Certifications for IT

[DLM_012]

I currently have an internship with a state agency in their IT dept. As a result, I have free and unlimited access to web based software that has interactive training. It seems to offer training for everything under the sun. While I have my internship, I plan to take advantage of this and study up as much as possible while obtaining certs. I have made a list of what seems relevant to my coursework and the certs I hear are important. The following below is a list that I have made. Can someone provide insight as to what I should prioritize?

Linux +

A+

N+

Server +

Security +

Microsoft MCTS

Microsoft MCITP

Microsoft MCSA Windows 8

Microsoft MCSA Windows Server 2012

VMware Certified Professional

Thanks ahead of time for feedback. If possible, I plan to knock out at least 2 certs/month maybe more.

Windows 8 and Linux are probably biggies maybe

I guess it depends on the path you want to take.

 

Personally I would take Linux, VMWare, and maybe security.

Learning Linux has been a personal goal of mine for some time now so I look forward to that.

I'm currently in the process of doing VMWare training. I didn't realize that it was this extensive.

 

Thanks for the feedback thus far guys

I don't know if the code is working now (it probably still works), but I got their Data Center Virtualization last month.

 

It's not really a big deal, but it's something and it was free.
