What is the reason why traditional academic studies are being replaced by more commercially accredited qualifications? As demand increases for knowledge about more and more complex technology, industry has had to move to specialist courses that can only be obtained from the actual vendors - namely companies like Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA. This frequently provides reductions in both cost and time. Many degrees, as a example, often get bogged down in vast amounts of background study - and a syllabus that's too generalised. Students are then prevented from getting enough specific knowledge about the core essentials.

Assuming a company is aware what they're looking for, then they just need to look for the particular skill-set required. Syllabuses all have to conform to the same requirements and aren't allowed to deviate (like academia frequently can and does).

If you look around the pages on this site you'll find specific pages covering all these areas - plus the qualification paths that are needed - so you can check things out a little more. On the other hand, you could get our complimentary e-book 'Lollypedia' and then ring to speak to one of our expert advisors.

The way in which your courseware is broken down for you is usually ignored by most students. How many stages do they break the program into? And in what sequence and do you have a say in when you'll get each part? Training companies will normally offer some sort of program spread over 1-3 years, and deliver each piece one-by-one as you finish each section. This sounds reasonable until you consider the following: What if for some reason you don't get to the end of all the sections or exams? And what if you find the order of the modules counter-intuitive? Due to no fault of yours, you may go a little slower and therefore not end up with all the modules.

An ideal situation would be to have all the learning modules sent to you right at the start; the entire thing! This way, nothing can happen down the line which could affect your capacity to get everything done.
