The 14 Most Valuable IT Certifications
04 June 2022
BY SCOTT M. GRAFFIUS | ScottGraffius.com
Click here to download this article as a PDF.
In Technology, there's no substitute for experience. However, certifications remain a valuable tool for advancing one's career. Employers want candidates (and employees) with up-to-date knowledge and skills, and certifications demonstrate a person’s mastery of the respective subject. The author reviewed data from multiple sources — including BMC, CIO, Clearance Jobs, Indeed, and Robert Half — to determine the consensus on the most valuable Technology related certifications. Fourteen emerged. Here they are, in alphabetical order:
If you're interested in learning about the project management related certifications, visit the Scrum Alliance for the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) and the Project Management Institute for the Project Management Professional (PMP).
Many employers prefer to hire certified professionals, especially those who also have college degrees and successful work experience. Those who invest in professional credentials typically enjoy larger salaries.

In Technology, there's no substitute for experience. However, certifications remain a valuable tool for advancing one's career. Employers want candidates (and employees) with up-to-date knowledge and skills, and certifications demonstrate a person’s mastery of the respective subject. The author reviewed data from multiple sources — including BMC, CIO, Clearance Jobs, Indeed, and Robert Half — to determine the consensus on the most valuable Technology related certifications. Fourteen emerged. Here they are, in alphabetical order:
- AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
- Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)
- Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE)
- Certified Data Professional (CDP)
- Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)
- Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)
- Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
- Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)
- Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)
- CompTIA (A+, Cloud+, Security+)
- Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)

- Project Management Professional (PMP)
- Salesforce Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer
If you're interested in learning about the project management related certifications, visit the Scrum Alliance for the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) and the Project Management Institute for the Project Management Professional (PMP).
Many employers prefer to hire certified professionals, especially those who also have college degrees and successful work experience. Those who invest in professional credentials typically enjoy larger salaries.

In 2017, Scott M. Graffius started developing and reporting information on the most valuable Information Technology (IT) certifications. As technology advances and the marketplace changes over time, the skills and knowledge required to succeed may also change. Accordingly, Graffius periodically updates his respective work. The prior version was published in 2022. This article provides the new, 2023 version of “The Most Valuable IT Certifications.”
In Technology, there's no substitute for experience. However, certifications remain a valuable tool for advancing one's career. Employers want candidates (and employees) with up-to-date knowledge and skills, and certifications demonstrate a person’s mastery of the respective subject. Graffius compiled and analyzed data from multiple sources — including CIO, Robert Half, Indeed, PC Magazine, Skillsoft, Statista, and ComputerScience.org — to determine the general consensus on the most valuable IT related certifications. Fifteen emerged. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

Dr. Scott Weiner, professor of emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School, included that excerpt on metrics from Graffius (uncredited) in his talk in a 10 January 2023 podcast.

About Harvard Medical School
Harvard Medical School (HMS), established in 1782, stands as one of the oldest and most prestigious medical schools in the United States. Since its inception, HMS has been a beacon of innovation in medical education, research, and patient care, significantly influencing the landscape of healthcare worldwide.
HMS is committed to alleviating suffering and enhancing health globally through excellence in teaching, research, and service. This mission is carried out through its extensive network of 15 clinical affiliates and research institutes, including renowned names like Massachusetts General Hospital, Dana–Farber Cancer Institute, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. These partnerships not only provide a robust platform for clinical training but also serve as bases for over 10,000 physicians and scientists with faculty appointments at HMS.
Harvard Medical School's faculty has been pivotal in advancing medical knowledge.

Notably, HMS faculty have been at the forefront of medical breakthroughs, with 15 researchers sharing in nine Nobel Prizes for their work at the school, highlighting the institution's commitment to cutting-edge research.
The core of HMS's academic activities lies in its main quadrangle, where faculty members engage in teaching and research across basic and social science departments. Here, students in their first two years of medical school are immersed in an environment that encourages intellectual curiosity and rigorous academic pursuit.
Beyond its physical boundaries, HMS extends its influence through affiliations with leading hospitals and research entities like the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. These collaborations not only enhance the school's research capabilities but also ensure that its educational programs remain at the forefront of medical science.
Harvard Medical School's commitment to nurturing future leaders in medicine, combined with its vast network and relentless pursuit of knowledge, positions it as a pivotal institution in steering medical education and research towards solutions that benefit communities worldwide.
