Program Description

Students must have received their CCNA Certification or have completed the courses in the Cisco CCNA Specialist technical certificate program.

The Cisco CCNP Specialist certificate program is designed to prepare the experienced LAN & WAN technician to take the four Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) exams. In addition to preparing students for the exams, the curriculum provides the skill sets preparation that will enable students to perform associated tasks. High school graduation or GED is required for admission to this program.

Employment Opportunities

According to the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) employers will create a demand in this country for roughly 1.6 million IT workers this year. With demand for appropriately skilled people far exceeding supply, half of these positions will likely go unfilled. In a total U.S. IT workforce of 10 million, that shortfall means one job in every dozen will be vacant.

Notes:

• A grade of “C” or higher is required for all courses with the prefixes CIS.
