Certified Internet Web (CIW) Professional Certification is an increasingly popular certification that is an alternative to program specific certifications. Geared toward specific high tech jobs (i.e. site administrator, security professional, etc.), this certification provides a wide range of skill development in fundamental networking and security along with development programming without endorsing any specific company. CIW credentials include Associate, Professional, Security Analyst, Web Developer, Master Designer, Master Administrator, Master Enterprise Developer, and Master Web Site Manager. CIW certification is considered to be the largest and most widely accepted job-specific certification and can help new and seasoned IT professionals enhance their careers with powerful and industry-standard credentials. The certification is accredited by Association of Internet Professionals (AIP) and endorsed by the International Webmasters Association (IWA) as well as by the National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET). CIW Associates, the lowest level of certification, earn an average of $45,000, while Master Web Site Managers earn more than $80,000. To learn more about Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW) programs.
