Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
Voluntary certification credentials are provided by professional associations and certification agencies (e.g., Arcitura Education, CertNexus, Cloud Credential Council, DevOps Institute, IEEE Computer Society, ISC2) and tech companies (e.g., AWS, Cisco, IBM, Oracle). In this highly competitive field, developers who are certified often have a better chance of landing a job than those who are not certified. Additionally, certified developers typically earn higher salaries than those who are not certified. No licensing is available for IoT developers.
