Cisco® Announces CCENT™, a new certification
From Cisco Systems®:
The Cisco® CCENT™ (Cisco® Certified Entry Networking Technician) certification validates the skills required for entry-level network support positions, the starting point for many successful careers in networking. Candidates should have the knowledge and skill to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security. CCENT™ certification is the first step toward achieving CCNA®, which covers medium size enterprise branch networks with more complex connections.
