About Cisco

With change being the only constant in the IT industry, it’s imperative to add to your professional credentials at regular intervals in order to remain competitive and employable. Whether you are looking to set yourself apart from the other recent graduates, are changing your career direction completely, or wish to build a strong case for a promotion, a Cisco certification is a powerful, and timeless, tool.

Cisco has been at the forefront of networking and security since 1984, cementing its reputation as an industry leader. By becoming Cisco certified, you gain invaluable foundational knowledge that will inform much of your future learning.  

There are many Cisco certifications available, prime of which are CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE.  Cisco courses are available in short formats or through packaged training in which a Cisco qualification can be gained while also completing a certificate, diploma, advanced diploma, or bachelor’s degree. From mastering CCNA routing and switching to a thorough understanding of networking devices, these online Cisco training courses cater to all.

The Value of a Cisco Certification

A Cisco certification is a valuable asset for IT professionals like network engineers, network security experts and data centre managers, validating your technical skills and increasing professional credibility. Individuals who obtain a Cisco CCNA (otherwise known as a CCNA certification) have better job prospects and can work with networks that have fewer than 100 nodes, making them well suited for roles in small-to-medium enterprises, as well as WANs or wide area networks.

A Cisco certification is an essential step for networking roles, as well as a good basic certification for all other IT professionals, as these courses generally do not have demanding entry requirements.

What You Can Learn Through Cisco Training Courses

A Cisco certification provides hands-on learning, typically focusing on routing, switching, security, wireless and VoIP. There are Cisco courses available for beginners and advanced learners alike. Those who are unfamiliar with Cisco or even IT as a whole can find courses which cover basic IT literacy, networking, operating systems, security threats and software features and functions. Those wishing to add to their already-powerful repertoire of IT skills can take more advanced Cisco courses, focusing on security, voice, wireless and video solutions as well as advanced IP addressing and routing. Once you have grasped these concepts, there will then be a certification exam to test your knowledge of Cisco technologies and methods.
