Why certify?

to have to find a job

Virtually all desirable jobs involve routine use

of computers

Good computer skills help you successfully

complete a degree course

Why certify?

You need “differentiators” on your CV

Appropriate certification proves to potential

employers that you possess the IT skills for

today’s jobs

Non-compulsory certifications demonstrate

motivation and commitment – these are

important to employers
