IT Certifications for Career Changers in 2015

A common observation from experienced IT/IS industry veterans is that the only constant in their profession is change. The statement is usually in reference to the creation and adoption of new technologies, which almost always results in new capabilities, new processes and new risks.

Change, however, is also a constant for IT industry workers when it comes to their jobs, particularly when it comes to the type of work they are doing and who they are doing it for. Sometimes the change experienced by IT professionals is compulsory; this industry is no stranger to layoffs, restructuring and off-shoring. This volatility requires an IT worker to keep old skills fresh, while adding new skills based on the evolving requirements of their current (or future) employer.

That said, a lot of the employment volatility in the IT industry is attributable to career changers. IT professionals have a reputation for looking for different work opportunities regularly, sometimes in related but unfamiliar disciplines, within the industry. In particular, IT workers are not prejudiced against so-called "lateral moves," taking a new job that is on par with a current position in terms of compensation and corporate standing. For IT pros, a lateral job move that gives them an opportunity to learn new skills and use previous talents in a new way, is a win.

Which IT certifications for which IT professional?
IT certifications can offer career changers a way to gain knowledge and accreditation in a new technology field, without the time and financial commitments demanded by a full degree program. Earning a certification acts as a statement of intent to a hiring manager or the head of a different internal department, that a candidate is serious about making a professional transition.

Since career changers likely won't have significant experience in the field they want to move to, they should start by looking at relevant foundation-level certifications. Many mid-level and higher certifications have specific job experience requirements that career changers are unlikely to meet. These higher credentials should be bookmarked for later consideration.

Of course, the best IT career change is one that transitions the switcher into a thriving technical field. A lateral move into an area of information technology that has become stagnant, or (worse yet) is in decline, isn't a sound strategic decision.

Using the "2014 IT Skills & Salary Report" from Global Knowledge, and Windows IT Pro as a guideline, we've identified three highly active IT areas, and linked one or more relevant industry certifications to each. If you're considering a career change within the industry (or looking at entering the IT industry from another career path), the following information can help you narrow down which certifications are associated with the functional area you wish to join.

Another point of interest: most of the certifications listed in the following sections were cited in the "Top Paying Certifications" table in the "2014 IT Skills & Salary Report", linking them to potentially stronger earnings potential.

Microsoft Specialist
Microsoft has its own server virtualization solution and a related certification for it. The Microsoft Specialist certification in Server Virtualization covers the creation and management of virtual servers using Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center. As with other Microsoft Specialist certifications, the Server Virtualization designation can be earned by passing a single exam.

IT infrastructure
The structure and management of IT departments has undergone significant change over the last decade. Businesses and governments have both looked to achieve a balance between reducing costs, and maintaining an established level of productivity and quality of service.

Our IT Training Courses

Professionals in the tech industry are constantly learning new skills and technologies to keep up with the latest trends. Completing focused, formal training can help those who wish to advance or move into a new area of technology. Here, browse popular training courses and programs that are available today.


Databases
Formal training can help turn IT professionals into certified DBAs, savvy about systems from Oracle, IBM and Microsoft.


How does a bank update your checking account information instantaneously when you pay a utility bill online? How are you able to track the delivery of a parcel containing your new purchase from an electronics factory in Asia? And, how do online retailers know exactly what items you might be interested in purchasing, based on what you've browsed and bought before?

The answer to all of these questions is: somewhere, a database administrator has done their job.

Database administrators (DBAs for short) tackle challenges like these and other critical functions on a regular basis, placing them among the tech elite in many organizations. The relational database has been a tool of the public and private sectors for decades, but the growth of Internet commerce, social networking and online government-citizen interaction over the last two decades has resulted in an explosion of database growth, activity and expanding functionality.

This explosive growth has had a direct impact on the demand for DBAs. It has also created a subset of data management specialties which all stem from the field of database administration.

It takes an extensive amount of IT training and experience to join the prestigious ranks of database admins. But, the effort can result in a highly-rewarding and fulfilling career path.

Enterprise Solutions
From QuickBooks to Lotus, project management to ERP, pros who enhance their corporate experience with enterprise solutions training might open doors to new career options. Learn more about your enterprise solutions training options here.

Enterprise Resource Planning software (ERP) has its origins in the 1960s, when increasing quantification of manufacturing, especially automotive manufacturing, led to the development of several distinct philosophies for inventory control, scheduling, purchase orders and more. By the 1990s Gartner had coined the term ERP to describe the various software suites designed to monitor and manage all these different manufacturing processes.
Help Desk
Help desk courses qualify IT professionals to support end-users on Microsoft and Apple operating systems, as well as a variety of proprietary products.

A cabinetmaker in business since 1986, Paul Downs expertly handles almost all the tools in his workshop. But in a 2010 New York Times blog post, he admitted there are eight key tools that flummox him: his business computers. To keep his four Macs and four PCs operating smoothly while running up-to-date programs that meet his needs, Downs requires the help of an information technology (IT) support professional.

Microsoft Office
Find out why so many professionals gain official training in Microsoft Office, and learn why mastering the various suite applications can take some of the work out of the workday, here.

You know Microsoft Office is the world's most popular productivity suite, but you might not realize just how dominant the software bundle is--and how an advanced knowledge of Office can help prospective workers land employment or advance an existing career. A May 2011 search of CareerBuilder.com found 27,614 job listings mentioning Microsoft Office or MS Office, with sentences like "An individual should have knowledge of standard Microsoft Office Applications" and "Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)" appearing in job postings ranging from Blast Furnace Account Manager to Vice President Knowledge Management/Brand Development.

