Really depends on what you're doing for work, if you're looking for a new job, etc. A lot of time if you have years of experience, certs are a bonus. If you're young and without a ton of experience (like me), certs may be the only way that employers will take you seriously.
Haha im 18, And Starting work with a Networking Company Next Week since i impressed them with my trial period ...
Just Wondering if the MSC's are worth much if anything.
Oh yeah, certifications are always good when you're just starting in the IT world. I would start with A+ and Network+ certifications before you do Microsoft or Cisco though. Microsoft ones are rough. You can usually find practice questions online, Microsoft might even have a practice test on the website somewhere.
Yeah start with CompTIA A+ certification. Believe me it is way easier now then when I took it. When I took it you had to know DOS and 9X. I think it is just XP up now, plus hardware questions.
Sample Questions
Here's a link to their practice questions for A+ certification. Just remember you have to renew every few years now, not like back in the day when it was good for life.
Thanks Devux
Im just looking for Something to Work for Whilst Working, so i can still learn and Get Certs When i start this new Job
Not a problem. I feel ya'. Have to keep learning, and ~try~ to keep up with technology, otherwise you get left behind. If your new job is cool they may even pay for your certification exam expenses. Companies love to see that you wanna keep learning.
Thats the Thing they Gave me the Learning Materials for Windows 7 Exam and The WIndows server 2008 R2 Exam
SO thats what i think they want me to learn, and they aint exactly cheap books :P
Wow! That's awesome, yeah if they are willing to give you the study books for the exam, they may just pay for the exam too. That's cool they've invested that much with you so far.
