The Top 10 IT Certifications

Why do you need to be a PMP? PMP is one of the top 10 IT Certifications, so you need to earn your PMP certificate ASAP.


The IT job site Dice surveyed 17,000 technology professionals to see which of the many certifications was most beneficial. Clearly, “Not all certifications are created equal in terms of paycheck impact,” wrote Evan Lesser, Director of Dice Learning.

He noted that while nearly half of all technology professionals have at least one certification, a minority attributed pay increases to certification. To some observers, that would suggest that the expense of earning certifications might not pay for itself.

PMP

By earning the Project Management Professional certification, technology professionals prove they have the knowledge and skills necessary to shepherd projects to a successful conclusion, on-time, on-budget, and using the resources allocated. It's a particularly important job today, when companies are beginning to resurrect projects they'd shelved during the downturn, but want them completed as cost-efficiently and quickly as possible. There are currently 1,400 jobs on Dice with PMP certification requested.


MCSE:
Microsoft's Certified Systems Engineers

A +:
This vendor-neutral certification from the trade group CompTIA is a standard for tech-support technicians.

CCNA:
Cisco Certified Network Associates demonstrate their ability to install, configure, run and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks.

MCP
Microsoft Certified Professionals include developers, trainer, system architects and other tech professionals who want to spotlight their expertise with a range of Microsoft technologies.

Network +
The Network+ proves a technician's competency in managing, maintaining, troubleshooting, installing and configuring basic network infrastructures. It's included in certification programs of tech leaders like Microsoft, Novell, Cisco and HP.

CISSP
Globally recognized as a standard for expertise, five years of experience in information security are needed before a professional can earn this certification. Nearly 750 open available career opportunities request this certification.

MCSA
The Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator certification.
It's earned by systems administrators, network administrators, information systems administrators, network operations analysts, network technicians, and technical support specialists, among others.
It will be easier to earn than MSCE, so some people earn this certification before MCSE.

ITIL
The three-tier ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) certification demonstrates the expertise of professionals in tech management. Public and private organizations use the ITIL as compendium of IT operational best practices. You can find ITIL on requirement list of some IT manager jobs.

Security +
The CompTIA Security+ certification demonstrates knowledge of system security, network infrastructure, access control and organizational security.
