In recent years, a variety of IT certification can be said to be red throughout the country, and more and more people have begun to join this team. In the face of the certificate of the "IT" signature "IT" signature "IT", the people who didn't get it, but there were many people who really got it, and they regretted.
What is the true face of IT certification? Is it a symbol of ability? Is a nobiotic title title? Or just a embroidered pillow "look very beautiful"? After four months of hard work, I took the MCSE and MCDBA certificates, and I have worked as a monthly certification course in two IT certified educational institutions. After leaving this industry, the author believes that some things should be written, talk about some of the friends who are fighting for certification and is preparing to join this hard work.
Status and misunderstandings
I often listen to others say that there is how much the American mcse is fragrant, enjoy more high monthly salary; I can hear someone in China, I have been complaining, saying that I have got MCSE certification for more than 3 months, I haven't found a job; It is nothing to say that MCSE certification is not significant. This certification has been too abused. As a MCSE (Microsoft Certification System Engineer) of the current most popular authentication, the status in China is indeed a bit awkward.
I. MCSE training and examination are not standardized
First, the domestic MCSE training institution of fish is mixed. This is also a problem that IT certified training market is generally existed. Due to the high profit of certification training, the admission threshold is low, so everyone wants to come in a scoop, and it is inevitable that there are some problems.
Some training institutions have no restrictions in enrollment, no matter what the foundation you are, as long as you are willing to sign up, I will accept you into school. A student who has taught in contact with the computer is less than five months. Even the driver does not understand anything. The lady responsible for the enrollment will ask him that he will call the computer game. He said, then become the author. A student. Second, many training institutions in order to snatch their sources, crazy fight price wars, the city's city's 7 courses in MCSE is now at least 1000 yuan!
In fact, for a regular training institution, rent hydropower and machine depreciation fees are not what, the daily spending is mainly the salary of the teacher. In order to fight the price war, the only way out of the training institution is to hire a low-cost teacher, and some of the monthly salary of some training institutions is less than 2,000 yuan. This price is of course nothing. So some training institutions even hired a college students who have passed MCSE certification without any practical work experience. Microsoft recommends participating in MCSE training to CTEC (Microsoft Certified Advanced Technical Training Center) to participate in training, but CTEC's proportion of CTEC is very small, and a large part of CTEC operation is still not standardized.
Second, the MCSE Certification Test Center management is loose. Due to the vast majority of domestic training institutions at the same time, in order to expand their sources, many training institutions even played with the slogan of "100% pass". In the exam, you can bring a notebook, with reference information, you can hand in the ear, and even if you don't do it, you can give the invigilator to each other, this is the "secret" of the training center and the student.
Second, China MCSE growth path and foreign MCSE have fundamental differences
MCSE's exam questions and domestic computer exams have a lot of differences, not what you know, but what questions you can solve. That is to say, if there is no practical work experience, even if you learn the theoretical knowledge of books, it is extremely difficult to pass the exam. In the United States, most of the students have a few years before participating in the training, and the MCSE training cost is quite high, and the training costs of single department are as high as about 1,000 dollars, and the teaching is the MCT (Microsoft). Certification teacher). In the United States, people heard that you are MCSE, they will admire. In contrast, many of MCSE growing in China, there are non-computer professionals, and people who want to enter the IT industry through this certification, and college students account for a lot. Among the two training institutions of the author, the proportion of college students is nearly 40%.
In addition, in the middle of the people who have obtained MCSE certification in China, a part of the person is adopted, and this ratio is not small, so that the outsider is incredible. Since the work is exposed to many "Bible" (commonly known as "exam" (commonly known as "exam", some people who have participated in the exam rely on the collections of the original question). Some "Bible" quality is high, and even the topic of the PDF format (including illustrations) and the original title is generally no.
On the Chinese version of the Microsoft Certified Advanced Technology Training Center, there is such a first-click - "Microsoft official courses (MOC) help readers prepare Microsoft Certified Expert (MCP) exam. But MOC courses and MCP exams do not exist A correspondence. Microsoft does not want MOC to become the only preparation tool through the MCP exam. The actual product knowledge and experience are necessary for the MCP exam. "However, in practice, there is no practical work experience" paper mcse " Both are everything.
