Introduction
ОглавлениеIf you are reading this you are probably thinking about obtaining technical certification and I suspect you are hoping that at least one immediate benefit of obtaining a technical certification is that it will enable you to make more money than you are currently making. I can tell you from my personal experience that this will only be the first benefit.
Certification will make you more money!!!
My name is Paul Dwyer and I am a Microsoft ® Certified Trainer. I do not work for Microsoft but as a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) I am allowed to teach over fifty different courses for which Microsoft has already designed and packaged all the materials, including labs, for teaching computer professionals. These courses are taught at Microsoft Certified Educational Centers all around the world. If a company is a Microsoft Certified Partner they can also teach courses as well. Most of the times these companies teach the courses on their sites but sometimes they arrange to teach the courses on the sites of their clients.
Just recently I taught a 3 day Microsoft VB Scripting course from my home using GotoMeeting and other technology. All the technology was provided by a Microsoft Learning Center and the course materials were provided free from Microsoft. Working from home those 3 days I earned nearly $1600. Would you like to be working for yourself rather than working for your boss? Would you like to be making from $400 a day to $1100 a day? Do the math!! On a regular basis over the course of a year that’s over $100,000 a year!!!
Would you like to have complete control over when you work and when you don’t work or take vacation? Would you like to not spend a single penny on marketing yourself and still have people contacting you about a need for your services? Welcome to the world of technical training and welcome to the quickest way to leverage your technical certifications. In order to become a Microsoft Trainer you need a Premier Microsoft Certification.
Currently there are four main areas of Microsoft certification:
1.Database Technology
2.Server Administration
3.Application Development
4.Desktop Applications and Support

Aside from becoming a Microsoft trainer you can leverage you certifications from other vendors like Cisco, Citrix or Oracle to become trainers for those vendors. You can simply stay where you are or look for better paying jobs with another company. One thing is for sure.
Certification will get you noticed!!!
Many prospective employers are always looking for good ways to distinguish one job candidate from another. Certification is often listed as either a requirement or “desirable” in many technical specifications for jobs. The market place for IT jobs has become increasingly competitive. Certification will help you stand out from the crowd.
