The entry-level courses offered by the Computer Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), The Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW) and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSE) programs are excellent starting points for anyone wanting to get a foothold in the industry, but try to combine them with your work experience wherever possible.
Experience and certification in Oracle, Cisco, or SAP provide excellent career paths in IT, while MCSE certification is practically a mandatory requirement for network administrators and architects, helpdesk, support and numerous other IT roles.
The costs involved in higher-level certification in technologies such as Oracle and SAP are comparable to those for full-time tertiary units and generally require both experience and prior qualification in foundation technologies. The ideal path for many of these certifications is employer sponsorship opportunities.
