About CCNA Cisco Networking Certification

Cisco is a name synonymous with the development of the Internet and the implementation of Internet technologies. As a prime mover in the world of I.T., Cisco is also renowned for it's structured certification programme which validates and recognises an individual's skills at a professional level in the management and application of these key technologies.

The CCNA certification validates an individual's networking skills and forms the base that supports all of the career tracks supported by Cisco. Holders of the CCNA demonstrate an industry-recognised ability to install, configure and maintain networks. It is a significant declaration of understanding, skills and ability. For many it will be more than sufficient to secure a career as a network professional - holders of the CCNA may display the designation on their business cards in recognition of their professional standing - whilst others may wish to use it as a catalyst for further study with a view to pursuing even higher levels of technical expertise (e.g. CCNP).

Today's organisations increasingly rely on the Internet and Intranets to compete in the global economy. Increasingly skilled professionals are needed to keep networks working smoothly and seamlessly. These organisations seek rigorously trained and certified individuals with the latest IP technology skills to ensure technical proficiency and to provide the resource to protect their mission critical operations. This is the essence of Cisco certification - it validates an individual's achievements and increases the holder's professional credibility. Quite simply, it is the industry's certification of choice.
