What Cisco certification is most suited to an individual who is presently working in network administration?
The level of certification most suited for you depends on your current level of experience and your career goals. Certifications available along the Network Support path include: CCNA (Cisco Certified Networking Associate) is the entry-level Cisco certification and provides the basics of router configuration in relatively simple LAN/WAN networks. This is the level that HCC will be offering first. CCNP (Cisco Certified Networking Professional) CCNPs possess the skills necessary to support more complex networks including LAN, WAN and switching aspects found in larger networks. CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) certification is the highest Cisco certification level and is only achieved once you possess expert internetworking knowledge and extensive experience configuring a variety of Cisco products.
