Examples of Certifications
A+ PC Technician Cert: http://certification.comptia.org/a/default.aspx
Network+ Cert: http://certification.comptia.org/network/default.aspx
Security+: http://certification.comptia.org/security/default.aspx
Certs are basicly test you write and if you pass you get a certificate which proves to employers you know the info in the test related to networking, hardware, software, etc.
I think certs, are good for geting you an interview with an employee, and learning the vocabulary and knowledge needed to perform the job. They are good for people who don't have a lot of experience around computers or working in IT.
But getting certs. for the sake of just putting them on your resume, or trying to impress a boss, some buddies is kind of stupid. It is like those people who get a degree for the sake of getting a degree, but not doing much with it when they get it.
