Over 90 percent of IT certification failure is due to the use of unsuitable preparation methods and tools. Effective preparation ensures you have the required skills and knowledge in the specific field. Anything else is gambling.
IT Certification examines your skills and knowledge in a particular subject matter.
Relying solely on work experience is risky, since your nature of work might limit your exposure. For example even though you might work on Local Area Networks (LAN) everyday in your workplace, your corporate LAN may be quite different from that of a company a few blocks away, or even right next to you.
Since certification will test you in all possible areas of your subject matter, you must have someway of acquiring the knowledge you need and confirming that your knowledge meets the required standard.
The IT industry has created quite a few preparation options to aid certification candidates. Each option has its strengths and its weaknesses. The option(s) you choose should be based on what works for you.
Popular options are: Text Materials, Instructor-led Classroom training, Computer Based Training (CBT), Video training, E-Learning, Practice tests and Online resources.
What is your present status? Where do you desire to be?
Before choosing an option, you must answer this question: what is the gap between your present knowledge level and experience and what your certification demands?
Some options involve the acquisition of knowledge through reading, listening to and watching certification "how-to" materials. Other options may demand the application of knowledge to gain practical skills. Examine the certification requirements; assess yourself: in which areas do you need support? Sometimes you may find that a combination of options is best.
All the best as you move towards your certification.
