NorthernVirginiaTraining.com Predicts Busy Year for Computer Training in 2011

GREENBELT, MD, March 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) NorthernVirginiaTraining.com has experienced an unprecedented number of referral calls and inquiries into Information Technology education and professional certification recently, indicating that 2011 will be a banner year for the IT training industry.

NorthernVirginiaTraining.com is the information hub for everything IT in the region, providing updates on the latest industry trends and referrals to the best training and certification programs Northern Virginia has to offer. The region has a well-earned reputation as one of the country's leading professional IT centers, where several respected training institutions confer a variety of industry-specific certifications.

Information Technology worldwide continues to grow exponentially and 2011 will be no exception. Naturally, a growing industry means a greater need for professionally trained personnel who can provide the IT expertise and support that businesses, schools, and even government organizations need as they navigate what, for many, is new territory.

The most-wanted IT training list changes frequently to keep pace with rapidly morphing technological advances, but class schedules are designed to meet emergent needs in several focus areas, including network configuration and support, information security and protection from hackers, server administration, and project management.

Many businesses are large enough to have a critical need for an IT network but do not have the resources to maintain their own IT departments to design and service such systems. This common situation presents a career opportunity for trained, certified individuals who can perform these tasks as IT service providers. Northern Virginia IT institutes prepare students to meet these needs with such courses as CCNA -- Cisco Certified Network Associate.

According to NorthernVirginiaTraining.com Director Robert Halter, "Employers truly value those employees who continue to increase their skills and knowledge in the industry. Get your certifications, but don't stop there. Continue to soak up all you can." Advanced certification courses, such as CompTIA Network+ -- an internationally-recognized certification for technicians who demonstrate competencies in managing, maintaining, troubleshooting, installing and configuring basic network infrastructure -- can help trained IT technicians build their knowledge for career advancement.

Security of proprietary intellectual property is another key concern for many organizations as they establish and upgrade their information networks. Professional training in IT security is the focus of several course offerings in Northern Virginia technical training centers. CISSP -- Certified Information Systems Security Professional -- and Certified Ethical Hacker are just two of the IT security certifications available.

The IT industry is rich with career opportunities for those with the right training, and new courses regularly provide established IT professionals the chance to update their expertise and advance their careers. NorthernVirginiaTraining.com sources the information individuals need to successfully meet the rapidly developing challenges of an IT career.
