Static IT Job Market in Australia
In Australia it is TAFE ? (Technical and Further Education) that provides IT Training and CISCO Accreditation in what I am increasing finding is a static IT Job market. I.e. Jobs available only go to those already employed in the industry. Offerings of traineeships are rare so this means you have to skill up on your own time and dime so now after reading this article I worry if I enrol in CCNA 1& 2 I will have devoted nine months and $4,000.00 AU minimum to something is becoming devalued? I maybe better off relying on the competition of a Bachelor of Applied Computing with an advanced diploma in networking security this semester so as to enter the job market rather than padding my resume with CISCO Accreditation. So I guess what I really am asking is what are the key differences of CISCO Accreditation over a Diploma of Networking, Why should I want it apart from international recognition? Diploma Networking includes at a basic minimum:
