Like Microsoft, Cisco leads the way as one of the globe's most well known engineering technology organisations. From its early origins some 26 years ago, 'Cisco' now spends something like $5b on R & D, and leads the world in networking hardware. Technological know-how from 'Cisco' underpins the whole internet. The Cisco branding is considered accountable for over 70 percent of all networking hardware. Unsurprisingly therefore, any person seeking to build a career path related to networking-hardware should refer to 'Cisco'. Beneath the 'Cisco' 'umbrella' there also are sections in Wi-Fi and Communications-Data, Voice over Internet Protocol and Security.

After the 'CCNA', qualification routes are quite varied & could very well include a specialization in Wireless or Security fields, alternatively you could consider moving on to the 'CCNP' (Cisco Certified Networking Professional.) It's not a good idea to contemplate doing the 'CCNP' until you've fully accomplished the 'CCNA'. You should expect to be operating in a 'Cisco' environment for about 12 to 24 months (together with your 'CCNA' certification) before you started to train for the 'CCNP'. The only exemption from this would be when you have quite a few years of networking experience built up & have dealt with much of the very same ground as the 'CCNA' qualification. Really an employer won't think about you for a senior position when you haven't got a reasonable amount of 'CCNA' level working experience & knowledge of industry.

To get a particularly well-rounded networking career path, you could potentially consider including the Microsoft 'MCSE' or 'MCSA' to your 'A+', Network+ and CCNA package. As there are so many possibilities to pick from, a career path like this ought always to be talked through with an experienced professional. This way you can be assured that nothing inappropriate for your requirements has been incorporated, & nothing at all is missed out.

Little wonder then that a great number of accreditation paths have been introduced by 'Cisco' to handle the myriad of technologies and patents it supplies. Usually though, the majority of students will commence at the same common point, before they move on over the more and more demanding variety of Cisco accreditation. Presently there are 2 exams for the 'Cisco Certified Network Associate', or 'CCNA' for short. They will prepare students of the right calibre with the requested technical expertise to work with medium sized networks with routers & data-switches.
