Select a certification provider

Certification Providers (Vendors)

You might think there are A LOT of sellers on this page at first glance. Some of you may even be asking what the word “vendor” means! The first people you should talk to about getting qualified are vendors, also known as certification providers. In the world of certifications, “vendor” is just a business term for the companies that give certifications.

The vendors can be very big companies like Microsoft or Cisco that do a lot more than just certifying. They can also be small, independent certifiers like ISACA that only give a few certs. You should always start by choosing a good vendor before you start your journey to becoming certified in IT or another area. But there are so many that it can be scary for newbies.

Why do there seem to be so many?

There are hundreds of tech companies, medical companies, and other certifications in almost every area you can think of in the world of certification. Some companies, like CompTIA, are known all over the world for giving out well-known certificates in areas like basic technology. Some sellers are very specific and may only sell a few things. Most of the time, these companies offer very specific and difficult certifications, like the unique nursing certifications like ACRN, the Red Hat cybersecurity certifications, or the networking certifications. We have papers for every big vendor you can think of, as well as a huge number of smaller ones.

Suppose I choose a provider. How does certification work after that?

Different vendors and certifications have different standards, so there are a lot of different kinds of certifications. For many difficult certifications, you need to have a certain amount of proven work experience, previous certifications, and a deep understanding of the field. In this group are ISACA and other intense certifications. Some credentials are entry-level and only need you to pass a few tests. For example, to get qualified in CompTIA A+, all you have to do is pass the 220-901 and 220-902 tests.

What does licensing have to do with hiring?

Certification is most common in the IT field, since IT relies on methods and information that can be used again and again. Because of how IT works, certifications help companies find skilled workers who have been trained specifically so they don’t have to take the risk of hiring people who aren’t skilled. Potential employers know that certified people have skills that have been tested, and certification can help us show off the soft skills that make us useful in the workplace. There are always new certs needed because technology changes so quickly. As an example, VMware rules the server business, so a certification for virtual machines will mean a lot to potential jobs. If you get CPIM certified with APICS, it can help your business streamline inventory and other management chores. This makes employers want to hire people who are ISO certified. People with these skills can be used in many scenarios, not just IT ones.

Why should I care about getting a license?

Are you mad that going to college takes years and costs a billion dollars? Do you want to change jobs? Would you like to move up in your company? Getting certified is a great way to learn useful skills, show that you have them, and use your gifts and skills to get paid more. Starting certifications can get you $60,000 a year, but it takes work and time. More in-demand certs, like those from Cisco, will easily make six figures. It’s a tried-and-true, tough, but faster and more efficient way to get a job with great pay and truly awesome skills.

How do I begin?

Picking a vendor or certificate source is the next step. Some companies, like Microsoft, are known all over the world and give certifications in almost every subject. Salesforce is one seller that is more focused, but it can get a great spot among some of the best tech companies. A list of relevant tests and some useful information can be found on the certification providers page. This will bring you one step closer to getting your dream job.
