Certification Track
In mid 2007, Cisco made significant investments in its education and certification programs to equip more people for successful careers in networking. A new certification, CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician), was added to present a new point of entry for those just building a career in networking. This certification is an optional stepping-stone to CCNA status.
The CCNA certification sequence was also updated to include a greater breadth of networking topics and more focus on performance-based skills to differentiate Cisco certified applicants in the IT job market.
