xela Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I studied IT at uni but have been in teaching for over 5 years, My motivation now is to work and do well in the IT industry, any suggestions of area to concentrate on? I want to start with some professional course but which area of IT has most prospects for the future? I thought cyber security has great prospects, and if that is right, what are the courses I can start with? very confused pls help:bowl:
somabc Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Security does have great prospects. Take a look at Infosec Qualifications
jbt52 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Security is a trending area, but that also means a lot of competition, esp for someone just starting out. If you have very little experience and knowledge, the best place to start is with the CompTIA A+ certification. I tend towards self study rather than classrooms or bootcamps, as they are cheaper, easier and more convenient. You really need to get a good grasp of what areas you are truly best in and love, so that is where you will excel. Try looking at a few different courses to see what suits your fancy so you can narrow down one specific area.
JoeBloggs Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 What did you do at uni? Have you done any other IT work / courses / training? Java seems to pay well and have lots of jobs at the moment
