Why You Should Enrol For a Professional Certificate Course

If you could do just one thing that would guarantee you a salary raise and promotion, would you do it? Of course, you would! In a 2018 survey conducted by Consultancy Korn Ferry, it was revealed that over 70 per cent of employees would want a salary raise or promotion in the next year. 

If passed over for a raise, 66 per cent of employees said they would identify the reasons and work to improve. One of the most obvious ways to improve is by advancing education through the taking of professional courses. In another study conducted by the National Center on the Educational Quality of the Workforce (EQW), an increase in workforce education is directly proportional to an increase in employee productivity.

Many professionals take professional certificate programmes to add more value to their companies and fast track their career. According to the Global Knowledge 2020 IT Skills and Salary Report, African IT professionals who obtained a new certification saw their salary increase nearly $13,000. This alongside many other studies shows a direct correlation between a number of certifications and an increase in salary and job promotion.

However, not all certification programmes are equal. It is not enough to undertake a professional course; one must determine that the course taken is from an accredited and reputable institution. It is also important for the professional to be able to apply what he/she is taught to the workplace environment and that enrolling for the course will not hurt his/her ability to work efficiently at the workplace.
