Intro

According to a 2001 MCP magazine survey, an MCSE earns on average £5,425 more per year than a MCP with the same level of experience.

According to a recent (2002) government survey, there is a shortfall of about 100,000 skilled I.T. workers in the country. This is expected to rise to 330,000 personnel by the end of next year.

MCSE's are among the most technically proficient professionals available in the IT industry.

According to Computer Weekly the July 2002 average salary figures for the North West are:

PC Support, Senior PC Support: £20,000 pa
Internet, Web Author / Editor: £25,500 pa
Consultant positions and contract salaries are considerably more.

A study conducted by Fairfield Research and Certification Magazine shows that getting certified can lead to a 12% increase in salary or close to a $6,000 raise!

CompTIA A+ gives an 11.1% increase!
MCSE gives an 12.6% increase!
CCNA gives an 16.7% increase!

Multiple certifications directly correlate to pay increases. With one certification, the average pay was $53,000, with five certifications, it is $62,000, with ten, the average pay was $75,000.

Many (IT) businesses require A+ Certification as a prerequisite to hire, requiring new employees to attain the A+ Certification within 90 days to continue employment. Many hardware vendors will only allow A+ Certified Technicians to perform warranty service.

There are an estimated 620,000 unfilled jobs in the U.S. alone. Due to this shortage, there are many potential jobs for i-Net+ / CIW certified individuals including:

Internet Systems Administrators.
