Why Become CCENT/CCNA Certified?

Why Become CCENT/CCNA Certified?
Cisco, not unlike Microsoft and Novell (Linux), has created the certification process to give
administrators a set of skills and to equip prospective employers with a way to measure skills or
match certain criteria. Becoming Cisco certified can be the initial step of a successful journey
toward a new, highly rewarding and sustainable career.
The CCNA program was created to provide a solid introduction not only to the Cisco Internetwork
Operating System (IOS) and Cisco hardware, but also to internetworking in general,
making it helpful to you in areas that are not exclusively Cisco’s. At this point in the certification
process, it’s not unrealistic that network managers—even those without Cisco equipment—
require Cisco certifications for their job applicants.
If you make it through the CCNA and are still interested in Cisco and internetworking,
you’re headed down a path to certain success.
