Chapter 2: When Certification Is Justified

Chapter 2 : Case # 3

Discussion Questions

1. How can organizations and vendors change their certification programs to test for skills as well as core knowledge? What issues might this introduce?

The organization and vendors must produce a training to the employee in order to gain the certificate needed for the job they are in. Having a proper training gives them a opportunity to show their skills and new knowledge not just the core knowledge that they have.
2. What are the primary arguments against certifications, and how can certifying programs need to change in their programs to overcome these shortcomings?

I think they argued that having IT knowledge is not based on certificate that you have. Then lately they think and come up to an idea to built more trainings in order for them to have more experience and gain the certificate that able to use in their work.
3. What are the benefits of certifications? How might certification program need to change in the future to better serve the needs of the IT community?

For me the benefits of certificates are the recognition for you to be known as an IT professional or an IT graduate. This is one of the weapon that can help you to easily find a job. This certificate might be use to have a best IT workers in the community.
