Certifications That Matter In today’s tough job market, a degree is no guarantee that you will get a job. Industry has increasingly turned to nationally recognized certifications to prove skill competency.

Why do I need to get certified? A recent survey which was published by Wired Workplace found that 56% of IT professionals who completed a certification saw a salary increase or bonus and 29% received a promotion. Another study by DICE (an online career hub) found that professionals not only found it easier to obtain work once they were certified, but they were frequently offered higher salaries (as much as 16% higher). What does this mean to you? Nationally recognized certifications convert directly to job opportunities and higher pay.
