FAQ's
Why do I need training?
A trained workforce gives companies a strategic and tactical advantage over the competition, whilst individuals benefit by having a set career path and opportunities for professional growth, leading to increased earning power and job satisfaction. In this market, where there is often little difference between one company's pricing and products and another's, the expertise of employees is being used as the main marketing tool. Training is critical if you want to keep up with technological advances, new equipment, newly published standards and to take advantage of the global opportunities. Increasingly everyone working in the communications sector is required to provide proof of their competence, skill and knowledge, and only continuous training can provide this proof.What qualifications do I need?
There are no right or wrong qualifications, however they are becoming a pre-requisite within the comms. sector. At CNet we offer as many qualifications on each course as possible. By 'mapping' qualifications across our courses we offer the opportunity for delegates to gain the most from their training. Thus on some of our programmes you will be able to gain more than one qualification as well as BICSI continuing education credits - a requirement for BICSI members to retain their membership.