Third, the domestic MCSE is too small to use the land
McSE has already had a "popular" momentum in China. In the city where the author is located, there is ten kinds of institutions who have known names. There are ten training institutions in the posters of major colleges and universities. In some universities, there are four or five people to participate in MCSE training. In fact, in terms of demand markets, MCSE has great limitations, mainly learning how to build, configure and manage networks based on Windows NT platforms. However, it is disappointing that many people who have a MCSE certificate is that first, domestic enterprises are not high, and many companies do not even build their own internal enterprise networks; on the other hand, in the current domestic server market Windows NT's installation rate does not dominate, and some companies' servers are built on UNIX or Linux platforms, but to manage and maintain these platforms. It is difficult to cross such a large knowledge span for MCSE.
How to look at it correctly
I have said so much in front, isn't that everyone doesn't take these things? of course not. For IT certification, we need to stand on a relatively objective perspective. It is indeed a great increase in his ability to greatly improve its ability through the test of certification, and personal abilities have greeted greater play in new work.
The author believes that on the issue of IT certification, we must first have a correct attitude. It should be used as a means of growth knowledge, improve your own learning ability. By certifying you can learn today's latest computer software and hardware technology. If you use IT certification only as a job-seeking weight, the result will make you live. Second, choose a regular training institution very key. In general, the training institution of vendor certification is obtained, such as Microsoft Certified CTECs, teaching quality and hardware quality are guaranteed. Pay attention to the price "Tai" low-end training institutions to participate in training, and it is best to go to the audition, see how the other party's hardware and software conditions, more important is whether you can Understand. Finally, not to say when you are ready to examine, don't look at "Simulation Questions", but to understand each "simulation questions" in the trial, only this can learn the true things. Foreword
Anyone who passes the subject exam firm through Microsoft will receive Microsoft's certification certification, become "Microsoft certified professionals, engineers or teachers". "Microsoft Certification System Engineer" is one of the M CSE. It can be seen that MCSE is only a technical title, not a glorious title or a hierarch of nobles. Before the card, everyone is equally, there is no need to care for the way (of course, very few deals with others, or the elimination of cheating through the examination of the exam). A biased people like to be more than saying: I have been taking it for 3 months. You are taking the test. He is taking N times for each door. Such people often have strong level concepts, not only sickness, but also self-time, is a typical Chinese small intellectual molecule. Since everyone is in this circle, there should be more experiences and learning experience. If these people think that there are too many miscellaneous people in this class, they can't show their own level, and they will take the CCIE. Anyone who wants to pure MCSE team should start from himself.
Microsoft's NT technology does not belong to which person, we will help each other for the common goal of MCSE. There are now some unselfish equivalent to establish a variety of websites to help many people achieve the ideal of certified engineers. Their practices are very difficult in this "people who are deceived", "personal care personal" society, worthy of our respect and admiration.
How Americans get MCSE certificates
The US MCSE certificate and other technical certification certificates are high. Because it is not easy to pass through the certification exam. I want to take MCSE by self-study, because of copyright issues, I can't buy Microsoft's certification curriculum textbooks in the market (that is, the English version of the textbook), it is only a textbook that is like a Microsoft authorized publishing of ears (eg Electronics The Industrial Press published the "Learning Guide" series of "learning guidelines" in the industry, the content and simulation questions and the exam focus. It is difficult to find a complete set of questions memories in the United States, perhaps due to copyright issues. Some small websites have promised to provide a true question, but they will charge, it means that the buyer wants to provide personal information. This is a high risk of the Americans. Therefore, there are not many people, and there is no story. . Then the best and most insurance method is to go to the training center to learn.
