Why there is no licensure Exam for an IT Professional?

Is it really important to every profession to have a licensure exam? I believe that every professional needs a license. So that those professional would be able to prove that they are good or they know everything about their field. But how about those IT professionals who don’t have any license and don’t have a licensure exam either? Anyway, in my own opinion IT professionals don’t need one because their field is not that complicated compared to others. I am not saying that it is easy to be an IT professional, to be one is all you need is skills, patience, and an open mind. Everything in Information Technology can be learned though Technology itself.

IT is a broad field compared to those professions that has licensure exams. For example, the LET it focuses on teaching or for education , Doctors for medicine, Lawyers for Laws and a lot of professions to mention to. Their field focuses on one goal while IT has a lot of subfields to chose. They can chose whatever forte they like or thier skills will lead them. IT professionals studies the general informations about Information Technology. Technology nowadays is fast changing. Today, there are a lot of things IT people has developed, but that don't end there because sooner or later there are changes that will going to happen. Technology changes every now and then. Being an IT professional, you should master every single detail in you field. Having no licensure exam has also its advantage, like when your client complains your work they have nothing to take from you and you can still do your work to other clients. All you have to do is be honest and apply the ethical things as a professional. When you’re done with the IT course, you will not be pressured to pass board exam because we have none. We just have to adopt every changing of the trends in the technology. IT has a lot to offer, it’s up to you where you want to excel most. When you say IT professional, it is very broad compared to those who has licensure exams like for Teachers, Engineers, Police, Doctor and etc.

Even though a person is not a graduate of an IT course, he can be an expert of the IT field as long as she is interested with the field and willing to learn and has a vision about the future. You can have certificates like NCII and NCIV if you passed those. You cant have everything in this in world with a blink of an eye or without doing any effort on it. Everything needs to be done with determination and courage. It may have a licensure exam or none, to act and used the ethical values you can consider yourself as a professional. To have a license is important but for us IT people, all we need is the skills and dedication to do our work and license don't matter at all.
