About IT Certification

About IT and Professional Development Certification

IT Certification

Various manufacturers, in an effort to promote the use of their software, offer certificates to those that master their products. The manufacturers sponsor certification for a variety of other reasons too – mainly, however, to identify people competent in running their systems.

With the .com craze of the late nineties, a lot of people in the Detroit, Michigan area were studying for IT certification because they thought it was the magic bullet – the quick way to riches. This lead to a lot of people studying how to pass certification exams rather than learning how to use the software. Unfortunately, passing a certification exam does not mean that you know how to do a job.

Michigan Technology Services is committed to making sure that you learn how to do a job as you study for certification.

There are two main types of computer certification: vendor sponsored and vendor neutral. Examples of vendor sponsored IT certification include, from Microsoft, the MCSE or MCSA. Cisco offers the CCNA and CCNP, amongst others.

Vendor neutral exams mainly come from CompTIA, an association representing the international technology community. Examples of CompTIA credentials include the A+ PC Tech, Network+, Security+ and Linux+.

There are numerous perks associated with computer certification – including industry recognition and advanced copies of software.

Professional Development Certification

Business analysts, project managers, as well as IT managers, often need to demonstrate their proficiency in their respected fields.

The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), the association for business analysts, offers the BABOK Guide, CBAP and CCBA certifications.

The Project Management Institute (PMI), the association for project managers, offers the PMP, CAPM and other related certifications.

The Scrum Alliance, a well-recognized Agile framework association, offers the CSM, CSPO and CSD certifications.

There are a variety of professional development certifications that we can help you with.

Student Successes

The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

- SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

- SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

- Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students. It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

- De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
