For those interested in joining the web design industry, studying Adobe Dreamweaver is a fundamental criteria for getting professional qualifications acknowledged around the world.
For applications done commercially it's important to have a full understanding of the full Adobe Web Creative Suite. This will include (but is by no means restricted to) Action Script and Flash. Should you desire to become an Adobe Certified Expert or Adobe Certified Professional (ACE or ACP) then such knowledge is non-negotiable.
The construction of the website is just the start of what you'll need - in order to create traffic, maintain its content, and work on dynamic sites that are database driven, you'll be required to have more programming skills, for example HTML, PHP and MySQL. You should also have an excellent grasp of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and E-Commerce.
An all too common mistake that students everywhere can make is to focus entirely on getting a qualification, instead of focusing on where they want to get to. Schools are full of students that chose an 'interesting' course - instead of the program that would surely get them the career they desired.
Don't be one of those unfortunate students that choose a course that seems 'fun' or 'interesting' - and end up with a plaque on the wall for a job they hate.
Make sure you investigate your leanings around career progression and earning potential, and whether you intend to be quite ambitious. You need to know what the role will demand of you, what qualifications are needed and how to develop your experience.
Long before starting a training course, you'd be well advised to discuss individual job needs with an industry professional, to make sure the learning path covers everything needed.
Quite often, students have issues with a single training area which doesn't even occur to them: The breakdown of the course materials before being couriered to your address.
By and large, you will join a program that takes between and 1 and 3 years and get posted one section at a time - from one exam to the next. This sounds logical on one level, until you consider this:
Sometimes the steps or stages offered by the provider doesn't suit. And what if you don't finish all the sections inside of their particular timetable?
To avoid any potential future issues, it's normal for most trainees to insist that all study materials are couriered out in one package, all at the beginning. It's then your own choice how fast or slow and in what order you want to go.
Sometimes students presume that the traditional school, college or university track is the way they should go. So why are commercial certificates becoming more popular with employers?
Accreditation-based training (in industry terminology) is more effective in the commercial field. Industry has acknowledged that specialisation is essential to service the demands of a technologically complex world. Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA are the key players in this arena.
In essence, only that which is required is learned. It's not quite as straightforward as that, but the principle objective is to concentrate on the fundamentally important skill-sets (including a degree of required background) - without going into too much detail in everything else (as academia often does).
Imagine if you were an employer - and you wanted someone who could provide a specific set of skills. What's the simplest way to find the right person: Trawl through reams of different degrees and college qualifications from various applicants, having to ask what each has covered and what commercial skills they have, or select a specialised number of commercial certifications that precisely match your needs, and make your short-list from that. The interview is then more about the person and how they'll fit in - rather than on the depth of their technical knowledge.
Always expect an accredited exam preparation programme as part of your course package.
Make sure that the exams you practice aren't just asking you the right questions on the right subjects, but ask them in the way that the actual final exam will ask them. It completely unsettles students if the phraseology and format is completely different.
Mock exams can be enormously valuable in helping you build your confidence - so when it comes to taking your actual exams, you won't be worried.
