Two years ago, when people mentioned CompTIA£¬they would always feel people who received this certificate were very great, who often become the focus of the eyes. Today, however, when you asked a friend of IT industries whether he has CompTIA Project+ certification, he may scream: "Why should I learn so abusive CompTIA Network+? There are many IT certifications, and the companies have not recognized it when you find a job.¡± This kind of reaction forces us to envisage the present state of IT certification, and is IT certification really that worthless?

The so-called IT certification was initially the major manufacturers for the purpose of promoting their own products, cultivating a large number of technical personnel who can provide their products with skilled technical assistance. The levels of these certificates are gained by passing examinations of examinees. Generally, it is done by taking standard examination. Similar skill authentications cover most fields of IT. Generally speaking, the people who have obtained the product technical certification can be acknowledged by companies and the employing units. Of course, people who have obtained relevant certificates will have a correspondingly better salary. And people who obtained a higher level of product technical certification will have a qualitative change in salary.

From the learning system point of view, many IT Authentication carry out the ¡®two in one¡¯ method of combining training organization and examining organization together. The temptation of wages is so eye-catching that many non-computer majors join thus makes the IT certification keep rising. However, because of so many varieties of certifications of this kind, there are some side effects: while haunting jobs, a graduat with a pile of certifications will not get approval from the employer but suspicion.

Now, there are thousands of people each year trying to get CompTIA certification and CompTIA Network+ certification and more and more of N10-004 certifications. Among the majority of the examinees, students and people who are going to get a job compose the main force of the certification army. But because these kinds of certifications are so much that their bad effect is that when a graduate takes out a big pile of certificates what he receives is not the approval from the employer but he receives a kind of doubted look at the same time. It is written in the formal training principles of CompTIA Network+ that the employees are advised to take part in the learning with more than two years¡¯ experience.

This means that the purpose of the training is to improve the student's professional competence rather than eliminate illiteracy. Then how can those graduating students pass the N10-004 and CompTIA Network+ examinations? Therefore, various kinds of methods and problems in preparing for the examinations emerge prominently, such as item pool, the skills of memorizing answers, finding surrogate examinees, cheating in the examination, which methods are used in IT certification area more unscrupulously. It is a comfort to see that there is the CompTIA A+ certification which has a really high value. Its high training expense and strict admission system, especially the practical operation pattern allows the trainees to learn something and keeps the original ¡®hardness¡¯ of CompTIA certificate at the same time. What¡¯s more, it leaves nowhere for the ¡®piracy talent¡¯ to hide. The strictness of CompTIA is famous all over the world, and people who have obtained the certification had experienced three or four times of training averagely, and until now, there is no record of people who have passed the examination after the first training.
