Do I need certification to work with Progent?
In a word, YES. Progent is seeking consultants with industry-standard certifications for the fields in which they specialize. For example, Microsoft experts should have earned MCSE certificates, Cisco consultants should have CCIE credentials, and security specialists should have a CISSP, CISA, CISM, or equivalent security credential. Progent acknowledges that a credential is not a guarantee of excellence, but as a professional consulting firm Progent believes that clients expect and deserve to be served by experts who have taken the time and effort to earn appropriate credentials. Progent actively encourages all staff consultants to earn additional credentials by subsiding training classes and aggressively marketing the services of consultants with the top certifications.
