Lessons from the best ICT tutors in Birmingham

In an increasingly digital world, in the era of Web 2.0 where information circulates practically instantaneously, there is no getting around knowing how to use a computer.

Though the very first computers appeared in the 1950s, once personal computers with small screens and various interfaces entered the scene, they took over homes and businesses at an astounding rate. Every day, billions of data units are sent, transferred and saved on servers throughout the world.

Are you living in Manchester and want to learn more about IT and computer science to improve your use of specific computer programmes, learn how to navigate the Internet, do calculations on an Excel spreadsheet or become an expert in computer security?

Using a computer is not as complicated as it seems.

But of course, you need to want to learn and be ready to work hard. Here is a little overview of what awaits you if you decide to take IT courses Manchester.

The Importance of Learning About Computers in the Modern World

Taking lessons in computer programming or software development or simply learning how best to use the office tools available today is similar to learning how to drive a Model T Ford in the 1920s: you are getting access to a revolutionary, innovative piece of technology that has redefined mobility, the economy and the living conditions of most of the population and which stands at the beginning of an exponential progression over more than a century.

All this also applies to the digital revolution starting the 2000s - in many ways similar to the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. With many of the same questions that the Luddites of the times were asking as well: are communication and information technologies - like the increasing automation of industrial advancement - a danger or a tool designed to serve Man?

However you see it, progress has advanced at a such a rate that in the very near future, artificial intelligence might well be taking over the decision-making in many key sector. Soon, an algorithm in a computer programme might well know more about an individual’s mental state than his or her own family.

IT (Information Technology) designates the area of scientific, technological and industrial activity concerning the automated treatment of data by machines ranging from the simple pocket calculator to in-vehicle or embedded systems to a computer, video game console, industrial robot, automaton, interactive checkout system, software solutions, etc.

It is an omnipresent tool in areas necessitating technical competence in science and technology, communications, international data transfers, commerce, state-of-the-art industries, company management - the list goes on.

The IT sector is a significant factor in employment in the UK, generating an important portion of its GDP. Over a million jobs have some link to IT or computer science, and that number is growing. It is one of the job sectors on the market with the least risk of unemployment.

For example, online commerce is booming. Smartphones have become ubiquitous and more and more companies are going digital - whether with online shops, digital-only content or services or simply increased use of digital tools within the office or production line.

Keeping all this in mind, taking beginner computer courses or advanced IT classes can be just the edge you need to stay competitive in today’s job market.

But apart from the purely professional aspect (and all work and no play makes Jack - or Jane - a dull person), learning new IT skills can quite simply be fun - learning C++ or other programming languages is a bit like learning a foreign language such as French or German; taking a web design course can help you pep up your hobby baking blog, finding out how to use accounting software can help balance your own budget, and  the Internet is full of all the fun uses you can put Photoshop or Indesign to.

Being able to use a tool competently and independently, whether it be a Web browser or a music transposition programme, will give you satisfaction and improve your self-esteem. It’s too easy to assume that everyone knows how to take screenshots or use Snapchat. Yet even in the 21st century there are whole swathes of population who did not take part in the digital revolution, whether it be because of their age or lack of access to the necessary technology at school and at home.

This is why it is imperative that computer science be taught in schools, at all levels - or through private tutoring or online computer classes such as those offered in Birmingham and long-distance here on Superprof.

Mastering digital technologies is vital to anyone wanting to major in IT or computer science, or even in sectors such as engineering.

What Jobs Can I Qualify For Through IT Lessons in Birmingham?

Information technology is a growing industry, whether it be in the area of telecommunications, software programming, computer hardware design, repair or data processing, server hosting or website management.

All good reasons to take computer science lessons or learn to code. Whether you apply your skills professionally, just want to code a simple video game for your child or build your own website, more and more aspects of our daily lives can be shaped and influenced by someone with computer skills.

Many of the top employers in the Birmingham region are in desperate need of IT specialists - and they are having trouble recruiting. That means that Information Technology is currently one of the most secure professions out there.

This is in part because it is one of the few sectors where demand actually exceeds supply - there is a great shortage of IT specialists on the world market. Many candidates are also inadequately trained for the posts on offer, while on the other hand companies often have an insufficient understanding of what skills are needed for the task at hand.

So what does this mean for you? A good IT professional should have no trouble finding not only a job suited to their skills but also be able to dictate their own salary - though in some cases they may be the ones explaining to their bosses exactly what their jobs entail.

A number of different professions are available in IT, encompassing information and computer technologies:

Communications assistant

Web marketing and PR

Communications management

Visual communication, graphic design

Information technician, maintenance technician

Computer engineer

Systems engineer

Sysadmin

App designer

Web designer

IT courses Birmingham may be just the catalyst for your vocational retraining and your new dream job.

But why go for a private tutor?

The learning process is optimised as you can be in charge of your curriculum. While it’s always best to listen to your teacher when it comes to what skills you will need to learn in what order, you define your goals yourself:

Do you just want to be able to debug Windows applications yourself or write your own programmes?

Design a simple website for a friend’s wedding or earn money as a web designer?

Use Excel for your home budget or know how to use it to calculate inventory or keep track of overtime?

Use existing accounting software or design your own?

Learn to code C++, java, PHP?

Use existing programmes and algorithms to model a project or code your own rendering software?

Learn to navigate the Internet and use Facebook and Instagram to keep up with your grandchildren or to promote your business?

Keep your data safe with firewalls and antivirus programmes or learn about the best encryption algorithms and VPN solutions available?

Our tutors offer a variety of different courses tailored to your need, from beginners to advanced, for young and old and every age in-between. Their goal is to hone your skills until you don’t need their advice any more.

But how do you go about finding a Superprof?

Choosing Your Superprof IT Tutor Birmingham

Of course, choice is a wonderful thing - until you have to make them. How do you know which tutor will be the right one for you?

Before looking at prices, figure out how much travelling you want to do. If you have to pay to go to the other side of town or waste valuable time on public transport or in the car (depending on what you want to learn, you might need to use your tutor’s computer with the programme already installed until you are ready to shell out the pounds for it), a cheaper tutor might not be worth it. You need to figure out whether you can work at home, if a tutor is willing to come to you, or if you might even be comfortable working together online through Skype and other modern methods of data sharing.

Apart from where your tutor is situated, you will of course want to pay as little as possible. This is perfectly understandable. However, most tutors will base their prices depending on their competence. Computer science students will generally charge less than seasoned industry professionals. But before you dismiss the first, let’s look at a few pros and cons of each:

A student may not be as experienced in the more complex aspects of computer technology, but if you are simply seeking to understand Internet security or learn how to use Facebook, they will be more than adequate. Again, even for more complex programmes, if you are interested only in learning the basics or want to take beginner courses in things like programming or webdesign, students have many advantages besides being more affordable. They are still learning, so they know what teaching methods are most effective. They have learnt the subject matter so it is fresh in their minds. And they are more likely to be up-to-date on the newest versions, apps or coding languages.

On the other hand, if you are looking for more advanced IT lessons, you should prefer an IT professor or industry professional, who has been actively using their skills for many years and know all the ins and outs of the subject matter.

Fortunately, Superprof offers individual profiles for each of our tutors, where you can look up their credentials and read testimonials from other students. What is more, many of our tutors offer their first IT lesson for free, so that you can figure out one final factor before committing to your computer teacher: compatibility. Does the tutor’s teaching style correspond to how you learn best? Do they take your schedule and level of competence into account?

Once you have figured out all these points, simply type what kind of lessons you are looking for into the search bar on the Superprof website, give “Birmingham, UK” as your location, and you are ready to go!