The equipment of the training center is first-class, where the most is the computer, which can guarantee that one person uses two, and there is a number of spare machines. Only by paying the students of scientific fees can buy Microsoft's certification curriculum textbooks, the book fees are shocked: each door is more than 2 million yuan, the book is in a box, the frame is very beautiful. There is also a CD-ROM, and there is another box of free items. Some software, reference materials, learning products and advertisements, etc., some small stations with "Microsoft" logo make you heart, of course, wool is in the sheep. Single scientific fees are else 799 to 1999. There is almost no hard drives in the classrooms of the training center and laboratory. Students have to buy a hard drive in the training center, specifically in a central system. Some students simply buy two. The teacher is a clear m ct. After class, students can go to the laboratory exercise operation, the laboratory network management and the MCT of the duty at any time answer to the students. The training center also regularly opens some free lectures, helping students with computer-based students to understand computer knowledge, understand the latest developments of the computer industry, introduce new products, new technologies. Each test fee is 100 dollars (last year). Most of the candidates will remain silent after coming out, at least not to take the initiative, which department is taken, if someone asks about the exam, they will simply tell you to pay attention to those chapters, for the average person, they will The tiger is coming to a face, saying: N o One was allowed Talking About The Test! (See ghost, someone said this to me). That's why the US MCSE certificate has a high level of gold, and MCSE can find a lot of income.
What is the status quo of the China Training Center? Everyone has a satisfactory point. From hardware to the software, from the teaching environment to things that are not discounted. Instead of going to the training center white flowers, it is better to go to the Internet to go back, but it can be biased with your compatriots to see that others have taken shortcuts.
China MCse's embarrassment
At present, most Chinese MCSE far without the US peers live so chic, the flower green Yangwen certificate actually does not resonate in China, the work is still difficult to find, even if it is found, the income is also expected. Lower. In addition, it seems that no one has taken these even Bill Gates recognized "Microsoft Certification System Engineers" as an event. What caused this situation is multifaceted:
First, it is misleaded by my country's media being used to lying. The media is not in time, and how to develop China's network development, China's network technology is a lie, making many people to optimally estimate the development prospects of the network industry. The actual situation is that the unit that truly realizes the enterprise network, many government departments, and enterprises in enterprises and institutions have no connection. Network technology is still very uncomfortable in China. The so-called government is online, and the company is only a few months, and the web page is as rough. There are so many people laid-off. It is a unit that is not yet, and does it need to add or upgrade the computer? How many companies doing good companies? Are they all reached the size of M CSE? It is because the media is a false report on the network industry, making many people to participate in this industry, causing MCSE to be more than the situation greater than seeking, so in the skills, maybe it will improve after the way?
Second, there are many bosses who have known as high-tech enterprises. They don't know what MCSE can do, and they are not accurate, and MCse can not be used. At the grassroots level, the person in charge of the technical department of the wilderness is burning, I don't want to let a M CSE comes from a three-sided three-point place, people are always fully considering their own interests while shouting The beautiful slogan of "respecting talents". Is it "talent" is relative, only useful talent is "talent", so anyone will never feel that he is "talent", otherwise it will make himself neuropathy. Third, it is caused by the limitations of MCSE itself. McSE's functionality is naturally narrow, in addition to the NT system network management, there is almost other work. In the same situation, a large-scale professional website may take two thirty software developers or website editors; and the NMS, up to two is enough. Therefore, less employment opportunities is also a practical issue that M CS must face.
Fourth, it is McSE. There were some computer foundations in the test of MCSE. In order to stand in the network industry as soon as possible, they used the method of the test certificate to make up, think that the foreign certificate can cover the lack of the foundation, and there is still a wood. Of course, the employer does not want to hire a footed M CSE.
Therefore, in the large environment of Chinese real-world, McSe first thing to do is: Adjust your mindset, squat your position, don't think that the certificate is yours. Intoxication is almost the same, the certificate is only a certificate, and I will never replace a person's true realism. There is no end, there is a day outside. People are expensive to know. Keep a clear mind is more important than anything.
Conclude
Sincerely hope that China's MCSE can unite, communicate with each other, to make a long need, and enthusiasm should be a character of all certified engineers. To know that a person's ability and intelligence is always limited, especially in today's products and technologies. N The network era of expansion of the expansion. Imagine if a MCSE has given a question to get a lot of MCSE help, but form a very good moment, then MCSE's social value will be a hundred times greater growth. The entire society includes your boss will not despise the strength of a single MCSE. If you look like some M CSE, you will look at the printing paper that has a Bill Gates computer signature, the dream is still there, will never become a climate.
