What are the possible disadvantages of the ICT Advanced User SIZ?

The ICT Advanced-User SIZ is a certification that attests to the advanced use of information and communication technology (ICT). With this qualification, you are able to use and apply various IT tools and systems efficiently. The certification is aimed at people who already have basic IT knowledge and want to take their skills to a higher level.

The main disadvantages of the ICT Advanced-User SIZ are:

  1. The ICT Advanced User SIZ certification provides advanced but not in-depth IT knowledge. It focuses more on the application and practical use of software and technologies. This training may not be sufficient for people looking for in-depth technical or specialized knowledge (such as programming or network technology).
  2. As there are many similar certificates on the market, the value of the ICT Advanced-User SIZ certification could be relatively low in some industries. Employers may see such certificates as a basic requirement that does not necessarily offer a real competitive advantage.
  3. The focus of the certification is on the efficient use of widely used standard software such as Microsoft Office. This could be considered less relevant in rapidly changing IT areas (such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence or specialized software solutions).
  4. The certification is mainly concerned with the application of existing technologies and may not always reflect the state of the art in very dynamic, rapidly changing technology areas. While practical applications are useful, the certificate may not be sufficient in certain areas such as software development or IT architecture.
  5. Anyone interested in specialized IT areas such as cybersecurity, database administration or programming will not be specifically prepared for these topics through this training. More in-depth, specific qualifications are required in these fields, which the ICT Advanced User SIZ certification does not cover.

 

The SIZ certificate as an ICT Advanced User can be used professionally in various areas, especially in professions that require advanced knowledge in the use of information and communication technology (ICT), but do not require in-depth IT expertise.
