Do certifications worth more than academic education?
Recently, I've been involved in a few interviews for some companies and one question popped up my mind: does a certification worths more than my academic education?
The world is changind rapidly and we see this in how our profession evolves. I 've got my bachelor degree in Information Management back in 2000 but frankly what I learned in college had nothing to do with anything from the present. So from my perspective, my background didn't speak too much to the interviewers as my experience and my latest qualifications/certifications did. Sort of frustration, since I spent 4 years in college and maybe 2-3 months to learn and get a certification.
Getting back to a Scrum certification, I ask you: have you felt like PSM or PSPO worth today more than your formal education?
hi Viorel, Professional Certification is a credential that verifies someone’s knowledge, skills and abilities to perform a specific job. Some Certifications gives us extra credentials and help us getting into the jobs. You are at the right path. Most of the Companies are looking for Scrum Master/Product Owner Certifications for Scrum Master/Product Owner recently.
