Career Self-Paced Multimedia Certification Training In Adobe Dreamweaver & Flash CS4
If your dream is to become a great web designer with the right credentials for today’s job market, the course you need is Adobe Dreamweaver. In order to use Dreamweaver professionally in web design, an in-depth understanding of the whole Adobe Web Creative Suite (which incorporates Flash and Action Script) is something to consider very seriously. Having this knowledge will mean, you can go onto become either an Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) or an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE).
To develop into a professional web-designer however, there is much more to consider. You will need to learn certain programming skills like HTML, PHP and database engines like MySQL. A working knowledge of Search Engine Optimisation and E Commerce will also give you a distinct advantage in the marketplace.
Typically, a new trainee will not know to ask about a vitally important element – the way the company segments the courseware elements, and into what particular chunks. Many think it logical (when study may take one to three years to gain full certified status,) for a training company to release the training stage by stage, as you pass each element. But: What if you find the order offered by the provider doesn’t suit. You may find it a stretch to finalise all the elements within their timetable?
For future safety and flexibility, it’s normal for most trainees to make sure that every element of their training is couriered out in one package, all at the beginning. It’s then up to you at what speed and in which order you’d like to work.
We’re often asked why traditional degrees are now falling behind more commercial certificates? The IT sector now acknowledges that to learn the appropriate commercial skills, certified accreditation from the likes of Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA often is more effective in the commercial field – at a far reduced cost both money and time wise. Higher education courses, as an example, clog up the training with a great deal of loosely associated study – and much too wide a syllabus. Students are then held back from getting enough core and in-depth understanding on a specific area.
The crux of the matter is this: Recognised IT certifications tell an employer precisely what skills you have – the title says it all: for example, I am a ‘Microsoft Certified Professional’ in ‘Windows XP Administration and Configuration’. Consequently employers can look at the particular needs they have and what certifications are needed for the job.
Speak with a proficient consultant and they’ll regale you with many horror stories of students who’ve been conned by dodgy salespeople. Only deal with an experienced industry advisor who asks some in-depth questions to find out what’s right for you – not for their pay-packet! It’s very important to locate a starting-point that will suit you. Where you have a strong background, or even a touch of commercial experience (some industry qualifications maybe?) then obviously your starting point will be very different from someone who is just starting out. Where this will be your initial stab at studying to take an IT exam then you might also want to begin with some basic PC skills training first.
Traditional teaching in classrooms, with books and manuals, is an up-hill struggle for the majority of us. If this describes you, check out study materials which feature interactive and multimedia modules. Memory is vastly improved when all our senses are brought into the mix – learning experts have been saying this for years now.
Programs are now found in disc format, so you can study at your own computer. Utilising the latest video technology, you will be able to see the instructor presenting exactly how something is done, with some practice time to follow – via the interactive virtual lab’s. Don’t take any chances and look at some examples of the kind of training materials you’ll be using before you purchase a course. What you want are instructor-led video demonstrations and interactive modules with audio-visual elements.
Often, companies will only use purely on-line training; sometimes you can get away with this – but, imagine the problems if you lose your internet access or you only get very a very slow connection sometimes. A safer solution is the provision of CD and DVD ROM materials that removes the issue entirely.
