1.) How
can organizations and vendors change their certification programs to test for
skills as well as core knowledge What issues might this introduce?
A
company with a Windows Server network might run ad for a systems integration
engineer and require a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer(MCSE) certification
. a company that uses Siebel customer relationship management software might
require a new hire to ave a certification in the latest version of Siebel.
2.) What
are the primary arguments against certification, and how can certifying bodies
change their programs to overcome these shortcomings?
IT
workersargued that testable IT knowledge does not necessarily translate into quality
IT work. To overcome this shortcomings, SAP has built alliances with some 900
universities around the wglobe to deliver training and certify additional resources
and also while there is no universal call for certification examination
procedures that answers all needs within the IT progression, certifying bodies
are beginning to adapt their programs to better fulfill the evolving needs for
certification IT.
3.) What
are the benefits of certification? How might certification programs need to
change in the future to better serve the needs of the IT community?
Employers
use certification as a hiring gate for entrylevel positions and for jobs that
require specific core knowledge. Also, employers use certification as a means
of training emplyees nd increasing skill levels within the company. Certification
programs need to change in the future to better serve the needs of the IT
community like changing IT certification examination. Other organizations are
catching on. Sun Microsystem requires the completion of programming or design
assignments for some of it’s certification.
