Increasing Demand for Practical Network Skills

As the network grows in complexity, so does the need for training for individuals who implement and manage network infrastructure and solutions. A skills gap emerges when technology outpaces professional skills development.

To fill this talent gap, Cisco continues to develop training and certification products that help our customers be more successful using the network and the solutions that ride on top of the network—solutions such as voice communications, video services, and collaboration environments.

Job-Ready Practical Skills

The Cisco CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE Routing and Switching certification programs are practical, relevant, and job-ready certification curricula aligned closely with the specific tasks expected of these in-demand professionals. Cisco realizes that the network professional increasingly must focus on design, configuration, and support responsibilities as the technical consultant, specialist, or expert on a networking team. Therefore, the Cisco curriculum is specific to the best practices of network administrators, engineers, and experts using the latest Cisco network solutions.
