Certification is not an end in itself – it is simply a goal setting tool for personal development and capacity building. Through experience, I realized that applied skills are developed through “doing” NOT “reading”. However, sustained expert-level skills are not gained solely through “trial and error”; it requires a strong theoretical mastery to act as a baseline for development. When I am queried about which certification is better for successful job hunt? I simply remind them that certification will only distinguish you from competition to be called for an interview. The rest will be based on real applications.
