| Project Management Professional (PMP): | | It costs a lot to atain project management certification and is costs to maintain current certification. | | The Project Management Professional is hard to obtain and hard to retain - earnings in excess of 100,000 USD is expected for these people and well justified. | | Extensive knowledge of all project management matters is mandated - project management is an important skill. | | While not every person may have passed all PMP exams, we expect most people to be highly knowleedgeable and skilled in this topic. |

| Microsoft Small Business Specialist: | | Most customers need MSBS advice, guidance and consumtancy on a regular basis. | | A starting point is to become a Microsoft Partner, subscribe to the Action Packs and pass the exams. | | Office is a dominant skill and while Office may be in the decline, it is still a major source of revenue. | | Extensive knowledge of Office tools is mandated - Office is a mandated skill. | | While not every person may have passed all MSBS exams, we expect most people to be highly knowleedgeable and skilled in this topic. |

| Certified Information Security Manager (CISM): | | Security is where all the growth is at and where earnings will exceed 100,000 USD, but its not easy. | | It is a long road of exams and experience that is mandated to become a CISM - the role has a very high professional standing. | | Continuing education is mandated - what was good practice last year may not be good enough this year. | | Extensive knowledge of all security matters is mandated - security may be the single most important skill. | | While not every person may have passed all CISM exams, we expect most people to be highly knowleedgeable and skilled in this topic. |
