The significance of certification




The debate of certifications, diplomas, degrees and experience has been going on for a long time and no definite conclusion has been reached. Basically it all comes down to personal preference and the academic and workplace end-goal.

According to Scott Skinger, CEO and Founder of TrainSignal, a lot of hiring managers said IT certifications, hands-on experience and education are the main three factors that catch their eyes.

The question then arises as to why certify when you can get a ‘higher rated’ diploma or degree? The answer is quite straight forward. Certifications are a clear indication of how up-to-date a person’s skills are. Most certifications are reviewed and updated regularly to keep up to date with the technology and business trends in the workplace environment. “In an industry that is constantly advancing, the most valuable employee is one who shows a willingness to continue growing and adapting to a quickly-evolving workplace,” Skinger said.

If you study towards a diploma or degree which take two to three years, the knowledge you have obtained in your first year will likely be outdated. Sure the basic and foundational information taught will still be applicable, but the knowledge of the latest and more advanced technologies and programmes won’t be there. Nothing stops you to certify during your studies or after you have obtained a diploma or degree.

To be considered for an IT position at any company, you will need to have the right combination of education, experience and certification/s. Companies would rather hire someone with a certification, because it gives you recognition. It is a means to stand out in your field with a set of qualifications that demonstrate your commitment to staying current with the very latest technological advances. Also, a company will likely choose a certified professional than a professional without the right certifications. A certification will open the door to a new career since it is proof that you are skilled in a specific area.

Certifications are not only important in the IT industry, but in most other industries as well. Designers need to keep up to date with the latest programme versions, everyone (or mostly everyone) in the office needs to know how the office programmes work, and the list goes on and on.

To certify, or not to certify? It is up to you to decide what you want out of your work life. Just remember if you want to differentiate yourself from the rest of the crowd as skilled on the newest technologies and increase your employability – certification is the way to go.
