Why there is no licensure exam for IT professionals.

Information Technology students will become an IT professionals someday.  But some of them did not know why there is no licensure exam. And I’m the one also who did not know that issue about that licensure exam. I think there are many reasons why. As my very own opinion maybe one of the reasons is an IT professional has many field or works to call after studying for four years. They will become an IT instructor, programmer, web development, web designer, call center agent and others that related to technology. Even they did not accomplished there studies in four years as long as, they have an experienced about technology. Unlike to other course that has a particular named to called after finishing or accomplishing their dreams to become a successful. Such as, when your course is education you will become or called as teacher and your field is to teach, when your course is criminology you will be also called or become a police man/woman and other courses too.

Information Technology will just receive a certificate and that certificate given is very useful. You can still receive even you still studying. That certificate such as, NCII, NCIV and other NC (National Certificate) is useful to everywhere because it is national. You just have that certificate if you passed those. Wherever you go if you have that those certificates you will quickly hire.

Without a licensure exam for an IT professional has an advantages. The advantages are if you work that company or what, are you just having an agreement. And then, if ever you have something bad that you’ve done in that company or in your clients you can still work or apply to other companies and dealing with other clients without involving your previous done. Unlike again to other professional that if ever they’ve done badly in their work or job they lost their license. And they will difficulty to find another job or else they did not get a job. But there are also advantages to those professional because if you have that license you have a permanent job.

Information Technology is having a thesis and that thesis is a challenge of individuals of students. And the other course is there challenge is to take the exam for having a license. So, all the courses feel challenge or difficulty stage and that stage is to pass the thesis defend and to other is to pass the board exams. But if you really think it’s just the same because every course has challenge.

The certificate of information Technology Professionals is very useful because it is stand for a license to other course. Without that certificate you can still have a job or you can still work. You just find the client and you were talk about the project. It’s just simple to find the job if you are IT professional unlike to other courses that many requirements to prepare for just an interview and many again requirements when you are already a hired.
