Questions & Answers

If I only got certification for database administration, would that be good enough to land an entry level career without having to take 2-4 years of school?
Submitted on: May 31, 2012

Yes, you can land a job with only this certificate, especially if you have any prior database administration experience to back it up. An associate's degree would be a stronger credential, however.
