Matt Limb, online marketing executive at Computeach, pointed out that the IT sector is an example of an industry which is currently in need of skilled workers, making training courses seem like an attractive option.
However, he recommended that people take time when selecting a training provider to equip them with improved skills, as some companies are better than others.
'Firstly, anyone thinking of enrolling needs to look into the company's history - does it have a good reputation? What are other people saying about it?' the expert commented.
Mr Limb also recommended finding out if the course can be studied on a flexible basis, as this will allow the IT contractor to gain qualifications at their own pace and without pressure.
In addition, he said that people should investigate a training provider's pass rate, in order to work out the likelihood of them successfully completing the course.
Research from Citrix GoToTraining last month showed 82 per cent of workers believe the opportunity to learn new skills is an essential element of their career development.
