Watch out that all qualifications that you're considering will be recognised by employers and are up-to-date. The 'in-house' certifications provided by many companies are often meaningless. All the major commercial players such as Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA or Adobe all have nationally approved skills courses. Huge conglomerates such as these will make sure you're employable.

The most technically-trained web professionals are normally the web-developers. Along with being proficient in 'HTML', 'XML' & CSS, web-developers will know other respected programming languages like Visual Basic, PHP, 'Java', 'C#' & ASP.net etc. They'll also generally have a strong knowledge of 'SQL' database-technology, as this is how most modern substantial websites store their data. A typical e-commerce web site doesn't have a bunch of web designers who have produced its many hundreds of web-pages in layout form. Rather, a place-holder 'template' will have been developed, & the details will be 'dynamically' fed from a database. So apart from much greater efficiencies with the web site build, this method also provides for a more consistent look and feel as well.

Traditional teaching in classrooms, using textbooks and whiteboards, is an up-hill struggle for the majority of us. If you're nodding as you read this, find training programs that are on-screen and interactive. Many studies have proved that memory is aided when we use all our senses, and we put into practice what we've been studying.

Fully interactive motion videos involving demonstration and virtual lab's will turn you off book-based study for ever more. And they're a lot more fun to do. You'll definitely want a study material demo' from the training company. The materials should incorporate expert-led demonstrations, slideshows and lab's for you to practice your skills in.

Many companies provide just online versions of their training packages; while you can get away with this much of the time, consider how you'll deal with it if you lose your internet access or you get intermittent problems and speed issues. A safer solution is the provision of physical CD or DVD discs which don't suffer from these broadband issues.
