     Jumpstart your information technology career with certifications to prove your knowledge.

If you are fascinated by the world of technology and are interested in pursuing a career in the field of information technology, certification can be very beneficial. IT certification is typically essential for even entry-level positions in the information technology industry. No matter if you want to work in general IT administration or networking, passing your certification exams is key to success. Certification speaks for itself. If you have the certificate, all potential employers know you have the knowledge certification signifies.

Advanced IT certifications can even be used in lieu of formal education and/or experience: the IT industry, more so than any other industry, tends to value certifications and experience.

The three primary types of IT certification include Cisco, Microsoft and Comp TIA. While there are many other types of certification provided for specific vendors or programs, these three types of certification are the most highly regarded by the majority of major employers. While Cisco and Microsoft are vendor specific, Comp TIA provides a broader certification to substantiate an understanding of entry-level core concepts.

For individuals that wish to follow a career path in Microsoft, certifications include server administrator, development, IT technical support and special courses in a wide variety of core products in the Microsoft Line. Cisco focuses primarily on networking while Comp TIA provides server side troubleshooting techniques, development and networking credentials. Other specialties such as healthcare IT or Linux+ certifications are available for those following other career paths. Candidates will find that their choice of certifications likely depend on the type of position you are seeking.

Some very good advice, especially for those young people who are technology savvy but not savvy about what it takes to get work in the IT industry. Also great for people who have lost their IT jobs through obsolescence and need to refresh their skills in order to move into new fields.

On the other hand, although I have several certifications, I've found that in order to be a IT professional, one needs to have an overall understanding of many things involving computing that this over specialization and reliance on tests learned by memorizing the answers may get one a job, but does not move the industry forward. What I'm trying to say is being able to pass a technical test does not make one an IT innovator. Rather, it makes one a person who follows the lead of others when it comes to IT development. I doubt if Steve Jobs and Bill Gates ever got certified in anything.
