IT Certifications

We are launching a number of important IT certification courses on Vast Talent’s website (in conjunction with our partner ElementK) over the next few weeks. These are online courses that give you everything you need to pass all sorts of professional certifications for the IT business. These certifications are basically a way to get ahead in the IT business and develop your career.

These offerings are important because China (the area we are most focused on) has a tremendous need for software and hardware engineers of all kind. Engineers who graduate from college need to stand out from the crowd and differentiate themselves, so they go for professional qualifications like CCNA (from Cisco) or MCTS and MCITP (by Microsoft). Cisco estimates that China will need 400,000 new telecoms engineers in the next five years to support growth in the market.

The traditional way of studying for these certifications is to sign up at an IT school and use their classroom and facilities. But this can be expensive and your success in the exam is due in large part to how good your teacher is.

Our approach is to provide top-notch online courses that we designed by industry experts in conjunction with the big technology companies (like Microsoft, Sun and Cisco). That way we get the best information and the newest trends and technology. We also offer “virtual labs” where students can manipulate real, live IT environments remotely. This is great because it can be scheduled whenever you want, and you have access to lots of different kinds of software and hardware. Even better is that it’s cheap and you don’t have to invest in this infrastructure yourself.

You can currently sign up for a free trial of our Sun, Cisco, CompTIA, Microsoft, or ITIL certification courses. Soon we’ll offer the ability to buy on our site and get started on the next stage of your career.
