Computer Networking Certifications

Posted on September 1st, 2008 in Cisco, CompTIA, PASS4SIDE by

According to a 2006 survey done by Foote Partners LLC, networking certifications pull a salary premium of 9.2%. This is higher than the 8.2% average pay premium for all certifications. Networking skills are valuable and a certification gives you leverage over the competition when looking for a great job. With all of that said, here are my 5 picks for great networking certifications.

1. Cisco CCNA
The CCNA is the first of three levels of certification offered by Cisco. The next two are the CCNP and CCIE. I would put all three on this list, but that would be redundant. The CCIE is one of the most respected certifications out there. Getting a CCNA is just one step to that goal. There are six different tracks to choose from for the CCNA and you have the ability to focus on a specific area by getting a specialist certification.

2. Cisco Certified Voice Professional (CCVP)
To get this certification, you must already hold the CCNA. Then you will take five additional exams. When you are done you will be able to implement, operate, configure and support a converged IP network. The exams focus on VoIP (Voice Over IP), Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and Quality of Service (QOS). Your certification will be valid for three years.
Using the online virtual CCVP Bootcamp or CCVP Braindumps at Pass4side, no need to purchase anything else or attend expensive training, we promise that you can pass the CCVP certification exam at the first try , or else give you a FULL REFUND. In addition, CertInside offers free CCVP practise tests with real questions.

 

Never Stop After You Get That First Certification

Posted on September 1st, 2008 in CompTIA, PASS4SIDE by

No matter what job you have in the world of IT, there’s always more than one cert that fits the job. Let’s look at my job, working on office equipment. There are 3 certs that can be used on this job alone.

There’s the new PDI+ for the machines (like copies, faxes & printers)
There’s A+ for the computers at sends your work to the copiers, etc
And there’s Network+ to keep them connected together.
(This is just a start, there are so many others.)

Too often members think all that’s needed is that “almighty A+”. Well, maybe if you never do anything but repair PC’s and work as a bench tech your whole career. There was a post today from a member who had a B.S. degree in computers but the employer still required A+. I don’t get it, is CompTIA becoming the new benchmark for the IT world? Don’t think so, but at times it looks that way.

What I am trying to say is, why stop at one. If A+ can get your foot in the door, what would happen if you added Network+ or CCNA. All this and I have not touched on the Microsoft certifications. Knowledge is power and a higher paycheck. If you stop, there will always be someone waiting in the wings to run you over for that next step up.

In short, the learning never stops. Websites like Proprofs is here to help. There’s always a member or moderator to help answer that question that can put you over the top to your next certification.

Don’t be a one cert wonder. Study on!!!
