What are the IT Certificate available for you to earn? This lesson provides you with the many IT Certificate names available to prepare you for the work world. IT Certificates may be earned separate from or while you earn an Associate (2 year) or Bachelor (4 year) college degree. IT Certificate courses can last from one week to one year, depending upon the skills learned.

According to Robert Half Talent solutions —When a tech recruiter is evaluating your resume, they start by looking at your certifications. Why? Because they want candidates with up to date skills. IT certificates quickly show employers a person’s skills — from help desk basics to complex cloud environments. Recent graduate or tech specialist with work experience may earn a certificate to expand skill sets, impress employers, and stand out from the crowd.
