Microsoft Certified Training

Learning Lolly has searched the world to find the very best Microsoft Gold Partner certified training tracks.

We offer a range of courses to lead you into most areas of the IT industry, dependent on what you're looking to do. Our usual approach is to discuss with you what you feel you'd like to do - if you're not sure, then we can help you sort out which area of the industry would be right for you based on your personality and ability level.

Once you're happy with your choice, we can then look at the skill sets you already have, and the level you wish to go to. Then we can offer the appropriate course for you.

Fully Interactive Microsoft Certified Training

The quality of our training is second to none. It's supplied to you on a collection of discs that you work your way through on your laptop or PC, allowing you to interact with software without the need for installation.

Our range of courses offers the very latest versions available of training from Microsoft, for example our MCSE course comes with the 2008 upgrade.

Our training offers video demonstration and virtual labs in which to practice your new found skills. Every effort has been made to produce an engaging learning arena, avoiding any need to delve into technical manuals where it's easy to lose the will to live after a few months! Getting Microsoft certified training has never been easier.

Your training support is supplied from four offices around the world, all operating in different time zones. This means whatever time you log in, the team are always ready and waiting to help, anytime of day or night. Now that's commitment!

When the time comes for exam preparation, again we've got it covered. You'll have access to Microsoft authorised simlulation exams, providing you with an arena to practice in, so you know when you're ready to pass the real thing.

By this stage you're probably thinking this sounds like the best training and support package you've ever seen, and you'd be right.

However, our commitment extends further than that, as the best is yet to come...
All of our career courses are backed up with a job placement assistance package, and because our training is so technologically advanced we have no need to pass on high overhead expenses such as college premises. This makes our courses considerably less than our competitors.

Frankly Speaking... thoughts for the day!

The Cost of Learning

Long term studies recently indicated that the average cost of bringing up a child in the UK amounted to 193,000 pounds in total - equating to approximately 26-28 pounds per day. The news was greeted with a swathe of cynical retorts from long suffering parents almost unified in their total lack of surprise.

Many pundits are now evaluating the current recession and its effect on traditional education systems with consistent reference to the strategies to survive adopted by parents, educators and students alike in the recession of the 1990's.

Analysis suggests that on average up to 40 percent of the entire household disposable income is spent on education and schooling overall. With the hardening attitude towards bank lending and mortgage allocation this figure could rise as our young people stay with their parents for longer before leaving the nest and lengthen their education programs - almost as a by product of something to do whilst we wait for things to get better.

With an ever increasing family focus on the cost of living, alongside many companies cutting back on training and development programs - it is pointless spending money on training when you do not know for certain that the person will not be made redundant - it is small wonder that many people are now reviewing their method of personal development and the subject matter that they study in.

Historically banking, public services and the like have all been considered stable long term employers and attracted people accordingly. Over the last ten years or so this has been largely superseded by the perception of jobs offered within the IT industry.

Unlike training in the motor industry or engineering, where key skills often have to be gained in a practical environment, IT training can be predominantly home based. Whilst it is difficult to transport a complete car production line into the home, computer based training is easily at hand. Developments in the intellectual property field such as IT have grown exponentially as a result of this and the continued enhancements in the way the skills are taught and learnt.

New training methodology utilising 24/7 remote access to highly skilled lecturers adds weight to the strategy and the final result is certification in a field that is widely sought after throughout the world. Along with easily quantified salary and career structures it is little wonder that IT training is so attractive.

With many people unsure of their future, whether early on in their career or mid way through life, home based training in subjects such as IT can often be seen as a superb, low cost, easy paced development program; gaining skills that are easily accepted anywhere in the world and highly resilient in a changeable economic environment.
