Nearly all aspiring web designers start their careers with Adobe Dreamweaver training. It’s most likely the favourite environment for web development on the planet.

We’d also suggest that you become fully conversant with the full Adobe Web Creative Suite, which incorporates Flash and Action Script, to be able to use Dreamweaver commercially as a web-designer. This knowledge can take you on to becoming an Adobe Certified Expert or Adobe Certified Professional (ACE or ACP).

Building a website only scratches the surface of what you’ll need – to maintain content, create traffic, and work with dynamic database-driven sites, you will need further programming skills, for example HTML, PHP and MySQL. A good web designer will additionally have a practical knowledge of E-Commerce and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

What is the reason why qualifications from colleges and universities are less in demand than the more qualifications from the commercial sector?

With a growing demand for specific technological expertise, the IT sector has of necessity moved to specific, honed-in training that can only come from the vendors – for example companies like Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA. This usually turns out to involve less time and financial outlay.

The training is effectively done by honing in on the skills that are really needed (along with a relevant amount of background knowledge,) instead of trawling through all the background non-specific minutiae that degrees in computing are prone to get tied up in (because the syllabus is so wide).

Imagine if you were an employer – and you required somebody who had very specific skills. What should you do: Pore through loads of academic qualifications from several applicants, having to ask what each has covered and which vocational skills have been attained, or choose particular accreditations that perfectly fit your needs, and then choose your interviewees based around that. You’ll then be able to concentrate on getting a feel for the person at interview – instead of having to work out if they can do the job.

Many training companies are still maintaining one of the most out-dated training concepts – classroom attendance. Usually touted as a major benefit, if you track down someone who’s been through a few, you’ll most likely hear about many or most of the following problems:

* Constant travelling to and from the workshop centre – often 100’s of miles.

* For those of us that work, then weekday only classes represent a difficulty in getting time off. You’re usually facing several days in a row too.

* Usually, we think twenty days annual leave is not really enough. Sacrifice at least half of this for training workshops and see your problems doubled.

* Workshops usually become quickly full, giving us the only option of the ‘2nd best’ solution.

* Some trainees lean towards a slower or quicker pace than the rest of the class. This can create the tension often found in classrooms.

* Count the cost of all the travel, fares, accommodation, parking and food and you could be in for a major shock. Trainees talk of increased costs of hundreds to thousands of pounds over time. Take some time to add it all up – then you’ll know.

* Do you really want even a small chance of letting yourself be side-stepped for a possible promotion or wage increases while you’re training.

* Posing questions in front of other class-mates can make any one of us a little self-conscious. Have you ever left a question un-asked just because you were worried it might make you look silly?

* If you occasionally work away from home, you have the added problem that events sometimes become difficult to get to – and yet, the fees were paid along with everything else at the start.

A more flexible training route is to make use of pre-made workshops at home, in comfort – taking them when it’s convenient to you – not anyone else.

Just imagine… Utilising a notebook PC you can learn absolutely anywhere you want (within reason!) And live 24×7 support is only a web-browser click away in case of difficulty.

Just re-watch and re-cover the modules as often as you need to. And of course, you don’t have to take notes because the class is available whenever you want it.

Basically: You save time, hassle, money and avoid killing more trees.
