IMPORTANCE OF IT CERTIFICAION There are myriads of reasons why
you should seek out certification in a number of IT-related
programs, software or skills, but three reasons are key:
Credibility: IT certifications are testaments to your skills and
proficiency in a certain area. For example, becoming a VMware
Certified Professional tells hiring managers, companies and clients
that you have the experience and skills needed to effectively
create, design, manage and maintain a cloud environment. This is
the biggest reason why IT professionals pursue IT certifications.
It helps validate your skills and expertise in your current
job.Credibility: IT certifications are testaments to your skills

work experience for the job. In fact, no matter where you are in
your IT career, certifications will almost always give you an edge
over non-certified IT professionals. IT certifications also make
career advancement more likely. The plain truth is that, in
