The above is just one example of the benefits of certification. To be competitive in today’s job market, a degree is helpful but is not the all-encompassing answer that it once was. Certification is highly desired and I encourage you to include one or more certifications in your professional development plan. A+, Network+, Security +, CCNA, Linux + and iNet+ certification preparation courses are offered through Iowa Central Community College.
