company’s reputation in attracting and

certified IT professional

7. The first and foremost factor that any
organization will give importance to is that an
employee with additional certification will
enhance the company’s professional image.
An employee with strong certifications is viewed
as an asset by an organization and maybe
awarded with challenging project assignments.
Certifications justify your zeal to excel in your
career and give your best performance to the
organization.

8. Employees with entry level certifications may
bear this misconception that their certifications
do not hold much value. However, this actually
helps your employers develop faith in your
skillset and gives you an edge over your peers.
Having advanced level certifications helps you
create a niche skillset for yourself, making you
an expert for that technology. This not only
advances your chances at working on newer and
more challenging projects but also makes you an
asset for your organization.

9. Upgrading your professional skills aids climbing the
professional ladder within your organization.
Certifications add a great value to you as well as
your employers’ professional marketability. Surveys
indicate that employees with additional
certification/s stand a better chance of retaining
their jobs in the organization.
Some Certifications do require recertification after a
certain period of time to ensure that they remain
meaningful and valuable indicators of candidates’
skills. For example MCSE and MCSM certifications
require recertification every three years, while an
MCSD requires to be recertified every two years.

10. Depending on the certification you have
achieved, most of them have an upgrade path
available.
So the learning curve is always on a definite
incline. Certifications add great value to your
earning potential as well.
In addition to these advantages, you not only
add value to your professional profile, but your
organization’s professional profile as well,
especially with respect to your clients.
An organization having certified professionals
acts as a reassurance to clients of handing over
their project to experts.
