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 sincethe 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 programs 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.
