At present, China's computer certification examinations are divided into two categories according to organizers: domestic examinations and foreign examinations:
First, the domestic examination (main): the domestic computer examination is mainly based on knowledge certification, which mainly tests whether the candidates have basic computer-related knowledge. Subdivided into the following categories:
1. National Computer Rank Examination
National Computer Rank Examination (National Computer Rank
Examination (NCRE for short) is a national computer proficiency examination system approved by the former State Education Commission (now renamed as the Ministry of Education), sponsored by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, which is geared to the society and used to examine candidates' computer application knowledge and skills. The examination center of the Ministry of Education is responsible for setting questions, organizing examinations and issuing certificates.
The examination is divided into four levels, namely: (1) Level 1: There are three subjects, level 1 MS Office and level 1 WPS.
Office, Level 1 B. (2) Level 2: There are seven subjects, namely language programming (C, C++, Java, Visual Basic, Delphi) and database programming (Visual
FoxPro, Access). (3) Three levels: divided into four categories: PC technology, information management technology, database technology and network technology. ⑷ Level 4: divided into three categories: network engineer, database engineer and software test engineer.
Computer technology and software professional technical qualification (level) examination.
The so-called "Computer Software Examination" is a national examination led by the Ministry of Personnel (changed to Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security) and the Ministry of Information Industry (changed to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology). Those who have obtained the certificate through the examination show that they have the level and ability to work in the corresponding professional posts. The employing unit may, according to the needs of the work, select the corresponding professional and technical posts (technicians, assistant engineers, engineers and senior engineers) from those who have obtained certificates, and it is not necessary to carry out the qualification evaluation of professional and technical posts with corresponding majors and levels of computer technology and software. Therefore, this kind of examination is both a professional qualification examination and a professional title qualification examination.
Computer technology and software technology qualification (level) examination is divided into primary, intermediate and advanced, as follows: (1) Primary qualifications: programmer (original primary programmer, programmer), network administrator, information processing technician, e-commerce technician, multimedia application production technician, information system operation administrator and web page producer; (2) Intermediate qualification: software designer (former senior programmer), network engineer, information system supervisor, e-commerce designer, software evaluator, multimedia application designer, database system engineer, embedded system designer, computer-aided designer, information system management engineer, information technology support engineer, software process capability evaluator, system integration project management engineer, information security engineer and computer hardware engineer; ⑶ Senior qualifications: Information System project management division, System Analyst (formerly System Analyst), System Architecture Designer, Network Planning Designer, System Planning and Management Engineer.
3. National information technology level examination.
The Electronic Education Examination Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (National Electronic Information Application Education Center) (now renamed the Education Examination Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) is responsible for the specific implementation of the national unified examination. This kind of examination is a comprehensive evaluation of the technical level of professionals who are engaged in or will be engaged in information technology. Its purpose is to speed up the cultivation of information technology talents in the national economy and provide effective basis for enterprises to select and use information technology talents reasonably.
At present, there are 7 certificates: computer information processing technology certificate, computer programming technology certificate, database application system design advanced technology certificate, information system development advanced technology certificate, local area network networking advanced technology certificate, computer network management advanced technology certificate and Internet application advanced technology certificate. In 2004, two certificates of computer information processing technology (Linux module) and advanced technology certificate of computer network management (Linux module) were added, including 9 certificates and a series of examination books.
Second, foreign exams:
Foreign computer examination focuses on technical certification. Generally, a company launches a technical certification for its products to examine the degree of mastery of the company's technology. Please visit the relevant websites for details.
1. Microsoft certification (technical certification of various operating system software, database software and office software produced by Microsoft).
Cisco certified (practical application certification of various network equipment and related software produced by Cisco).
3. Sun's JAVA certification.
2. Certification of two database management software developers, Oracle and Sybase.
5. Certified product experts of various multimedia software companies, such as Photoshop and AUTO.
CAD, Macromedia web page making three musketeers and so on.
Now there is a Huawei certification, which is the technical certification of network equipment and related software produced by Shenzhen Huawei Company, similar to that of foreign countries.
For such a wide variety of exams, what kind of exam you should choose depends on your future job and the current actual situation. Personally, I think that computer technology work should prepare basic knowledge and practical technology, because they complement each other and are indispensable. If you want to do it deeper and better, you must have solid basic knowledge and relevant experience. Therefore, it is recommended to have basic knowledge in China and practical skills in foreign countries. So you can choose two courses according to your own situation, which is enough.
If you want to engage in programming, you can take a programmer suitability grade in China and then take a Microsoft certification.
If you want to engage in network design, you can take the computer level test level 3 network technology (this test is the most basic and simple, and it is recommended that friends who have no foundation take the test first) or the network designer of the software level test (this test is more demanding and difficult to take). Foreign exams can choose to take Microsoft certification or cisco certified according to their future jobs. Microsoft certification is nothing more than windows2000 is more common, and Cisco is very professional. Professional network companies are generally.
If you want to engage in web design (including dynamic web design), you can choose network programmers who take the software proficiency test and foreign Macromedia network three musketeers.
If you want to design a database, you can choose the three-level database technology to take the computer grade exam, so that you can have the basic knowledge of the database, and then take the Microsoft database certification. Some majors can be certified by two other professional companies, namely Oracle and Sybase.
If you want to engage in computer art design, it is enough to take those foreign art certification exams, such as Photoshop certification exams.
If you want to engage in construction, machinery, electronics, aerospace, chemical industry, shipbuilding, textile, clothing, geography and other engineering design work. , you can choose to take the foreign AutoCAD professional certification exam.
