Cisco Certified Network Administrator(CCNA)

As per the IDC survey, a shortfall of professionals requiring Cisco expertise is estimated at  2 - 3 mn by 2012. Cisco is aiming to create 3 mn Cisco Certified Professionals by then. Currently, 0.69mn Cisco professionals exist worldwide. Cisco also recognizes the lack of infrastructure, long learning curve, insufficient reach and current offering value as the barriers to growth. NIIT joins hands with Cisco to offer an array of authorized programs to students and networking professionals to cater to this ever growing demand of skilled professionals.
