Many times you dont get jobs in a few months. It normally takes between 6-12 months before you can get a job. Consider yourself lucky if you get anything before. Also if you dont have experience you will be in the bottom of the resume pile in HR. So you need to work on your experience and look out for any options that persons can help you. This is my 2 cents here.

You may also Do ITIL since it is standard that alot of private companies are adopting, Along with some other certification such as network plus. Depending on the area you are looking to get employed

Thanks for the advice so far but due to lack of funds they cant go on to get any certs as yet. They do have some training for CCNA (but no cert as yet). Anymore advice or any recommendations where they can apply to get some experience and be able to further themselves?

try some of the IT tech companies like Fujitsu, Infotech, Digi-Data, Massy (yes, pay will not be great, but you need the experience and exposure) in the field 15 years now and i started as a driver/technician earning monthly the same amount we would spend at one carnival fete

Wagos Limited was looking for a tech recently....they deal with POS systems..

Once you start with one tech comp, network yourself and let your work, behavior and work ethic do the rest....once its good, you will begin to move up

It is better to do certs and gain experience than doing a degree or diploma in IT.

Also Network and Telecom in UTT is not part of their NETD.

NETD in UTT lands you jobs in respected companies with much larger pay. Thats what you do if you want wuk in T&TEC, Petrotrin and thing. UTT does even get you the wuk there. NETD grants you entry into UWI for BSc in Computer Engineering etc, NETD is on a totally different playing field than the computer courses offered at UTT.

Offcourse NETD all require lots of studying in maths and physics. Its much harder than IT so yeah.

I know the benefits of the certs but no funds for the exams so even an internship or technician job just until they could afford the exams

And a bit confused because on the exam papers (all) had NETD on them and it was required to write that under program. I thought this meant it was NETD. As for the maths there was four levels and closest to physics was engineering science.

That is interesting, far as I know the computer diploma never fell under NETD same way the computer diploma is not supposed to give you access to the BASc in Computer Engineering at UTT since that degree is heavily focused on maths and physics. But offcourse UTT takes anybody regardless of qualifications.

If you look at requirements for entry to do the NETD diplomas all NETD Diploma requires pass in Physics and Chemistry etc at CXC. While the computer networking diploma does not.

UTT often confuses these courses, so this could be why you saw NETD. There is nothing Engineering about the computer diplomas there so there is no reason it should fall under NETD. UWI does not respect the computer diploma either since there is little focus on maths and physics.

NETD diplomas are recognized by the Board of Engineering of Trinidad and Tobago while UTT degrees are not. They really are a totally different playing field, NETD diploma in Electrical Engineering at UTT has more weight than UTT's own BASc Degree in Electrical Engineering. So that should give you an idea.
