What could a trainee looking for training tracks certified by Microsoft expect to come across? Clearly, training providers should be offering a selection of courses that meet the requirements of Microsoft certified training tracks. Maybe you'd choose to have a chat about jobs with a person who's got industry experience - and if you're uncertain, then have some guidance on which area of the industry would be best, dependent on your personality. Ensure your training program is designed to your current skills and aptitude. The best companies will always guarantee that your training track is relevant to the career you want to get into.

Be watchful that any exams that you're considering are recognised by industry and are current. 'In-house' certificates are not normally useful in gaining employment. The main industry leaders such as Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA or Adobe have globally renowned proficiency courses. These heavyweights will give some sparkle to your CV.

You should remember: the training program or a certification isn't what this is about; the particular job that you want to end up in is. Many trainers unfortunately completely prioritise the piece of paper. Never let yourself become one of the unfortunate masses that choose a course which looks like it could be fun - and end up with a certification for a career they'll never really get any satisfaction from.

Spend some time thinking about what you want to earn and what level of ambition fits you. Usually, this will point the way to what precise exams you will need and what industry will expect from you in return. Before you embark on a learning programme, trainees are advised to talk through the specific market needs with a professional advisor, to ensure the retraining path covers all the bases.
