What is the best method of obtaining the skills and experience necessary to meet the Open Group IT Specialist Certification criteria?
There is a set of foundation skills that form the basis for an IT Specialists practice. An individual seeking to become certified should, where practicable, obtain training to satisfy the foundation skills criteria — for example, a Project Management course, etc. But most importantly, prospective candidates should seek to acquire the work experience that enables them to demonstrate that they possess the required skills. The needed experience is best obtained and imparted through a combination of formal mentoring and individual performance and empowerment. We strongly suggest that prospective candidates discuss the Conformance Requirements with their managers, seeking support in shaping their work assignments to help acquire the skills and experience needed to achieve certification. Accredited organizations may support the process by establishing a formal IT Specialist mentoring program designed to grow their community of certified IT Specialists.
