Cisco Technical Training Institute - Home
Cisco certification ensures high standards of technical expertise. Achieving Cisco certification at any level means joining the ranks of skilled network professionals who have earned recognition and respect in the industry.
The first three levels of certification and specialization that Cisco provides for IT professionals can follow several different tracks to meet individual needs. There are many paths to Cisco certification, but only one requirement, passing one or more exams for demonstrating the knowledge and skill.
First Level of Certifications:
|
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
The CCNA certificate indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking for the small office/home office (SOHO) market and in operating LANs, WANs, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, RIP, EIGRP, Single-area OSPF, Serial Frame Relay, VLANs, Ethernet, Access Lists. |
|
Cisco Certified Design Associate (CCDA)
The CCDA program will provide a student with the knowledge and skills to develop and design integrated network solutions. The CCDA certificate holder will be able to examine a company’s current and future network needs and develop a network solution that meets and exceeds requirements for performance, security, capacity and scalability. |
|
Cisco CCNA Security Certification (IINS) TM Program (CCSA)
The CCNA Security program teaches the skills required to secure Cisco networks. The network professional will be able to demonstrate the skills needed to develop a security infrastructure, recognize threats and risks to networks, and lessen security threats. The network is becoming a more critical asset for businesses. As network technology develops and the network becomes a more critical component of business processes, expect the profile of the typical network professional to change dramatically. Networking staff will also need to work with the server, storage devices, security, and co-workers to operate the network as an end-to-end service delivery platform. |

Second Level of Certifications:
|
Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)
The CCNP program will prepare a student to install, configure, and troubleshoot converged LANs and WANs for organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes. Network Professionals who achieve the CCNP will be able to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless, and security into the network. |
|
Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP)
The CCDP program will prepare a student for CCDP certification with in-depth coverage of Cisco topics covered in BSCI, BCMSN, and ARCH. Achieving the CCDP certification means you have the knowledge and skills to design routed and switched networks involving LAN, WAN, and dial access services, apply modular design practices, and ensure the whole solution is designed to be highly available and responds optimally to business and technical needs. Also included with this program is content and storage application networking, voice/video applications and critical modern infrastructure services such as wireless access. Network services, like security and management, QoS and multicast, are also included. ARCH®, one of the required courses, will address mostly network services and solutions, and building upon DESGN®. |

Third Level of Certifications:
|
Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE)
This certificate is considered as the “PhD. Of Networking”. It indicates an insight into the implementation of practical internetworking strategies that are flexible enough to fit a variety of situations. The CCIE certified professional will be able to identify features and capabilities of routers and switches that meet specific internetworking requirements. |

Tri-C does not currently offer courses required for CCIE certification. |
Specialist Certifications:
|
Cisco Wireless Technology
This is an area of specialization in which a student may be certified. As technology moves to a wireless environment, qualified professionals are needed to adapt existing hardwired networks to wireless networks. These courses are designed to give students an understanding of wireless technology and to become qualified in this growing area. |
