high and it's also going to cost quite a
bit to maintain the certification if you
do want to update it all the time but it
is a highly recognized certification and
if you are getting this one you can
definitely increase your pay now this
one is going to be better for beginners
and have you ever notice the big signs
at publ construction sites that show the
Project's cost the purpose and the
estimated completion date now these
signs are often required to ensure
transparency for taxpayers and this is
just one example of a really big project
where somebody has to manage all this
stuff and that requires a lot of you
know skill but also a lot of people and
that's why there's going to be a lot of
job openings for project managers the
project management professional or PMP
certification shows that you can manage
projects effectively ensuring that they
meet your goals and the deadlines now
with this certification you can apply
for roles like project manager program
manager or project coordinator and these
roles do require strong organizational
skills and different leadership
qualities and at least 2 to three years
of project management experience but if
you are a beginner there are more
beginner level certifications that you
can get as well having a PMP
certification showcases your ability to
lead and manage teams and it's going to
boost your earning potential overall but
do keep in mind that it's going to
require a lot of time in patients and
the process can be costly as well the

or CDP and turning raw data into
valuable insights is one of the best
remote jobs that you can learn and is
one of the biggest opportunities right
now this certification is going to
validate your skills in data management
data analytics and data science so it's

jobs because there are going to be a lot
of job responsibilities that overlap but
they are definitely some of the highest
paying it jobs out there now to do this
you will need some strong analytical
skills and you also need to be able to
work with different data tools and you
will need some experience in data
related roles before you can begin the
certification process but getting the CT
is going to be a worthwhile journey and
the drops that you land are in high
demand across nearly every single
industry because everybody needs
somebody that can work with data and the

Innovation problem solving along with
very competitive salaries and growth
potential as well next up on the list is

popular platforms now with this
certification you can apply for roles

challenges too and if you do want to
start with Cloud there's going to be a
lot of things to learn and you will also
have to keep learning as the cloud
technology evolves and the certification
process can also be pretty intense there
is a lot of stuff to understand but you
don't have to worry about spending a lot
of money to get this certification
because most Google courses that you
take are very cheap and when it comes to
this certification it's still pretty
reasonably priced now the next one is
going to be the Salesforce certified
technical architect and it could be a
very good career opportunity now this
certification shows that you can design
and Implement complex Salesforce
Solutions and be the key person behind a
customer focused system with this
certification you can work with a lot of
Salesforce related roles but you can
also work as a CRM architect a Senior
Solutions architect and there are many
different opportunities kind of related
to Salesforce or related to these
systems and to get this one you will
need some deep knowledge of sales force
specifically you will need some problem
solving skills and also extensive
experience with CRM systems and if that
overwhelms you then just think about the
pros of having this type of
certification because it is a very very
useful one there's going to be a lot of
highp paying jobs all right the next one
on the list is going to be perfect if
you ever thought about managing the Liv
lines of the internet now when I say it
like that you probably never thought
about it but it's kind of like being a
traffic cop on the digital highway where
you ensure that you know the company's
network is clear and that their data
flows smoothly to all of its
destinations and basically what I'm
talking about is the Cisco certified
Network associate or CCNA which also
shows that you can install configure
troubleshoot and just deal with networks
efficiently overall networks are what
makes the internet work and is also very
important for companies as as well and
with a CCNA certification you can apply
for roles like network engineer network
administrator or system administrator
and these jobs are actually very high in
demand and you can make a lot of money
but they're not that popular because the
name just isn't that sexy and there's
not a lot of people that are actually
looking for these types of jobs compared
to some other jobs which are more trendy
right now so if you are deciding to
pursue one of these there can be a lot
of great opportunities because these
skills are in very high demand the main
thing you'll need to understand is of
course networking and you'll also be
able to work with some of these concept
Hands-On with different devices number
seven is going to be my personal
favorite on this list and that is going
to be the compta Security Plus and if
you do want to start a journey in cyber
security which is very trendy right now
for good reason and be kind of a cop
again but in terms of cyber security
threats this certificate is for you it's
a very good certificate for beginners as
long as you gain the necessary
experience you can of course not take it
without any experience but you can just
study up for the exam and learn all of
the necessary things and the comta
Security Plus CT is going to validate
your basic skills in cyber security
making it a very good option for
beginners and with this one you can
apply for roles like security analyst
Junior security consultant or IT Auditor
and there are going to be different
roles cyber security is also an Ever
growing field things are changing but I
do think that it's a very good
opportunity to get into cyber right now
now I also made another video more
focusing on beginner level
certifications so if that's what you're
looking for I would just check out the
video somewhere here on the screen and I
hope to see you over there in the next
video thanks for watching
