Why Consider An IT Certification Over A Degree

Much Faster
Most bachelor’s degrees require a time commitment of at least two years, if not more, to complete. Certification programs teach a more focused curriculum in a matter of weeks. When it comes to starting a new career, especially after job loss, the burden of a multi-year program is simply a cost that most people cannot afford. If time is of the essence, whether you’re unemployed or looking to get promoted, then certifications might be the right fit for you.

At New Horizons Raleigh, we’ll create a learning journey that fits your schedule. We know that you’re busy, and we will help you manage your classes so you can achieve your training milestones quickly based on your personal goals and availability.

Easier Requirements
Most college institutions and programs have strict requirements or prerequisites that students must meet in order to attend. At New Horizons Raleigh, our only requirement is that you have acquired a high school diploma or equivalency. Whether you have little to no experience with computers, or you have a degree in computer science, we have a program that’s right for you. If you’re looking to pivot your career into the IT industry, getting certified is unquestionably your easiest path to validating your skills, and becoming a valued prospect to employers.
Less Costly
Student debt is one of the leading issues that college graduates face today. With hefty loans and no guarantee of employment to repay them, it’s no surprise that people are looking for cheaper alternatives.

At New Horizons Raleigh, we believe that education should empower, not debilitate. That is why we will work with you to ensure that you are getting the lowest tuition possible. In situations where acquiring financial aid is necessary, we will help you through the application process, and when your program is over, use our connections to assist you in gaining employment.

More Flexible
Unlike college classes which can be fixed and hard to fit within your schedule, New Horizons Raleigh offers programs that can mold to fit any lifestyle. Regardless of time or place, we offer a diverse schedule with various modalities to accommodate any preferred learning environment.  Get certified on your own terms, whenever you want, wherever you want. Plus, we offer free course retakes for six months?
More Valuable
When deciding if a bachelor’s degree is right for you, consider what your goals are, what you want to gain out of the experience, and what you want to learn. While a bachelor’s program will cover a broader curriculum, certifications are designed to focus on a more specific area of concentration..  As a result, certifications help people specialize within IT faster, and ensure that students will learn the technical skillset that employers search for in talent. Because certifications are built to meet specific industry standards, many employers require candidates to have certifications in order to even be considered for a position. If you’re looking to hit specific IT milestones, get promoted, or want specialized training without the frivolous course load, getting IT certified might be the right path for you.

Despite this, ever-changing technologies and new processes are forcing employees to adapt quickly to these advancements, or risk falling behind from outdated methods. Certifications are a great way to create job security by staying relevant and up-to-date in your field of work. For those with limited experience, or new job aspirations, getting certified is an effective way to quickly acquire the knowledge and skills needed to successfully pursue a new career path in as little as a few weeks.

Get Connected

Students gain access to new communities while networking with multiple Fortune 500 companies.

Certifications help individuals plug into new communities to share knowledge and best practices. Many of these groups offer member-only benefits, such as job boards, white papers, and networking opportunities. By joining a certification program through a center like New Horizons Raleigh, job seekers can engage with the vast student and alumni network available. On top of that, we have relationships with many Fortune 500 companies, and will use our connections to help you land interviews and get a job.

In a potential sea of endless job candidates, certifications can help applicants stand out amongst the rest. Research shows that 91 percent of managers consider certifications as part of their hiring criteria, and in a recent survey of 700 IT networking professionals, 60 percent said that getting a certification led them to landing a new job. On top of that, New Horizons Raleigh has highly regarded career placement services that are hyper-focused on getting recent graduates connected with key hiring decision makers in the graduate’s field of interest.

Get Recognized

Certifications will help you validate your skills in order to climb the corporate ladder faster.
Learn More
Many employers internally recognize employees when they obtain a certification. As a result, certified employees often gain broad exposure across their organization which can result in new connections and project opportunities. Since certifications are an objective and unbiased barometer of your skills, certified employees are more likely viewed as expert-level members of the team. Therefore, they tend to stand out amongst their peers when seeking an internal job promotion, and are more likely to grow faster within their company.

Earn More

Studies show certifications help professionals earn more in their field.
Learn More

Certifications commonly lead to an increase in salary. For example, PMP-certified project managers earn an average of 17 percent more in salary than non-certified project managers. As inflation and general life expenses increase, the demand to make more has never been more essential.

It’s undeniable that in today’s job market, having a certification can be the leverage you need to land that dream job you’ve always wanted, or preserve your place within your company and advance quicker through the ranks.
