When it comes to IT certification choices, a certain group of
credentials keeps coming to the fore. If you look at various IT
certification salary surveys or reports on the most sought-after IT
certs, you'll see certain names or acronyms popping up again and again.
Here's an updated list of the best evergreen IT certifications for 2016.
This guide presents some of the top IT certifications as we see them for 2016, based on recent pay surveys in IT, reports from IT professionals about certifications they want or pursue the most, and those that pop up most frequently in job postings online.
To forestall comparing apples to kumquats all of these certs are pretty different, and range from entry- to senior-level in terms of knowledge, skills and experience required to earn them. And we present them here in no particular order with no intention of ranking them against one another.
In the following pages, we take a closer look at some of the top IT evergreen certifications for 2016, including the CCIE, CCNA, CISSP, ITIL and the MCSE. In addition, we'll also review other evergreen IT certs including the Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA), the Project Management Professional (PMP) and the VMware Certified Professional (VCP) certifications. Finally, no list of evergreen IT certs can be called complete without the CompTIA "Holy Trinity," namely the A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications.
If you are thinking about obtaining any kind of IT certification in 2016, chances are that one or more of these evergreen certifications is already on your radar. We hope you'll find the information presented here helpful to boost your understanding of what's involved in chasing one or more of these certs down, and what kind of time, effort and expenditure will be needed to earn one yourself.
