Networking skills are in demand across a variety of industries, including high tech, manufacturing, finance, healthcare, media, transportation, and utilities apart from the regular IT and dot com companies. A Cisco Certified Network Associate and Cisco Certified Network Professional holds added skills, knowledge, information, and aptitude entailed for a Network Engineer accountable for setting up, arranging and managing switching, routing and networking systems.
Among the many essentials of a Cisco Network engineer, we have always found a few reasons for professionals to certify. Network professionals have a high demand. Usually HR professionals filter them on the basis of certification criteria. Your key skills will be useful to have you displayed in a HRs filter-list. But definitely there are a few advantages. Lot of professionals feels the need not to certify. Why certify when I am getting paid already let’s talk about it. Professionals who are certified have an definite advantage over those with an equivalent level of hands-on field experience.Cisco Certifications confirm that you have the theoretical and practical knowledge in required areas. These may include routing and switching, security, voice, Service provider and wireless technologies.