Microsoft Technical
Microsoft reports that two-thirds of IT managers believe professional certifications improve the level of support and service offered to their customers. Explore how Microsoft technical training can help improve your professional options and prepare you for certification.

Vendor certifications play an important part in the IT world, and Microsoft sets the industry standard. Training to gain proficiency in Microsoft products and technology allows professionals to get up to speed on the essential tools that hiring managers value today. Whether students come to technical training programs after completing a degree program or on their own, Microsoft technical courses offer a valuable service--so valuable, in fact, that the software giant claims its certification reduces downtime by 20 percent and makes teams 28 percent more productive.
Networking and Security
Networking and security training helps professionals combine existing job experience with the certifications necessary to protect company, school and government systems from cyber attacks. Learn more about the training that can prepare professionals for networking and security certs here.

Information assurance (cyber security) continues to be one of the most valued and critical elements of every individual's and organization's digital assets. Currently, our personal information seems to be under constant attack; everything from the photos on our smartphones, to the credit card numbers kept on file by the merchants we buy from, to the income tax and medical records stored by our governments, is all being sought out by criminals looking to capture and exploit this data.

Blogs and Social Media
It is becoming increasingly common for websites to reach out beyond static pages and information with many business owners authoring their own blogs and cross promoting via Facebook and Twitter. If you are looking for anything from simple Wordpress installation to a full branding across all social media networks, we can manage the whole process.

Blogs
If you are looking to have your own blog either as a standalone resource or as an extension to a business or personal site, we are able to host, install, configure and theme the blog software of your choice. If you are using our CMS system then we are able to include blog functionality directly integrated, if not then we would strongly recommend Wordpress as this is fast becoming the industry standard for blogging.

Having a blog can bring many benefits to both the individual and business as it allows frequent, easy updates of both important and trivial information in a format easily digested by search engines. Having a blog allows you to communicate news and ideas to your clients or followers and with comments enabled, allows a good way to collaborate and share feedback with them.

Typically, installing Wordpress would involve :
  1. Suitable hosting (either as part of your main website if compatible) or on a standalone server which we can provide.
  2. Installation and configuration of the Wordpress software - we can take care of the whole process for you.
  3. Theming or branding the Blog. This can be as simple as adding your logo to an existing blog template or as elaborate as developing a custom theme based on your existing website or a completely new idea.
For more information please contact us with your requirements

Social Media
If you are looking to expand your influence into the Social Media arena with Facebook or Twitter, we are able to provide a number of ways to help with this.

On the most basic level, we can integrate feed information from your existing Facebook, Twitter or other accounts with your website to show your visitors all the latest information.

On a more advanced level, if you are using a blog or news system on your website, we can link this together with your Facebook / Twitter pages so that when you perform an update on your main website, your social media pages are updated automatically.

One thing that is important (particularly for businesses) is to have consistent branding across your website and your other information sources. To that effect we can produce graphic or HTML elements to be used when customising your social media pages to provide real cohesion to the end user whilst working within the constraints imposed by the third party site.

For more information please contact us with your requirements

Forums
If you are looking for a way to communicate and collaborate online, a Forum can be a good choice (although it does require time and effort to maintain). SEUNSMITH NETWORKS INNOVATION are able to configure your Forum software as either part of your main site or as we would recommend, as a standalone site.

Setting up a forum is a similar process to configuring a blog :
  1. Establish suitable hosting - we would recommend a standalone server which we can provide.
  2. Installation and configuration of the forum software - we can take care of the whole process for you.
  3. Theming or branding the Forum. This could be simply adding your logo to an existing theme or developing a custom theme to your requirements.
For more information please contact us with your requirements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logos and Diagrams
If you are looking for a company logo or re-brand or need a specific graphic for your site such as a map, chart or product illustration, our professional illustrator can provide just what you need.

Logo Design
If you are a start-up business or an existing business seeking new branding for your website or corporate image, we are able to provide a high quality logo design service producing finished logos in both print and web format. For further information, please contact us.
          
  

Diagrams and Graphics
If your project requires illustrated content or the treatment of photographic images, SEUNSMITH NETWORKS INNOVATION have a fully experienced Illustrator on-board to produce anything from maps and graphs to illustrations and photographic montages. 

A bespoke Illustration can enhance your web site or presentation by providing a unique and tailored image unobtainable from clip-art or stock photography. For further information, please contact us.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-Commerce
If you intend to sell a product or offer a subscription service from your site SEUNSMITH NETWORKS INNOVATION can create an e-commerce system tailored specifically to your needs.

If you intend to sell a product or offer a subscription service from your site, you will generally need to integrate an online ordering system (shopping cart system) with a secure credit card payment system. SEUNSMITH NETWORKS INNOVATION can create an e-commerce system tailored specifically to your needs with (if required) a management system which will allow you to update the product catalogue yourself via a standard web browser. 

Our bespoke e-commerce systems can include:
  • Shopping cart applications
  • Product catalogues
  • Online credit card payment*
  • Online invoicing and stock control
  • Data capture
  • Subscription password allocation and access authorization
  • Payment Systems for sites selling a single product
If you would like more information, please contact us and we will be happy to provide any advice you may need.

We do not generally use any off-the-shelf products for e-commerce systems as we believe that these cannot offer the level of customization often required.
