Career Advancement through eLearning

By CBT Learning Direct

Whether you’re thinking of entering the IT field or an IT professional, e-Learning is right for you. We understand that attending classes and following do it yourself books often fall short for busy professionals. With CBT and online computer training, courses co-developed by vendors including Microsoft and Oracle and approved by Cisco and Comptia are literally at your fingertips.

Continuing education in the IT field is a must. This fast paced ever changing field demands professionals with current skills and expertise. CBT is ideal for both the entry level trainee and the established IT professional. Computer based training programs vary from offerings such as basic certification programs to the latest technologies that allows established professionals to keep pace with the industry.

CD-ROMs loaded with software allow for hands on training at home or at work without the need for attending classes. Who wants to drive to and from class when they can accomplish the same learning in the comfort of their home or office? Fast learners can accelerate their learning while slower learners can take their time until they’ve mastered the program. In an actual class setting this isn’t always possible. Instead, simply install CBT direct to either a laptop or desktop PC and follow the steps. With computer based training, you can learn at your own pace at your own convenience. If you wish to accelerate your learning, you may take Microsoft MCSE boot camp training courses.

Self study books have their place but don’t offer the hands on experience of an interactive CD-ROM. Put simply, using multimedia is much more fun than reading a technical book. The more interesting it is, the more likely you will stick with it. While you use the programs, you will gain knowledge and expertise in the subject matter of your choice. CD-ROMS packed with video instruction, hands on lab simulations, quizzes and practice exams allow you to perform the tasks as you learn step by step. After completing a topic, follow the section reviews to ensure that you remember what you have just learned. After completing a course, repeat the section reviews to identify areas you may need to brush up on.

In addition, CBT computer training contains both pre and post exams as an aid to passing certification tests. Practice the exams on the CD-ROM before going for your certification exam, your confidence and knowledge will help you pass the real thing.

In the fast changing world of IT, the advantages of using e-Learning are numerous. Here are a few CBT nuggets:

  • More free time: No need to attend classes and no commute.
  • Learn when and where you want: You set the schedule that works best for you.
  • Hands on learning: With CBT, you actually perform simulations right on your own computer.
  • Section reviews: Review the material you just learned. This helps keep the material fresh in your mind and also to identify areas you may need to work on.
  • Exams: Practice makes perfect. By practicing the exams on the disc on your own terms you will be ready to pass the formal certification exam later.

Take control of your career by taking advantage of computer based training.

Why Use Microsoft Project?

When it comes to managing projects, a project manager must juggle dozens of functions and hundreds of tasks. He must also stay on budget, meet deadlines, and keep everyone from team members to stakeholders informed along the way. In addition, charts and schedules must be made, milestones reached, and progress monitored. Fortunately, software products such as Microsoft Project are available to make his job easier.

This software is complex due to its sheer scope, making Microsoft Project Training an absolute must. The time spent learning about the software pays off. Not only does Project help in developing and managing schedules, it also allows project managers to work more productively right away, leverage existing data through integration with Microsoft Office, communicate more effectively, build professional diagrams and charts, gain more control over finances, access required information faster, and track projects more efficiently.

Managing projects without software is possible though doing so is less than desirable. Just as the typewriter has given way to word processing software, project management has been modernized with applications such as MS Project. Flexible tools that allow centralized management make it much easier to plan, analyze, manage, and control projects of all sizes.

Play “what if” scenarios within Project to see how changes will affect the project without risk. Multiple “undo” levels make it easy to go back to the original scenario. Robust reporting and communication tools keep everyone informed and on track. Visual highlights, cell highlighting, symbols, and color coding enhance the software allowing project managers to convey additional meaning.

To get the most out of this powerful project management software, training is required. Microsoft Project 2003 Training covers the 2003 edition of the software while the 2007 version is covered by Microsoft Project 2007 Training. It’s important to make this distinction because the 2007 edition has been redesigned.
