To become a proficient web designer with relevant qualifications for the job market today, you'll need to study Adobe Dreamweaver.
We'd also suggest that students get an in-depth understanding of the entire Adobe Web Creative Suite, which incorporates Flash and Action Script, to be able to take advantage of Dreamweaver as a commercial web-designer. These skills can lead to becoming an Adobe Certified Expert or Adobe Certified Professional (ACE or ACP).
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.
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.
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.
Commercial certification is now, very visibly, already replacing the more academic tracks into the industry - so why has this come about?
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.
Many degrees, for example, often get bogged down in a great deal of loosely associated study - with a syllabus that's far too wide. Students are then held back from learning the core essentials in sufficient depth.
Just as the old advertisement said: 'It does what it says on the tin'. Employers simply need to know what areas need to be serviced, and then advertise for someone with the specific certification. Then they're assured that a potential employee can do exactly what's required.
There is a tidal wave of change flooding technology in the near future - and this means greater innovations all the time.
We're barely starting to get to grips with how this will truly impact our way of life. The way we interrelate with the rest of the world will be significantly affected by technology and the web.
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.
It would appear there is a lot more room for IT jobs growth throughout this country. The market sector continues to develop quickly, and as we have a significant shortage of skilled professionals, it's not likely that it will even slow down for a good while yet.
Most people don't even think to ask about something that can make a profound difference to their results - the way their training provider segments the courseware, and into how many parts.
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:
What happens when you don't complete every single section? What if you don't find their order of learning is ideal for you? Without any fault on your part, you might take a little longer and not get all the study materials as a result.
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.
