Advanced Training has spent the past two years researching the study patterns of many IT professionals. We have found that the majority of Administrators and Engineers self study at home with books purchased at the local bookstore. Our studies show that 87% of the people who had set out to complete a major certification such as MCSE did not complete it.
Of the 13% that did complete the certification, 10% took more than 12 months to do so. Studying at home can be a major challenge. With regular interruptions such as family, friends and TV, it is very easy to be distracted and hard to stay focused. The lack of adequate computer equipment was also found to be a major factor in a poor study pattern and exam performance.
Few people have a network of computers at their disposal, and many who tried to construct small networks at home; few spare their personal computers to practice tasks such as DHCP, DNS and WINS.
The burden of self study proved too strong for
many self paced students. With no outside direction or troubleshooting
assistance, many postponed or delayed their studies. The mentor
program at the core of Blend IT is designed to
help students through the ups and downs of study.
