3 Reasons to Pursue an SQL Server Certification

March 23, 2015

Sql Server

A SQL server certification is a vital addition to any IT professional’s resume. Obtaining it not only illustrates that the person has the skills needed to handle complex database software; it helps differentiate the employee in a labor market well known for being exceptionally competitive.

Here are three reasons that pursuing a Microsoft SQL Server Certificate should be in your professional development plans.

#1 – Opens the Door to a Six-Figure Salaries

The average database administrator earns around ninety thousand dollars ($90,000). It is generally estimated that a Microsoft SQL server certificate adds an additional ten percent to an employee’s yearly salary. If averages are kept, that means the salary for a database administrator with this certification will be around $99,000.

When including bonuses and an average two-year salary increase of an additional ten percent, the income earned will easily be six-figures.

Ten Years Later

Database administration is one of those fields where it pays to stick to it over the course of years. The average salary of someone with a Microsoft certification and ten years in a senior position in this industry is over $200,000. To put this in perspective, according to statistics, this places the earner in the top one-percent of income earners in the IT industry.

#2 – Sets the Stage for Future Innovation

The database management field has grown considerably in the last ten years. With considerable investments made in the underlying technology by corporate market leaders Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle, it is vital to understand the present to anticipate the future.

A Microsoft SQL Server certificate does this in three distinct ways:

Understanding of the Underlying Technology

Database architecture is a complex topic that requires years of careful study to fully appreciate. SQL technology has been developed since the mid 1970’s, lending itself to both a well-documented and complex existence.

A Microsoft certificate shows that the engineer understands how databases work, and is competent to manage them in a wide variety of environments. Considering the constant need for new databases in every facet of society, this opens the door to nearly every medium or large company around. Although the SQL Server certificate is about Microsoft SQL Server, the knowledge acquired can be applied to the other DBMS as well.

Improved Efficiency in Current Operations

Database management occurs in two distinct stages. The first is the backend, and the second is the user interface.

By having a good understanding of how to manage the back-end (the actual databases), it is possible to quickly implement a complete solution that the client or employer will be able to utilize immediately. This will decrease the time needed for debugging operations, allowing projects to be developed faster and at lower cost.

Additionally, SQL Server databases are increasingly used in everything from online shops, cloud infrastructures,  to corporate applications and gaming. Having an in-depth understanding of SQL Server will enable the holder to easily integrate and use tools from this system to effectively execute a wide range of tasks.

Better Security

By having a solid understanding of the SQL Server functions, it is possible to quickly perform a security audit of your databases. This valuable skill will become even more important in the years ahead, as people give more importance to software and database security.

#3 – Illustrates Skills Already Learned

A Microsoft SQL certification shows employers that employees have the skills and they are willing to prove it by becoming certified. Considering the challenges facing the IT industry, having the skills certified on a resume can make the difference between landing a job and joining the unemployment line.

Conclusion

Obtaining a Microsoft SQL Server certificate is a simple and painless process by taking any of our SQL Server Bootcamps.

For example within 6 days you can get an MCSA SQL 2016 Certification and learn how to work with the SQL Language and also how to design, setup and manage an SQL server. The skills you will acquire are not theoretical but they are practical through our innovative teaching methods.
