For anyone looking to get into a web design team, studying Adobe Dreamweaver is a fundamental criteria for getting relevant certifications that are globally recognised.
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.
Building a website is just the start of the skill set required though - in order to drive traffic to the site, maintain its content, and work with dynamic database-driven sites, you'll need to bolt on more programming skills, like HTML, PHP and MySQL. It would also be a good idea to gain a working knowledge of Search Engine Optimisation and E Commerce.
You should only consider study courses that'll progress to commercially accepted exams. There's an endless list of trainers promoting minor 'in-house' certificates which are worthless when it comes to finding a job.
Unless the accreditation comes from a company like Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco or Adobe, then it's likely it will be commercially useless - as it'll be an unknown commodity.
What is the reason why traditional academic studies are now falling behind more qualifications from the commercial sector?
The IT sector is now aware that for mastery of skill sets for commercial use, proper accreditation from companies such as Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA most often has much more specialised relevance - at a far reduced cost both money and time wise.
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).
Technology and IT is amongst the most stimulating and innovative industries you could be involved with. To be working on the cutting-edge of technology is to do your bit in the gigantic changes affecting everyone who lives in the 21st century.
Computing technology and connections through the web is going to dramatically shape the direction of our lives in the near future; incredibly so.
If money is up there on your list of priorities, then you'll appreciate the fact that the usual remuneration of IT employees in general is a lot more than salaries in much of the rest of industry.
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.
The way in which your courseware is broken down for you isn't always given the appropriate level of importance. How many stages do they break the program into? And in what order and how fast does each element come?
Trainees may consider it sensible (with training often lasting 2 or 3 years to gain full certified status,) that a training provider will issue the training stage by stage, as you complete each part. Although:
It's not unusual for trainees to realise that the trainer's standard order of study isn't as suitable as another. You may find that a different order of study is more expedient. Perhaps you don't make it at the pace they expect?
Put simply, the very best answer is to get an idea of what they recommend as an ideal study order, but get everything up-front. It's then all yours in the event you don't complete everything quite as quick as they'd want.
