Certifications, qualifications, non-formal learning and informal learning are all mutually supportive components of an IT professional’s career development. For this reason, it is necessary to recognise and support co-existence of the different educational paths, as standard education is not sufficient for the changing industry demands. It is common that IT professionals acquire expertise during their career, without formal qualifications.
