1 Identify your goals

Before you enroll in any network training course, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and why. Do you want to improve your current performance, advance your career, or switch to a different role or domain? Do you need to update your certifications, learn a new tool , or master a new concept? Having specific and realistic goals will help you narrow down your options and choose the most relevant and valuable network training for you.

Without clear goals you will end up where you plan. Wondering with a clear goal. A clear goal keeps you focused on the goal and helps you not focus on the setbacks. Goals help you to understand what you need to do to gain that next goal.

2 Assess your current skills

Another important step is to evaluate your current skills and identify your strengths and weaknesses. You can use online assessments, quizzes, feedback, or self-reflection to measure your level of proficiency and confidence in different network topics and tasks. This will help you identify the gaps in your knowledge and skills, and prioritize the areas that need improvement. You can also compare your skills with the industry standards and expectations, and see how you can stand out from the competition.

3 Research your options

Once you have a clear picture of your goals and skills, you can start looking for the best network training options for you. There are many sources of network professional development, such as online courses, webinars, podcasts, books, blogs, forums, mentors, peers, and more. You need to research the quality, credibility, and relevance of each option, and consider the cost, duration, format, and flexibility. You can also look for reviews, ratings, testimonials, or recommendations from other network professionals who have taken the same or similar courses.

4 Plan your learning

After you have selected the network training options that suit your needs, you need to plan your learning effectively. You need to set a realistic timeline and schedule for completing the course, and allocate enough time and resources for studying, practicing, and applying what you learn. You also need to set milestones and indicators to track your progress and evaluate your outcomes. You can use tools such as calendars, planners, checklists, or apps to organize and manage your learning activities.

5 Engage in active learning

To make the most of your network professional development, you need to engage in active learning. This means that you need to actively participate in the course, interact with the instructor and other learners, ask questions, share feedback, and seek support. You also need to apply what you learn to real-world scenarios, projects, or challenges, and reflect on your experience and results. You can use tools such as notes, summaries, mind maps, diagrams, or portfolios to document and showcase your learning.

Active learning through your network and other in person experiences will not only build your knowledge but they will also build your networking skills. This compounds the learning that can be accomplished during a more formal training course. The content of the training can be enriched through additional conversations that extend beyond the material presented and provides a means that allows you to learn even more.

6 Seek continuous improvement

Finally, you need to remember that network professional development is not a one-time event, but a continuous process. You need to keep updating your skills and knowledge, and seek new opportunities for learning and growth. You can join professional networks, communities, or associations, and attend events, workshops, or conferences. You can also seek feedback, mentorship, or coaching from other network professionals, and share your insights, tips, or best practices with them.

I agree with the idea of continuous improvement and learning. One of the ways to keep your learning going is to become a mentor to someone. When you guide others on your pathway, you eventually hone your skill and learning. Another way to continue life of learning is by blocking your calendar on regular basis for learning something new. And be stick to it without fail.

Your future is YOUR responsibility. As much as you want your manager to help pave the path for you, they are not obligated to do that FOR you. They may do it WITH you, but you need to be an active participant in how your career pans out. I encourage finding a mentor: Either in your industry or not. The main point is that they are NOT in your chain of command and their objectivity is not limited to performance or direct organizational metrics of your team.
