Hi due to my current predicament of not really having much in the way of prospects and really just going where the wind takes me so to speak I am looking to get into a career or at least improving my chances of going up in the pay grades/getting a permanent role for when I am spent (2.5 years away with the ROA reform)

I was looking into IT Field support/Network support, help desk support (prefer hands on than coding all day) or business admin.

I am not really looking for a degree at the moment until I have a more secure job so no OU for me (currently doing helpdesk non IT work on a temp basis) a few questions for the IT guys/girls on the board if I went into field support support what are the chances you would have to be enhanced checked is this a normal thing for field support thinking of companies that provide services for NHS and schools, what kind of qualifications are best recognised for these IT roles seems to be a minefield and every job site seems to have their preferred qualifications.

The admin stuff I am not sure about yet as I not sure what area would interest me.

Could anyone recommend any sites for doing distance/online learning.

Thanks
