Top 2015 Certs

TechGuru80

So we know that hot certs change all the time. I was curious what people see as generally good progressions from novice to advanced and what should be hot this year.

Personally I have Security+ and a CCNA. I am also about to do my CCNA:Security and then possible MCSA 2012 R2.

This topic has yielded split opinions on the topic. With a such broad range of splinters that IT can go, you really need to follow what you like doing and running with it deep.

With this being said, here is a website link with a generalized focused on the hot certifications of 2015, I don't say best since the selections can be left to ones own interpretations: clicky

Cloud certs are hot and appear to be staying hot. I think the next cert trend heating up are the Big Data certs, but those are all vendor-solution-specific and difficult to get if you don't attend the vendor training and work on the vendor's solutions.

depends what you want to do, how fast you learn, what experience you can get etc. An MCSA has value if you will be administering Windows Servers, but otherwise your ROI will be low to non-existant

What certs will be hot this year? I think VCPs will continue being popular. I agree that Cloud will probably see a jump, though idk which ones. Getting a CCNA followed by the VCP followed by VCP-DCV would be a great way to get it this year
