IT Certs

[scottish]

Just curious if anyone has either gained, looked at or progressing towards IT Certs.

Whether Cisco, Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, etc.

I have;

MCSE Server 2012
MCSE Server 2008
VMware Certified Professional 5.5
Cisco CCNA
ITIL v3 Foundations

VMware Certified Pro 5.5 is pretty much the best one for me salary wise as it requires you take a course so it reflects quite well.

I was half tempted to do Cisco instead of my degree but decided against it

I had the opportunity to do Cisco but I never followed it up.

How much was the VCP5.5

I'm currently looking at doing 70-410 and 70-411 in the next month/month and a half for MCSA 2012 then probably 70-413 and 70-414 for MCSE.

After that I'm not sure what I want to do, I'm half tempted to get certified with Datacore but I do a lot of work with VMware and Cisco too.

It can really vary in price because your required to do the course. Stanley College in the US does an online course for it at your own pace pretty much for around $500 AUD at the time. A standard 5-day course can you set you back thousands of dollars.

Yeah that's a typical price for classroom, think my MCSA was £1.6k.

Might look into doing VCP6 after these exams then.
