Cisco IT Learning Center

Cisco certification has a great program where you can learn an exciting IT career. There is a very high demand for competent people in the IT field and you can get started right there at Cisco. Learning the IT business can open up a world of other careers in many more industries than you think. Information technology is a business that can get you started to becoming an expert in your field.

I looked at their different certifications to see which one is right for me. They offer four different levels: entry, associate, professional and expert. Obviously, I’d be in the entry-level certification since I don’t have any background in the IT field as of yet. The entry-level position is called the CCENT certification, which stands for Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician. Candidates must already have knowledge to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, which means you must already have some skill before you can begin.

Think about the doors this could open for you. Cisco even has a career center that shows the many certifications and what type of job is associated with that particular certification. You can find just about anything you wish to on their site when it comes to IT certification. I have a friend who is an IT tech and I see how his career has progressed. I think it might just be something to look into for myself. He’s traveled all over the world with his job, which is an IT tech for the United States Navy and no, he’s not in the Navy, he’s a civilian. Imagine getting to do something like that!
