QOTD: What IT Certifications Do You Possess?

When you're using a computer, it's a whole different world than when you're working with computers at a system administrator level.
At a large scale firm, you may be responsible for network topology design, security design, consolidation, systems analysis, large scale deployment, and other things. Among these things, you may be asked to know system level scripting to automate such things as log purging and system backups. It's not about just building a custom machine, it's about knowing how to deploy hundreds to thousands of machines--at once.
At times you will also need to know detailed administrative level knowledge of more than one operating system or server.
Often than not, these types of system admin jobs and those that are related, require the professional to have one or more IT certifications. These could be anything from the most basic A+ certification to a higher level LPIC. Today's question comes courtesy of Chris Channell.
The question of the day is: What IT certifications do you possess?

A+ now, but working on MCSE
A+
I only have A+ right now, but am working on Net+, and I have lots of real world experience that Administrators don't! Like putting thousands of RJ-45 connectors on CAT5e cables every day! (I hate my job...)
Only have my Cisco CCNA right now, working on my A+ and MCSA
A+
i just started learning about computers a year ago so i don't have anything yet but im always willing to learn and learn from my mistakes
From Comptia:
A+, Network+, Server+, I-NET+(worthless)
Cisco:
CCNP/CCDP/CCIP
Microsoft:
MCSA
Working on my CCIE R/S atm
I have an A+, and Cisco level 1 networking cert.
If you can build your own computer, and manage most of its problems, its pretty easy to pass the A+, and worth while if you plan on getting a low level IT Job like Best Buy
currently working on my A+ which im almost done with. From then gonna get my N+
NONE! IT certifications are for the working class hero.. not the academic!
I'm getting my masters degree on Engineering in the area of Computers and Telemathics
Hehe. CDP issued 1972, IIRC
Gonna start another year in computer engineering, other than that it's mostly experience/knowledge acquired over time using computers.
Probably try and get A + in the next year or so
BS in CS....
i have a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) in Computer Engineering from this : www.nitk.ac.in .
i am a Sun Certified Java Associate (SCJA) , will be giving Sun Certified Java Programmer shortly and then S.C.J.Developer later on .
there is also a good certification from either IEEE.CS or ACM on software engineering , that i might be interested in the future .
Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD)
Who cares, they're worthless. I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for it, except for my BS/CS. Certified Oracle and MS DBA, HP Unix and MPE admin, IBM MVS/XA and AS/400 manager, CCNA, and Sun Java and countless other file cabinet fodder.
CCNA, A+, and IC3(really pretty worthless)
IMHO certifications (i am sure not all) are just a way to have the human resources controlled and to earn money from preparation classes and exam fees. I am not an IT specialist so I may be mistaken but most certificates work that way in most areas, even mine. I guess that many people just sit the exams in order to find work and at the same time many enthusiasts out there do a better job than many guys that own an A+. I would be very interested to see how the programming certificates test the candidates for clean coding and originality and the most important thing: creativity
I have my A+, MCP, MCTS:Vista, MCITP:Enterprise Support Technician, MCSA:Security 2003, MCSE:Security 2003, and my CCNA. I am working on my CCNA:Security, and Server 2008
Funny thing mcnuggetofdeath my A+ and over 15yrs experience in the field got me my position as Field Support Engineer for Northrop Grumman. I hate elitist!! Any certification is worth something. If your into programming then a language cert is required, if your gonna work with servers then admin cert is required, etc. Depending on your field of interest you should be certified in a at least one decipline.
none, i own 2 companies, soon 2 b 3 if i need to do something technical i hav a collection of like 6000 for dummies books.
NONE. I own 2 companies soon to b 3 if i need to do anything technical i hav like 6000 for dummies books. Im sure 1 of them will help me.
I have been working in the IT filed as a professional for over 10 years. During the course of my career I have obtained several different certifications. I have had a lot of hands on experience and got to speak with many people. I started working on certifications back with NT 4.0. I got my MCSE on NT 4.0 and then took the necessary exams to get both my MCSE and MCSA on Windows 2000. I took the upgrade exams to Windows Server 2003. I also started in working towards a CNE (since I was working with a lot of Novell at a point in time). I never finished my CNE on Netware 5. I also picked up low level SQL certification on SQL 2005.
I have found that I am having a difficult time motivating myself to update my MCSE to Windows 2008. I am going to do this but just have found a lack in interest at times. My opinion is that Certification is good and will get you in the door. I have used it over the years to learn about a product in more depth. However after working with many people over the years you can really see the difference between someone who got certification and really has no clue what they are doing and those who have real world experience (including those who have certification). Now I am not saying that certification is a bad thing. Having certification is great but putting that knowledge to use in real life situations is another. It is one thing to pass a test and another to apply the knowledge in an environment where it is not staged and anything can go wrong. That is where I believe the most important skill comes into play, how well is the individual able to troubleshoot. In my opinion that is what separates the professionals from those who are learning. Everyone has to start somewhere. Getting certification is a good place to start and will get your foot in the door. What happens after that is up to you. My advice is to learn as much as you can from everyone you work with. Experience is the best teacher. Having certification, experience, and having both good troubleshooting and social skills will put you in a class by itself.
sever 2008 a+ NET + and working on more for more money and to the asshole ripping on Tuan shut up before I hack your dell punk.....
lol...ALL CERTIFICATIONS ARE WORTHLESS.
None but I need some
Cert. in Network Admin form local collage! Just finished the other day!

I have A+ Network + and Apple ACSP 10.5
Almost had Security+ and CCNA, but never got back to them.
i currently have none, but as long as i don't change my career plans, i will get a bachelor in computer science.
