Hi all,

Please i will like to know what IT course/certificate(with hands on experience) a person can do in Nigeria and still be relevant in USA.Am thinking of getting and remaining relevant in my field even if i decide to leave the country at any point in time for the US of A.

i will appreciate advise from nigerians in atlanta or any other part of america who have a first hand information on my enquiry.

Thanks

CompTIA Certificates are well respected in the US. The regular microsoft & java are also good, but comptia is the bomb.

Mr knowitall.:
A certificate wont do you any good really...a degree is much better...then all you would have to do is just take a test or whatever.....but a certificate doesn't mean anything...because the certificate could have been given to you by your uncle in Makoko..so they dont trust it...cheers

Mr knowitall you seem not to knowitall afterall...lol, he's not talking about that kind of certificate u have in mind. Most, if not all IT certifications are Globally recognised, do u think comptia, cisco, microsoft, oracle, etc are Naija stuff?...

Mr knowitall.:
