In recent years, the IT industry has become a highlight with bright prospects. Many people tend to take IT-relevant certification exams. In general, more people take a wide range of computer exams in order to garner certifications with high value and to enhance competitiveness. Then, what exams can programmers take? Here, we will introduce some highly valuable IT certifications.
1. Microsoft Certifications such as MCSE, MCDBA, MCAD/MCSD.
Microsoft certifications including the directions of management, database, and development are quite useful. For instance, MCSE is very useful for maintaining and managing LAN. However, working in actual network companies, you also need to learn the technologies of CCNA and CCNP expanding from LAN management to WAN management. Such technologies as routing, switching, remote access, and network troubleshooting are more pragmatic. CCNP certification is the paramount factor considered by enterprise recruiters.
2. IBM Certification
The common directions include e-commerce, database, mainframe, and development. You can check the exam information on IBM’s official websites, or the websites of Prometric and VUE (Two national certification exam centers where the introduction to other certifications can also be found).
