Would the following job ad be beneficial or worse off in developing my IT support career further? Considering I currently work as a T1 adviser for an ISP client in an outsourced call centre. There's no room for progression, not on the technical side anyways as we can only work on what is given by clients.

If its a security cleared role that indicates to me lots of investment in the person who gets the job.

 

Are you based in Edinburgh Albert?
If not, there's an identical role here as well, which would suggest it's a new contract.
I'm a little confused by the "Residential training, accommodation not provided". So that's just training then??

 

Albert,

If you enquire about this job then let us know how you got on. I hope I'm wrong and apologies if I am but it might be a trap!

The advert looked familiar, is it this one?
http://cercoitrecruitment.co.uk/index.php/vacancies

I'm sure most members will recognise the "Cerco" name. They might be advertising this as a dummy job to sell you a course. Cerco use to be a TP as well as a supposedly recruitment company but split the company where the training side is now known as Unique IT Training Ltd.

I saw that advert a long time ago when I was looking into TPs so I don't think it's for a specific vacancy but who knows? They may have clients that are constantly asking for these positions to be filled. That's what they told me anyway.

Good luck!
