Worthwhile Certifications

[DigiBanks99]

Hi

Our company is budgeting for training for this financial year.

I am still a junior and my knowledge of the courses and certifications available is quite limited.

What courses would you recommend for someone who develops in C#? Really, any kind of advice would be appreciated

Thanks!

The Microsoft certs of course. The other benefit is that if you get enough of them, your company can become a Microsoft partner, which gives them discounts on software. For this reason, companies find such certifications quite valuable, because it saves them money.

I'd say an English certification perhaps would do wonders

Are you being sarcastic?

If not, what would the point be?

Thanks. Yes, I was looking at the MCSD: Web Applications one as my first option.

Thanks, but that is simple oversight. Human error. It's not like I can't speak English.

You'd be surprised. I've had the (mis)fortune of working with a lot of developers before, and if you see them type like that in e-mails/code comments/wherever, 9/10 times they also speak like that.

Dit was 'n bietjie tong-in-kies sarkasme. Ek kan helemal verstaan dat "this" en "dis" deurmekaar gesit geword het. Ek het nie juis bydra gehad nie, 'n Engelse sertifikaat is net so goed soos enige I.T sertifikaat. Meeste van jou kennis gaan deur tyd en ondervinding opgetel word

Oh how the irony feels so sweet.

Nothing beats a degree. Skip the 1 year short courses and enrol for a BSc at UNISA.

I have a BSc Honns in Computer Sciences already, but thanks.

So you want to do a certificate which means nothing in comparison to a bsc. Okay. Sure.

Any form of Certification is better than none...

Yeah, i would take a degree with far more salt than some certificate.

Dude, I am looking for further training. CPDs. Additional qualifications. You don't just learn once and then you stop. You continue to improve yourself.

There we go with the "my qualification is better than yours" carp again.

 

[semaphore]

Well a bsc. Is better than a certificate, learn to deal with it.

 

[zippy]

Well a bsc. Is better than a certificate, learn to deal with it.

Omg I agree with you

 

[semaphore]

It happens

It also happens that it's not recognised where a Microsoft certification is. Courses for horses, learn to deal with it.
