The average salary for an IT professional in the UK is £39000 and rising due to growing demand and the shortage of certified IT professionals. Certifications are credentials achieved through testing to validate knowledge within a specific IT function.

Certifications are recognised throughout the IT industry globally as a standard to validate your knowledge and skill sets and help individuals demonstrate a proven level of experience.

Companies prefer to take on candidates that are already certified as they pose a lower recruitment risk to the company. This is a fast growing trend confirmed by a recent survey of 126 IT Managers in the US and Europe where 82% agreed that certifications are a very important factor in considering an employee for a position or promotion. The benefits of IT Certification are numerous and include higher salaries, improved marketability, increased knowledge and confidence and greater respect from management and colleagues.

Change is the only constant in the IT field. Becoming Certified and keeping your skills current is the key to continued professional success!
