Just signed up. I'm looking to do some computer training courses in IT I have a rep from Advent Training (www.adventtraining.co.uk) coming round to discuss possible programs. Has anyone used advent before? Maybe you know a better distance learning company's that would be better for me to look at or train with. I've not had any dealings with IT in my current or previous jobs.

I just blew out the Advent training rep just after reading some posts on the forums. I should've signed up here before I made any plans to have meetings with sales reps.

I'm not french by the way.

Hi and welcome to CF!

There are a *lot* of threads on here about various training companies, and also comparing self-study with trainers.

Hi welcome to CF!

Umm if you looking for comments give our Training and Devlopment a good read im sure you will find plenty on them. Since you making your mind up give this a read - its all about self study which is ALOT like distance learning just cheaper and a lot more risk free.

 

I too had a rep come round from Advent. Usual sales talk. I was gonna sign up but then came on here and read peoples comments. I have decided to learn myself now. I'm purchased Mike Meyers A+ book and his training CDs off Ebay. Cost £35 quid so far. Apparently you learn better and remember the stuff better this way.

They state that they can guarantee a job but read that that is all talk. Went to a recruitment agency and they also agreed that the best way to study is by yourself.

I am worried about gaining experience as its all well and good getting the qualifications but everyone is asking for at least 1 year. I don't even seem to be getting anywhere with junior type positions neither.

 

Hello and Welcome to CF
