If you'd like to get involved in the web design industry, studying Adobe Dreamweaver is essential for attaining professional qualifications that are recognised around the world. To utilise Dreamweaver professionally as a web designer, a full understanding of the complete Adobe Web Creative Suite (which includes Flash and Action Script) is without doubt a bonus. With these skills, you might lead on to becoming an Adobe Certified Expert or Adobe Certified Professional (ACE or ACP).

The building of the website only scratches the surface of the skills needed though - in order to drive traffic to the site, maintain its content, and work on dynamic sites that are database driven, you'll be required to have further programming skills, like HTML and PHP, and database engines like MySQL. You should also develop a practical knowledge of E-Commerce and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

Several companies will provide a useful Job Placement Assistance facility, to help you into your first commercial role. Often, people are too impressed with this facility, because it is genuinely quite straightforward for any focused and well taught person to secure a job in this industry - because there's a great need for skilled employees.

Update your CV at the beginning of your training though - look to your training company for advice on how to do this. Don't procrastinate and leave it till you've finished your exams. You'll often find that you'll land your first position whilst you're still studying (sometimes when you've only just got going). If your course details aren't on your CV (and it's not being looked at by employers) then you don't stand a chance! If you don't want to travel too far to work, then it's quite likely that a local IT focused recruitment consultancy can generally be more appropriate than a national service, for they're going to know the local job scene.

Do ensure you don't put hundreds of hours of effort into your studies, just to give up and leave it up to everyone else to sort out your employment. Stand up for yourself and make your own enquiries. Put as much resource into finding a good job as it took to get qualified.

Throw out the typical salesperson that recommends a training program without a thorough investigation to better understand your current abilities as well as level of experience. They should be able to select from a large product range so they're actually equipped to give you an appropriate solution. Often, the starting point of study for a student experienced in some areas is often largely different to the student with no experience. For students commencing IT study from scratch, it's often a good idea to ease in gradually, kicking off with some basic PC skills training first. This can be built into most training programs.

Only consider study courses that'll progress to commercially approved exams. There are far too many minor schools pushing unknown 'in-house' certificates that are essentially useless in today's commercial market. From the perspective of an employer, only the top companies like Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco or Adobe (for instance) will make the right impression. Nothing else will cut the mustard.
