Information system project management division, system architecture designer and network planning designer are three certificates.

Recently, many friends have asked me which level I am suitable for, which level will be better, which level has higher gold content, etc. among the three levels started in the first half of 201/kloc-0. Because of the time, I can't reply one by one, so I will reply uniformly on the website, which is also convenient for other netizens to refer to. 20 1 1 in the first half of the year, the advanced level was system architecture designer, information system project management division and network planning designer, among which system architecture designer and network planning designer took the exam for the first time. According to my research on the examination syllabus and my own practical experience, I would like to talk about some views.

(1) In terms of exam difficulty, system architect is the most difficult, and architect is also the most lacking high-end position in the industry, so its gold content will be the highest. Moreover, I personally estimate that the gold content of the architect's certificate will exceed the system, because the industry has deeply realized the importance of architecture, and SMEs are in short supply of architects. Judging from the examination syllabus, the examination questions and contents of the system architect exam will basically overlap or be consistent with the system analyst exam, but the content is slightly biased towards architecture design.

(2) The information system project manager has passed the examination for 7 times, and the questions are basically finalized. Judging from previous years, the questions in the afternoon are concentrated in the field of "pure" project management, which is relatively simple. Therefore, relatively speaking, the information system project management division exam is not very difficult. However, this level of "practicality" is the strongest, because the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stipulates that since 2009, senior project managers need to have this certificate when system integration enterprises declare their qualifications.

(3) There is no prototype for the first exam of network planning designers. The form of the previous exam may change greatly until it is formed. And relatively speaking, from the perspective of industry application, the gold content of network planning designers is the lowest among these three levels. From the perspective of personal career development, generally speaking, a unit's network planning and construction work is a one-time basic investment, and it will take at least a few years after the network system is completed, so there is basically no separate network planning designer position in the enterprise.

Specific to each netizen, you need to make a comprehensive decision according to your career orientation, hobbies, test purposes, etc.
