What IT certifications does everyone here have and how long have ya’ll been in your IT field? Thinking about taking some courses at a local college and touching up on my skills. Never a bad thing to have them to put on a resume.

 

I would consider training outside of college specifically for a certification. What type are you considering? A+, Oracle, Microsoft, MCSE, Network, Security, CISA, CISM, CISSP?

For now, the only requirement for US Government jobs is Security+. I have that cert. It is very informative and teaches you alot. Majik can testify to that .



Unfortunately, they've now moved to a 3 year recertification. I got my certification within 2 days of the final Lifetime certification for Security+.



I don't work in "IT" per-sae... I'm an Electronics Tech. I work with medical equipment and computers are part of my job.



I do see code literacy as a required thing in the future. Learn security and learn some code. This will teach you the dangers and the ways to fix them, then if required you can come up with a totally new way to fix them.
