Zaira

Zaira of San José, Costa Rica thanks Sykes – Fundacion Omar Dengo for help with CCNA which led to a job as Technical Consulting Engineer in the IT Industry.

“The skills I learned at Cisco Network Academy have been my foundational knowledge throughout the years. I have been a Cisco TAC engineer supporting server virtualization for over a decade.”

Scott

Scott of Coventry, UK thanks City College, Coventry for help with CCNA which led to a job as an IT leader in Germany.

“I was able to advance my career by obtaining the CCNA certification. I was able to move countries and hold positions that would not have been achievable without this baseline knowledge.

The in-person, instructor led training at the college enabled practical learning to take place and not just the theory. For sure, joining the Networking Academy was the most important enabler of my professional life.”

Olivier

Olivier of France thanks the MRIM AMPERE Marseille for help with CCNA and Networking Essentias which led to a job as teacher in the education sector.

“I have been a Cisco instructor for over 10 years. With the help of the academy’s training modules, I teach my students about network technologies. These future technicians, working in French companies and industries, enhance their career through the Cisco Networking Academy. Connected factories, IOT, cybersecurity of infrastructures and electrical distribution. In these challenges of tomorrow, Cisco is at our side.”

Bruno

Bruno of Brazil thanks AINET for help with CCNA which led to a job as Senior Network Analyst in the financial sector.

“Cisco Networking Academy was instrumental in my career. In 2011, I was studying for the former CCNA – however, without much enthusiasm, due to not having experience in the area and lack of quality material in my native language. When I got to know the NetAcad platform through my college, I ended up trusting and believing in the knowledge made available by such an intuitive, organized and analytical channel. Through NetAcad, I was able to focus again on studies and take the CCNA, then after a few years, the CCNP Enterprise. If it wasn’t for this platform, I may not have followed my career into the magnificent area of Networks.”

Haile

Haile of Ethiopia thanks Microlink Information Technology College for help with CCNA, which led to a job as Network and Software Engineer in the ICT sector.

“I completed the CCNA program and I found it to be one of the most critical training programs I have taken so far for my career development. The industry I work in is about the Network and Network Information Security. The training content is a perfect match for the skill set required for all of my projects. This program has enabled me to not only know networking and networking configurations of different Cisco devices, but also to deep dive into:

1. network security analyses
2. developing network operating systems (benchmarked on open sources)
3. PA (protocol analyses)
4. SDN (software defined networking).

My confidence, competency, and skills in networking and network security have grown, due to the paramount importance of this training. I highly encourage others, who are currently working or are going to start working in similar industries like me, to take this critical program as well.”

Marian

Marian of Slovakia self-enrolled in netacad.com and successfully completed CCNA and CCNP, which led to a job as Network Engineer in the IT sector.

“I started to study at my local university where I found an opportunity to be a part of Cisco Networking Labs. I achieved CCNA and CCNP certification for Switching and Routing technologies. Our lecturer was awesome and introduced Cisco devices to us, as well as the console command line which could later be applied in a real job. Networking Academy inspired me to search out and apply for networking job positions.”
