"Certification means the confirmation by a
certifying organization that a person has the
knowledge and experience that it considers necessary
to undertake a specific ICT role."
- National Infocomm Competency Centre
Certification is recognized by the government and
the private sector as a key resource that India must
harness to maintain a highly competent IT workforce
to meet the challenges in the new knowledge economy.
As a proactive IT education provider that is
committed to raising the overall knowledge and
skills levels of IT professionals in India, SIL uses
e-Learning and classroom instructional methods to
prepare IT professionals for certification.
The value of certification is well known to IT
professionals and companies alike. To an individual,
certification is a clear demonstration of his or her
commitment to lifelong learning and, thus, to
continuing employability. At the same time,
certification increases the individual’s job
security as many companies now rely on certified
employees to obtain consulting projects and contract
awards. Furthermore, with enhanced skills certified
individuals can command higher salaries as they are
able to solve problems more efficiently and exhibit
greater confidence with their customers. To
companies, certification serves as an objective
benchmark to validate and assess the expertise of
their employees. It also contributes to higher
project efficiency as employees have stronger grasp
of fundamentals and, hence, better understanding of
solutions. Companies also find certification a
valuable tool to generate new skills so that they
can better respond to customer needs.
SIL has partnered with prestigious professional
certification bodies around the world to jointly
offer their programs and certifications in India.
Professionals in India will now be able to assess
these high quality programs with relative ease
without disruption to their careers and incurring
high costs. Continuous education and life long
learning has never been much easier.
