Aspiring IT professionals frequently ask me questions like “How can I get into an IT job?” and “What is the best IT certification path for a network administrator?” Unfortunately, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer because there are so many variables, such as how much knowledge you start with and what type of jobs are available where you live.
However, if you are focused on landing an IT job and you‘re willing to take the time to master the materials, you can earn several certifications that will make you highly desirable as a network administrator, one of the industry’s most essential and opportunity-rich positions. Learn the material, earn the certifications, and you’ll have an opportunity to shine at network administration job interviews.
First, what is a network administrator? Most people define a network administrator as someone that maintains hardware and software on a computer network. In a large organization, the network administrator is a mid-level IT worker focused primarily on maintaining networking components. However, in smaller organizations, the network administrator is also responsible for desktop support for end-users, maintaining servers, and managing any other devices connected to the network.
CompTIA has ISO/IEC 17024 certification. ISO/IEC 17024 means that you are certified to run a certification program. This focuses on having well-documented processes including scheduled exam revisions.
CompTIA says that the Security+ exam “is scheduled to be updated to SY0-501 for the summer of 2017” and there will be an overlap of approximately six months in which you can choose to take either the SY0-401 or SY0-501 version. That’s vague enough to allow some wiggle room. My guess is that SY0-401 will end on December 31, 2017. End of year, end of the test, like SY0-301 and 2014. Meanwhile, the SY0-501 exam will appear sometime roughly “in the summer”.
