The Hidden Good Thing About Computer Certifications

The web is covered with stories regarding the benefits of professional computer accreditation, and most of them are supported with wage reviews and so on. While theres certainly nothing wrong with making more money and having better career prospects, theres one advantage of certification that many candidates ignore.

Confidence.

You cant pay your rent with confidence you cant pay for gas with confidence you cant pay for SUCH a thing with confidence, right? So who cares, right?

Wrong. The confidence you build from really gaining a certification, whether its an, CCNA, or CCIE, can't be acquired, borrowed, or stolen. It has to be acquired.

What do I mean by undoubtedly received? First, Im discussing those little papers available broadly speaking referred to as braindumps. If you buy one of those things and happen to skate by way of a certification exam, did you learn any such thing? No. Did you understand anything? No. Are you likely to work on the job? No. Get further on our affiliated portfolio by navigating to a life coach. As I tell my students, when youre standing facing a host or router that isnt operating, and all eyes are you to troubleshoot the problem, the right answer isn't B. There is no multiple choice.

Secondly, Im talking about the hope that the certification you make was earned by going for a challenging assessment.

Now, youre probably thinking ok, Chris has lost his mind. I should HOPE the test is demanding?

Yes, you ought to. Theres nothing more useless than gaining a certification thats easy-to get. Theres no feeling of satisfaction, of achievement moreover, if everyone else has that certification, what benefit are there?

I can speak from experience on this one. Those of you fairly new to the field might never have used NT 4.0, but the MCSE NT 4.0 was the certification that wound up causing a whole lot of harm to the value of professional qualifications. EVERYONE had one. The tests were repetitive and far too easy, there were no simulation questions, and the assessments expected no real hands-on experience.

Consequently, my MCSE NT 4.0 had little importance. I also felt no sense of pride in achieving it.

Thankfully, writers and assessment suppliers seem to have learned their lesson. Cisco examinations are not easy-to pass, and the original Cisco accreditation, the CCNA, needs hands-on knowledge and experience. Microsoft is (finally) putting simulation questions for their certification exams as well, and the MCSE exams have gotten harder as well.

So if you should eventually fail an examination along the way to the most effective and almost all of us just do take into account that if the checks were not challenging, they would have no value.

After all, if it were easy, everyone would be doing it!.
