What training do u IT guys/gals get?
#1
Just wondering if and what sort of IT training you people get on behalf of your company?
I've been with mine nearly a year now and basically have received sod all . I do perform a fairly critical role for the company. I often use software thats fairly tricky to use but have received bugger all training even though I've no experience of it....I have coped but it's a constant battle sometimes when i know that there easier ways to do things....
Just wondering why the non training stance when I read about other IT bods getting training, and people within my dept. have had training too.
Opinions please. P45 in post ? Scared I'll get too qualified and do one (hope not cos thats not my intention whatsoever)? If you face dont fit etc?
Come on IT managers/professionals alike...what do ya reckon?

been at this job nearly 5 years
only training i have had is out of work hours studying
i do get time off to go to take the exam if i need it, and get the books bought for me - but no courses or that...

What do we get? Whatever courses are relevant to our jobs. At the moment that means MS courses in W2K track and backoffice products we're using as well as VBS scripting and AD stuff for future projects.
And sorry no, we're not recruiting!

In 3 years at my last company I went on about 5 courses (PC hardware and troubleshooting, Advanced Hardware, Windows 2000 Admin, Exchange 2000 Admin, Lotus Admin) and in 4 months at my new company I have already been on one (Novell Admin) and the next is on the cards soon (CCNA).
Both of the companies I have worked for are very into training staff, which is good
