Someone recently asked me what the difference between certification is, and, skills, and I can only answer with my own opinion. Certification is a pathway to following to proof that you know enough knowledge to pass an exam, based on a vendors set of questions and answers. This means that you have demonstrated that you have set aside the time, to study a set amount of material, that you have understood it, and that you have the motivation and determination to pass a series of questions, to gain a certificate. Does this demonstrate that you can do this hands on in the real world? That depends, skills shows that you have the ability to performs tasks in the real world, and not based on a given scenario, with a list of answers to choose from, that you can overcome the problems in the real world, and that you can think on your feet, and complete a task in the work place, at home, or where ever you are dealing with this problem. Hypothetical Example: in an exam, you may have a question that asks you how to trouble shoot a computer that wont start up, and the best answer as a cable has come loose, but in the real world, the same scenario may be that the cables haven’t come loose, but it is a fuse that has gone, or that the monitor has broken, or something else, so there is a difference between certification, and real world.  

I look forward to the day when a certification is considered a badge for a junior person. That's because certification is mostly about following someone else's approach instead of thinking. All frameworks I'm aware of start with a predetermined solution. This has people certified in them typically not learn how to create their own. They do what they are certified in. This won't be next year - but I see the day coming. And when it does, those people who are going beyond the frameworks they are certified in will be in demand. Notice that no framework I am aware of, by definition, teaches you how to go beyond it.

Certification vs Worth: A thought-provoking insight on the disparity between certification levels and real value in the security industry. The correlation between certification grades and remuneration standards can sometimes be misleading, as highlighted in a recent discussion on security officer salaries. While a higher certification grade may suggest a certain level of expertise, the actual worth of an officer may not always align with this certification level. It's crucial to recognize that worth goes beyond mere certification, with many officers possessing lower grades proving to be more valuable than their certification implies. The attempt to set minimum income standards based on certification levels can lead to challenges, such as qualified officers being overlooked due to unrealistic remuneration expectations. Moreover, the oversupply of higher graded officers compared to the limited demand for such positions further complicates the employment landscape. In essence, the intrinsic value of a motivated and experienced security officer often outweighs the significance of certification grades when it comes to securing employment opportunities. It's imperative to reevaluate the existing standards to ensure that worth and expertise are accurately reflected in the industry. #SecurityIndustry #Certification #Worth #EmploymentOpportunities
