Self-study is ideal for basic IT skills both for learning and on your resume when it comes to getting a job. As you build your skills and advance your career there comes a point where you need Hands-on training to learn the material properly. You also need the credentials that Hands-on training gives you on your resume.
When do you need to move from self-study to Hands-on? As you advance, the skills become harder but from a learning standpoint it depends on how hard you want to work with self-study and your own learning ability. You will know when you need the extra help that Hands-on provides when you find it hard to fully understand the skills through only self-study.
From the standpoint of your resume and how an employer views your training, at some point employers begin to require hands-on training or, if you self-study, they require work experience. You begin to need a job to get the experience required to get a job (Catch 22).
Getting a job as a Cybersecurity Analyst is a great example of where employers want experience gained through Hands-on Training in a live SOC environment. Don’t be fooled by training using “simulated SOC Training” only counts as experience if you train on a live SOC.
