The top courses to help get you hired February 2019

So, January is finally over.

And how’s 2019 stacking up so far? Have you managed to stick to that rigorous new exercise routine you set yourself, got back in control of your finances after Christmas – and found yourself well on the way to learning something new?

Well, one out of three isn’t bad.

To help you get at least one of your resolutions back on track, here are three new things you could learn this February.

 

Digital Marketing

Where would the world be without great marketing? Well, you probably wouldn’t be reading this article, for one.

In fact, marketing impacts just about every aspect of our lives – from the products we buy, to the media we consume. As a result, experts in the field are always in high demand. And becoming an expert may actually be easier than you might think.

The Learning People are offering you the chance to sign up for their Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing all throughout February. Not only does it cover a wide range of key marketing principles, such as SEO, social media marketing and marketing strategy, it’s also DMI accredited.

The Digital Marketing Institute, or DMI for short (N.B. start getting used to acronyms), are global leaders in marketing training. They’ve certified more professionals to a single digital education standard than any other certification body.

In other words, you’re in good hands.

Web Design

Hate the way this site looks? We may have found your true calling.

This Web Design course will teach you everything you need to know about coding, helping you learn how to put together great looking web pages quicker than you can say Ruby on Rails.

Modules covered include everything from SQL and HTML, through to learning how to develop your own web applications. And it’s not just about developing your own sites.

With a predicted shortfall of 850,000 IT jobs in Europe alone by 2020, there’s never been a better time to become a pro coder.

And with a syllabus approved by PayPal, Accenture and MasterCard, this training will get you ready to take full advantage of this upcoming skills gap – not to mention give you the ability to apply for a wide range of Junior Developer positions as soon as it’s been completed.

Finally, a Python* you don’t have to be scared of…

IT Security

When it comes to job titles, they don’t come much better than Ethical Hacker.

It essentially means you have a free pass to search a site for security breaches, finding inventive ways in which viruses and malware might be able to break through. But, instead of committing a criminal offence, you actually get paid for it.

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, this Premium IT Security Bundle could definitely be for you.

From hardware and software, to networking and security, this collection covers it all. It also includes a whole hatful of globally recognised certifications, like CompTIA and CISCO – which could open the door to positions right across the UK, and beyond.

Incredibly lucrative positions, we might add. In fact, you could earn anything up to £70,000 with these qualifications under your cyber security belt.

And with the cost of companies losing their data at an all-time high, it’s not hard to see why.

What do I need? An active interest in tech (and a desire to use your powers for good, not evil).

How long will it take? 6 months.

Perfect for: People who have moved beyond setting their password as ‘password’.
