The significance of getting Cisco certificatePosted by Urquhart Vinson on February 15th, 2021 Many people ask which certificate is most useful to them. Unfortunately, there is no simple or universal answer to this question. But to this or similar question, I have a summative answer: Nowadays, it is very popular to take the Cisco certificate. 60% of companies use Cisco products, so companies are likely to consider hiring new employees with Cisco certificates when recruiting. Although the certificate is not easy to get, there are still many people studying. Cisco and many other companies (such as journals and websites that conduct wage, economic, and Market Research) are spreading the idea that the higher your salary is, the more you get a certificate. The level of Cisco certificate is clearly divided, from low to high, and basic courses (such as CCNA) are regarded as those that can be obtained without a lot of experience and hard study. In my opinion, there is a reason to obtain the Cisco certificate and learn the Cisco Technology: that is, you have a written guarantee to master the Cisco product technology and you have network related experience. I don't think that all people who have obtained the Cisco certificate have the same level. Those who have studied and practiced in practical work should be selected as employees more than those who have obtained the certificate by relying on examination materials. Certificates should never be seen as a substitute for experience. For those who have just started or are engaged in primary network work, a certificate is better than no certificate; but for those who are engaged in intermediate or advanced network technology work, certificate is not as important as experience, especially for the network industry. I don't want to belittle those paper, but I think it should be more realistic True information, some people are very likely to get CCNA, CCNP certificates without contact with the network environment. These phenomena are absurd compared with the reputation of Cisco certificate. Like Cisco's certificate CCNP (Cisco senior network engineer certification), it is almost impossible to pass the CCNP examination without being familiar with routers and switches. In fact, in the two examinations of Cisco's top-level certificate CCIE (Cisco Internet expert certification), the failure rate of CCIE Lab's first examination is also very high, and it is impossible to pass the examination without enough practical router switch experience. If you want to become a professional and technical personnel in network, that's good. I suggest you get a Cisco certificate. But don't expect to wave a certificate signed by John Chambers to get a 000-a-year job. That won't happen. You need to find opportunities to find jobs that offer you practical work experience and manage a wide range of hardware and software products. You get the corresponding certificates from Cisco and other companies, and then learn practical experience. Using experience to support certificates is the only way to get a job promotion. There is a problem: some people pay little attention to the practical problems in their work. I've never heard of a company that only needs technical personnel with CCNA level. Therefore, having a higher level of Cisco certificate can help you provide enough technology for the company to solve the network problems in the actual work. Only CCNA certificate does not mean that you can deal with them. Certificates come from assumptions. When employers see the certificates listed in your resume, they will assume that you can engage in the work related to the certificates. If you can't support your certificates with practical experience, please don't mention them. For example, if you take out the CCNA certificate, you should be able to complete the basic tasks such as installing, debugging, and configuring routers and switches. Similarly, if you take out CCNP, then you should be able to install, configure and run LAN, Wan and dial-up access services, as well as network troubleshooting for large enterprise networks with more than 100 to 500 nodes. So, which certificate do you need to learn from Cisco? You need to consider it in combination with your future work. The certificate is consistent with network experience, technology and ability. If you can't engage in a job matching with a higher level certificate, please wait until you can do it. Spoto CCNA testLike it? Share it! |
