Default Buying training

Hello forum members,

I am looking to purchase computer training. My experiance in the past is that there are lots of training organisations out there that all seem to offer similar products and services and sadly in some case the same results. Everything from expensive to bargain basement.

I have found that most of these companies don't provide what I am looking for and that I have to get staff retrained several months down the line.

The problem is that the training never meets the exact criteria of the job plus the information isn't retained by the staff members. So I don't want to continually send them on courses.

There is such a hugh choices of companies out there all varying. My questions to the forum is this...
  1. What is important to you when buying training?
  2. Why is important that you get the training that solves a problem?
  3. How do you pick training knowing that it will meet your needs?

Default Training

All depends on what area of computers (or whatever subject) you need them trained on. First and foremost is go with a reputable company and one that teaches skills that are needed for your particular application, or if more general then industry standard skills (i.e. A+, N+, MCSA/MCSE, Cisco, etc). There are a ton of different training and certs out there. You can get even more specific and have training on specific software (MS Office, Access, HTML, Dreamweaver, etc). Write down exactly what you need the employees to be able to do before contacting a training company. This will help them design a program to meet your needs.
I'm at a different point where I'm focusing on getting the training for myself for a career change. I am taking basic industry standard classes and certifications so I can enter the field (A+, N+, MCSA/MCSE), and then take more specialized classes once I decide which direction I want to take (Networking, Programming, Security, Database Admin, etc).
Depending on where you are located, there are some big, reputable technical schools. ECPI, InfoSys, and ITT are a few.
