I have just come across your site today. Thank you for the advice! I really like the look of the TCM courses.

A combination of what you talk about gives you the absolute best chance and the widest net.

@everemchuk Месяц назад

100% agree

Very thought and educative talk. Thanks Heath Adams for guiding us

The certification game has changed a lot, and also the academic thing. There are companies that prefer experience rather than a degree, and the certs are desired but no required. Of course with a degree and some entry level certs you have a better chance to start on a level I position and go from there. But once you are on the IT workforce you can focus on learning what you need with a place like Try Hack Me and jump at any opportunity your workplace might offer to move up the ladder.

@vinny142 Месяц назад

Here in the Netherlands a certificate is nice to have but they nearly always prefer work experience. One reason is that certificates are only required if the kind of work they do can legally onlt be done by certified people, or if the company is one of those "companies" that only hire certified people because they are really hardcode. Avoid those companies. Basically; a certificate is an objective indication that you have certain knowledge. Work experience is proof that you can do the job.

How is one switching careers going to obtain the experience? I'm trying to switch from Elec. equipment service technician to IT (first, before Cybersecurity) and I am getting IT certs to also get more knowledge but to help myself to get to IT and grow experience from there.

Thanks Heath. Love your Academy. Been enjoying the Python 101 and 201 courses.

If youre looking for a help desk position, no you dont need any certifications, but you will be tested during your interview. Ive been in IT for 25 years, worked at large financial companies in support roles, trading desk support roles and as an automation engineer. It will help you, the further you get along in your career.

@vipinsharma1984 Месяц назад

Thanks! Very inspirational.

@oladelemakanjuola Месяц назад

Useful information. Thank you

@PatrickMcCoyJr Месяц назад

It's funny you are really personable. I took your AD training and I thought you seemed very relatable. Easy to talk to. You might not be as outgoing as John Strand but that's not a bad thing. I enjoy both styles.

@fistofthesnortstar Месяц назад

As with everything, it's all about nuance, for instance, i have a few certificates for JAMF (a mac MDM), so that obviously gives me an edge when the job listing is for a mac system engineer, then again, if had a candidate without those certs but I can tell they understand things quickly, i'd also say it's fine to hire.

+1 for soft skills that I wish'd I had learned 20 years ago.

@TCMSecurityAcademy Месяц назад

They're critical! We added a Soft Skills course to our Academy for this reason. www.tcm.rocks/ss-y

@Haxr-dq6wt Месяц назад

Can get a job at TCM Academy after obtaining the PNPT?

@TCMSecurityAcademy Месяц назад

We advertise job openings when we have them in our Discord server. So this would be the best place to see our future roles: discord.com/invite/tcm (By the way, good luck on the PNPT!)
