Most universities and colleges teach students from a book and then leave them to learn skills “on the job.” At 十大正规平台 University, we educate our students and train them using hands-on workshops and labs, externships in the field of study, and certification programs. On their first day on the job, 十大正规平台 University students already know what is expected of them and are confident in their capabilities because it is work they have done before through our hands-on learning opportunities.

We provide students access to the “GetCertified” portal, where students can register for exam, claim and accept exam vouchers, and find preparatory information needed for the certifications.
In the IT field, certifications demonstrate that you have specialized industry knowledge. In some instances, this might be all that is needed to obtain initial employment. Having a degree can signify your commitment to employers and your field.
A degree may get you in the door, but any additional qualifications may help you stand out in a crowd from other candidates with only a degree. Getting certifications in your field can prove to potential employers that you are an expert who is dedicated to your craft. Certifications also keep you updated on the latest techniques and advancements in your field.
