Why Certification?
"High education and experience requirements make skills gaps hard to close. Because cyber security jobs require years of training and relevant experience, skills gaps cannot easily be resolved though short-term solutions. Employers and training providers must work together to cultivate a talent pipeline for these critical roles." - Job Market Intelligence: Cybersecurity Jobs 2015., Burning Glass"The general perception of these (IT) managers is that staff that are certified bring added value to the organization. Over 60 percent reported seeing at least a moderate increase in the effective- ness of their staff after gaining certifications." - IT Skills and Salary Report, Global Knowledge, 2016
