This is why Cisco is leading the IT industry.
Posted by Markus Langenfeld - 06/28/08 at 12:06:55 amA subject that I can talk about from personal experience is the importance of including Cisco based training into your education if you’re considering a profession in the IT field. Over the years Cisco Systems has radically expanded its certification lineup, they have training for everything from basic networking fundamentals to creating an enterprise-class VoIP infrastructure - and getting certified isn’t nearly as hard as you’d think.
Cisco has become the clear leader in technology training because they are a leading innovator and manufacture of IS equipment. Cisco can give IT professionals the skills needed to perform their jobs because they created the tools that countless businesses and organizations depend on for networking and communications. In fact, Cisco certification courses are so big that many High-Schools around the country now offer students the opportunity to get certified even before they graduate.
Cisco Systems recently launched a brand new website called The Cisco Learning Network. The website offers in-depth information about the certification courses and it helps people find the right track for the technology careers they’re interested in. This new website is a big improvement over the old Cisco Academy website because it has a whole community aspect that allows students to network with each other and become more involved with the company and its developments which could make the process of getting certified that much easier.
I can honestly say that my Cisco training played a big part in getting the job I have today and I utilize the skills I’ve learned from the CCNA course for my everyday functions with the company. If you have any interest in an IT career and for some reason haven’t looked into Cisco training, I highly recommend checking out the new Cisco certification website.

I’m very happy so far with CCNA 1 and 2 that I have completed at school. If only Packet Tracer were better or if we had access to real equipment at the school which I attend, the program would be pretty close to perfect.

Could not have said it better myself. I use the Learning Network as a resource in my own personal training regimen. I have not even finnished my training but am already seeing the benefits of the courses. It will surely take me far in my business endeavors.

This is a subject that can be talked about, but not argued with. I was just reading another article about Cisco’s IP PBX winning over Nortel and Alcatel’s IP PBXs in a series of tests. This is one the reasons that they are ahead in this industry: they never stop evolving, creating new and better equipment and offering their full support through training camps, online courses or at their, or their partners’ facilities for the certification you would need.
