If you pass the exam, the company is happy for you to use their logo on your website. This gives you a chance to show customers that you know your business. It also gives you a chance to get jobs with big businesses, who use the tools that you’re trained with. Usually, you can take these tests at a relatively low fee. And, when it comes to a career, it’s worth investing. This sort of qualification will give you direct access to a host of jobs.
  • ITIL: ITIL stands for Information Technology Infrastructure Library. ITIL is a set of standards for operations and procedures, that aren’t company specific. Companies use these standards to carry out their IT tasks in a way that can be used by other companies as well. Taking an ITIL v3 foundation course will give you all of the knowledge you need to start working directly with businesses. This skill is widely ignored by people looking for careers, so it’s a great one to get into early. The demand for people with this knowledge is high, and you can work in a way that suits you.
  • Networking: You’ve probably had to set up a network before. Your home broadband system is a network. But, the networks that businesses use are on a much larger scale. Thankfully, companies like Cisco offer training courses to deal with networking. They cover everything, from the ground up. And, you can choose how much you learn. You will often see networking jobs asking for very specific qualification levels. These are the sort of thing they’re looking for. With a certificate from a major company, you not only show that you understand networking but also the hardware that’s used. The company giving the course has extensive knowledge of the subject, having contributed to it’s evolution. A qualification from a company like this can set you up with a full career, either working for yourself or a larger business.

Hopefully, this will inspire you to start using your brain for tech to it’s full potential. These methods are being used by thousands of people worldwide, and employers love them.
