Can 2 IT certifications be equivalent to an Associates Degree?

Category: Technology

H.T-11H.T-11


I just got A+ certified by Comptia and don't plan on finishing college. I wanted to know if getting a Security + certification to combine with my A+ certification will look as corresponding in position to an associates degree when getting hired in the IT field.

Cheers/

It's better to have both, to show you're more well rounded in your education. They will never be equivalent, as they show significantly different things.

If you want to look good to get hired,

1) Look at what jobs are open in your area

2) Pick what job/career you want

3) Pick the certification that best matches the job (Here are Microsoft's): http://www.microsoft.com/learning/career¦
