Hello the bearded IT dad. I want to work in the field of data science/engineering but I want to take as a course something larger than data . Do you think with the Microsoft Ai engineering certificate i will be able to work as a data scientist or it's something that will limit me to AI creation ?

[@TheBeardedITDad]

To be honest I haven't done any research on the Microsoft Ai engineering certificate so I can't really say. What I will say is if AI interests you then defiantly go after the certification. I never recommend going after certifications with just the hope it will help make more money because you will never be successful. Follow your dreams and do what makes you happy and excites you!

been looking to get back into the workforce after a long hiatus and so much has changed, thx for the video, never know whose path it may cross

Glad I could help

[@PaladinLeeroy42069]

The IBM data science certificate is not a certification. It just says you sat through a bunch of videos. You don’t pay for a proctored exam that gives you an industry-respected credential upon passing.

[@samuelkandoje1425]

So any certification that doesn't involve an exam in the end like Cisco and CompTIA is not worth it?

[@PaladinLeeroy42069]

@@samuelkandoje1425 yeah no one in industry cares, and most universities don’t even accept it as credit so that says something

[@93ksj]

@@samuelkandoje1425it is worth it, it’s knowledge you’re acquiring that you can put down in your resume regardless if you get a paper or not

[@Bleseddd1]

@@samuelkandoje1425so Cisco and comptia are actually good?

[@briannyarambi10]

There is a difference between Certificates and Certifications. Certificates show that you have completed a course including some labs, quizzes each Coursera, Cisco Skills for All, FreeCode Camp However Certifications involve a proctored exam and you have to pay. These are the real deal eg CCNA, CompTIA, ISC2 CISSP

[@petrov3190]

Certifications are playing a really big role for technical positions like sys admins, networking and cloud engineers, etc. However, I don't think developers need certifications that much. Surely a company would be way more interested to invite for an interview someone with good web and software projects rather than holding a certification, just saying. Great video!

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you

[@1anre]

It helps you stand out from the billion of developers bootcamps are churning out by the minute now

[@krislui852]

i think u r right in the sense of getting a developer certification, but a lot of job descriptions in the market indicate that companies are looking for all-in-one engineers, basically programmer + devops engineer, so the devops related certificates could definitely help

[@robg5524]

Appreciate your videos dude.. If im wanting to get into the cloud but am just starting off in IT what path of certifications would you recommend taking to reach that goal?

[@TheBeardedITDad]

If you dont have much experience or knowledge then the A+ is a must.. If you are some what experienced then I would get the CCNA or Network+ first then the Cloud+.

[@milozelov6675]

Is A+ still a thing ?

[@johnluna5162]

Thanks so much for the all information in this video, gave me information I needed. Thanks again!

[@techocrazy]

I still haven't landed a job after passing my CCNA on august 2022. I already have a CCNA certificate and worked for an IT company that dealt with Audio Visual products like projectors, flat interactive panels. Now I'm learning AWS through Udemy, and fortinet alongside. Do you think I should get certified in both AWS and fortinet?

[@TheBeardedITDad]

I think you have everything you need to land an entry level job already. IF you are not getting calls for interviews you need to redo your resume.. if you are getting interviews but no job offers you need to work on your interview skills.

[@BiggameTechJourney]

Great video great info too. Cert help to get interviews but not guarantee you get job. I agree on that.

Thanks for the great information. Can you suggest any IT management certs? Is PMP cert good for IT management?

[@TheBeardedITDad]

PMP would be a great place to start!

[@ayandaluthuli]

Thank you for sharing great information. As someone who want to get into tech. Is the "Getting started with Azure" by Learnquest offered through Coursera the right certification for an entry level tech job?

[@kidmelo1994]

Do I have to go through CompTIA A+ in order to get into cloud ? I want to get into Cloud

[@TheBeardedITDad]

You don't have to if you're fairly tech savvy, but if you're just starting out on the field, it's good to have that fundamental knowledge

[@adziup]

perhaps you dont have to, but it would be good for you to understand some knowledge required to do that specific role. Comptia is recommending have Server+ and Network+ certs and then go to the cloud, but in order to accomplish them you would need to have A+ first. So basically the best skill build for you would be: A+ > Network+ > Server+ > Cloud+ And even if you would not wont to have official cert, paying for exams etc. it still would be good for you to get familliar with this knowledge they require.

I think Cloud+ isn’t worth it tbh, might as well go vendor specific with Azure and AWS

you cant go wrong with Azure or AWS Certs

[@yourwifesboyfriend6081]

I said this in another comment, but CompTIA is the Fisher Price of certs and is nothing but a paper mill setup to make CompTIA money. No IT person has even a microscopic amount of respect for their Sesame Street-level certs (except of course for Security+, which has all those problems but is required by the government).

[@crh488]

​@@yourwifesboyfriend6081not at all true. Plus, CASP+ is the equivalent to CISSP for DOD jobs

There so much bad information in this video. Anything that says CompTIA is only good if you are looking to get into your first helpdesk role. Stuff like AZ900 and AWS Practitioner are laughable. You will not get a job in the cloud with either of those. Very lazy video. Using a study from a certification mill is very problematic.
