Career Certification Initiative The world of networking and systems administration is a highly competitive arena that continues to grow in complexity as technology evolves. With this growth, the demand for highly trained experts increases daily. The benefits of Certification are: • Certification provides a standard, tangible way of measuring technical skills. • provide job advancement opportunities. • Certification provides worldwide third party validation of your skills.
Targeted Audience Who should take the certification exams • Experts(E): People who have sufficient experience in maintenance and administration of networks(3-5years) or people who have a thorough knowledge in all the prerequisites for the course. • Proficient(P): People who have basic knowledge of networks and system administration. • Novices(N): People with little or no programming and networking background.
Why offer courses at ODU • Vendor courses: On an average each course is 5 days long (8 hrs./day). • Corporations are reluctant to sponsor their employees for the courses since the fee is astronomical. • ODU: Offer similar courses, at a much lower cost. • Courses are of longer duration (1 - Semester) and hence students have the opportunity to gain more exposure and hands-on lab experience.
How much do Certified Professionals Earn? • How much does it Pay ? • With less than 3,000 graduates in Cisco Certification program’s history, it is no wonder that CCIEs (Cisco Certified Internetwork Engineer) command starting salaries of at around $80,000 to $90,000 pa. • Because of the high demand and high standards set by Sun Certification courses, sun certified Administrators demand starting salaries of around $90,000.
