Answer:
Acquiring vendor certification indicates that you have the knowledge required to perform at a specified level as an IT professional. There are a range of certifications open to IT professionals and some are more in demand than others. However, the need to acquire sound conceptual knowledge cannot be overstated. It is necessary for students aspiring to become IT professionals to first acquire a broad exposure to different technologies and skills, before focusing on specific certification skills. This approach also allows you to identify your own aptitude and interest areas, prior to committing yourself to the certification process. Certifications should therefore be viewed as one component of a broader career plan.

Yes, many of the courses are mapped to international certification from Microsoft, Sun Oracle , amongst others. Aptech’s courses are designed and developed based on inputs and international market research from the industry and global technological trends. The curriculum undergoes a detailed technology review every year and is constantly updated to stay contemporary. Alongside the building of conceptual knowledge, there is a significant emphasis on hands-on training in application areas.

Answer:
Aptech has been working closely with education institutions in different countries right from inception. We currently have alliances with universities in U.K., Australia, India amongst many more. Our unique Dual certification Program provides you with an arrangement where your Aptech ACCP (Aptech Certified Computer Professional) certification at an Aptech training center can simultaneously earn you credits at a university in alliance with Aptech abroad.

For example, students in Vietnam can do Aptech’s ACCP program at any of our centers locally and then transfer their credits to premium universities in the United Kingdom to complete the final year over there and earn a B.Sc. Honors Degree in any computing field. This option helps prospective students to save over 70% of the cost of acquiring a UK degree, while still enjoying the prestige associated with it.

Answer:
Firstly, Aptech’s courses are designed and developed based on inputs and international market research from the industry and global technological trends. The curriculum undergoes a detailed technology review every year and is constantly updated to stay contemporary. Alongside the building of conceptual knowledge, there is a significant emphasis on hands-on training in application areas. Secondly, as a training institution, we have till date imparted training to over 6 million individuals globally, an enviable benchmark. Our national foot print in Vietnam extends to 32 centers spread across the country and aims to increase in the next year. This means that your certificate is widely recognized across the industry.

Thirdly, only students at Aptech can opt to transfer their academic credits from Aptech to leading universities in the UK and elsewhere, enabling them to complete their graduation. Our students are also widely accepted within the industry, with several of our alumni now working in leading multinationals across the globe.

Answer:
It is a global phenomenon that a gap exists between the demand and availability of IT professionals. It is true of Vietnam as well. As Vietnam rapidly catches up with the rest of the world in IT, the country's demand for IT professionals is growing much faster than many other economies. A lot of new demand is being fueled by the huge investment in telecommunications, bank mergers and consolidation in insurance companies. Using information technology and its tools, whether through a personal computer or some other type of electronic equipment, is equivalent to driving a car. It's something that everybody needs to be able to do. Given the above positive scenario, this is an excellent time to become an IT professional.
