been going through is slowing down. This couldn't be more wrong. We have yet to experience incredible advances, and the internet significantly will be the most effective tool in our lives.

A usual IT technician throughout Britain has been shown to receive considerably more than employees on a par in other market sectors. Standard IT salaries are around the top of national league tables.

With the IT marketplace emerging year on year, it's predictable that the search for appropriately qualified IT professionals will continue actively for quite some time to come.

One area often overlooked by people mulling over a new direction is the concept of 'training segmentation'. Basically, this means the breakdown of the materials for drop-shipping to you, which makes a huge difference to the point you end up at.

The majority of training companies will set up a 2 or 3 year study programme, and send out each piece as you complete each section or exam. On the surface this seems reasonable - until you consider the following:

Maybe the order of study insisted on by the company won't suit you. You may find it a stretch to finalise all the sections at the speed required?

For the perfect solution, you want ALL the study materials up-front - giving you them all to come back to in the future - at any time you choose. Variations can then be made to the order that you complete your exams as and when something more intuitive seems right for you.
