What sets CIW apart from vendor-specific certifications?
A vendor-specific certification validates an individual’s skills and knowledge in using one particular product. Such a certification limits skills validation to that product and/or vendor. The CIW program is vendor-neutral, meaning that the program focuses on the essential skills needed to perform job roles rather than simply use specific products. However, CIW does not ignore essential tools and applications. CIW verifies your ability to use a broad range of cutting-edge technologies and tools. You learn about multiple vendor tools, their underlying technologies and how they’re used in business situations — essential because many companies’ technology infrastructures are hybrids of multiple vendors.
