This is the first of several blogs looking at the IT Certification

and Career Paths with Cisco.

Cisco offer five levels of general IT certification:

Entry, Associate, Professional, Expert and Architect, the highest

level of accreditation within the Cisco Career Certification

program

There are 8 different paths. Various tracks – such as Routing and

Switching, Network Security, and Service Provider – are available,

so that you can match your certification path to your job role or

industry.

Full details of the Career Certifications and a map of the various

paths can be seen here.

The Entry level Certification Path across all tracks is the CCENT®

Certification

Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) validates the

ability to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise

branch network, including basic network security. With a CCENT,

network professional demonstrates the skills required for entry-

level network support positions – the starting point for many

successful careers in networking. The curriculum covers networking

fundamentals, WAN technologies, basic security and wireless

concepts, routing and switching fundamentals, and configuring

simple networks. CCENT is the first step toward achieving CCNA,

which covers medium size enterprise branch networks with more

complex connections.

The required exam for CCENT is the 640-822 ICND1 and the

recommended training course to prepare for this exam is:
