We talk with Donald Sanders about how to squeeze real, job-ready value out of training and certification, from what to do before class to how to show up once you’re in the room. We share practical habits for learning structured cabling standards faster, testing better, and building a long-term career in the ICT industry without pretending you know everything.

• preparing for training by staying in your lane and building a foundation first
• using skills assessments so employers send techs to the right class
• learning telecom acronyms and vetting sources before you trust advice
• showing up on time, staying present, and keeping an open mind
• asking questions without fear and taking short, useful notes
• jumping into hands-on labs to learn from mistakes safely
• building relationships across companies and learning from peers
• slowing down on exams, reading questions fully, and using your time
• planning a career path before spending big money on credentials
• continuing education between major certifications to stay current
• representing credentials well by saying “I don’t know” and finding the right answer
