Think about the following facts in detail if you believe the marketing blurb about a guarantee for your exam looks like a reason to buy:

Of course it's not free - you're still coughing up for it - it's just been wrapped up in the price of the package. The fact is that if a student pays for each progressive exam, when they're ready to take them and not before, they will be much more likely to qualify each time - because they are conscious of their payment and therefore will put more effort into their preparation.

Take your exams somewhere close to home and find the best exam deal or offer available then. Paying upfront for exam fees (which also includes interest if you've taken out a loan) is madness. Resist being talked into filling the training company's account with your money just to give them a good cash-flow! Some will be pinning their hopes on the fact that you don't even take them all - then they'll keep the extra money. It's worth noting that exam re-takes through training companies who offer an 'Exam Guarantee' are monitored with tight restrictions. They will insist that you take pre-tests first until you've demonstrated an excellent ability to pass.

On average, exams cost about 112 pounds twelve months or so ago through local VUE or Pro-metric centres throughout the country. So why pay hundreds or thousands of pounds extra to have 'an Exam Guarantee', when any student knows that the most successful method is study, commitment and preparing with good quality mock and practice exams.

It only makes sense to consider learning courses that'll lead to industry acknowledged qualifications. There are way too many small companies promoting unknown 'in-house' certificates which will prove unusable when you start your job-search. From the perspective of an employer, only the major heavyweights such as Microsoft, CompTIA, Adobe or Cisco (for instance) will get you into the interview seat. Anything less won't make the grade.

A lot of trainees presume that the school and FE college system is the way they should go. So why then are qualifications from the commercial sector becoming more popular with employers? With fees and living expenses for university students becoming a tall order for many, plus the IT sector's growing opinion that key company training is often far more commercially relevant, we have seen a big surge in Microsoft, CompTIA, CISCO and Adobe based training paths that create knowledgeable employees at a much reduced cost in terms of money and time. This is done by honing in on the skill-sets required (together with an appropriate level of related knowledge,) instead of covering masses of the background 'padding' that degrees in computing often do - to pad out the syllabus.

Assuming a company understands what work they need doing, then all it takes is an advert for a person with the appropriate exam numbers. The syllabuses are all based on the same criteria and aren't allowed to deviate (as academic syllabuses often do).
