By now, most people agree that a network is a crucial strategic asset for information-intensive organizations of all sizes around the world. But as technology becomes more sophisticated, today's enterprise networks grow more complex. Clearly, the stakes are being raised.
To maximize the potential of your information management infrastructure and reap the many benefits it can provide, you need a sound understanding of Cisco Systems networking technology. From router configuration, to Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching, to internetwork design, there's a lot to learn. That's where Cisco's Training Partners can help.
One reason that Cisco is the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet is because of our ongoing commitment to customer training. The high standards embodied by our training are indicative of Cisco's overall focus on quality, backed by our compliance with today's prevailing ISO 9001 international standards. All of which means that when it comes to Cisco's certified Training Partners, you can count on quality training designed to meet your specific networking needs.
Since its inception, the continued expansion of Cisco's Training Partner program has enabled Cisco to educate hundreds of thousands of students about installation, configuration, operation, and maintenance of Cisco product solutions. Through our training, individuals can increase their expertise in a way that enables them to meet evolving corporate needs and fully leverage the power of their networks.
Today, this training is offered in 19 languages at more than 150 sites around the world, ensuring that Cisco users have local access to the certified training and hands-on laboratory work they need to better understand their networks.
It's important that any Cisco courses you attend are delivered by a fully certified Cisco Training Partner. That's because our Training Partners have already demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of networking, as well as a firm understanding of the local market and its technical networking needs. Around the world, from Birmingham to Bangkok, Tucson to Tokyo, and Boston to Buenos Aires, all Training Partners are committed to maintaining the quality and consistent delivery of all Cisco-developed training courses.
Cisco Training Partners are contracted on a country-by-country basis and must undergo rigorous training and testing to meet our stringent certification requirements. When you are trained by one of our Training Partners, you can be sure you're receiving all the quality that Cisco stands for. The knowledge you gain will be up to date, reflecting the latest trends in the networking industry. Equally important, product information will come straight to you from a Cisco Certified Training Partner, rather than from a secondhand, uncertified source.
Finally, Cisco Training Partners are uniquely qualified to assess your training requirements and create customized solutions to meet your special needs. These custom solutions can be delivered exclusively to you-either at a local Training Partner's office or on site at your various locations if required. By attending Cisco-certified courses, you move one step closer to qualifying as a networking expert in one of Cisco's certification programs. Being certified identifies you as a network expert, but also enables you and your organization to take advantage of a wealth of additional benefits offered by Cisco.
At Cisco, we've developed and refined all of our training courses based on extensive customer surveys and studies. We take care to audit student feedback to determine the validity of our curriculum. This helps to ensure that the information you receive is current, relevant, and designed to meet your commonly identified networking needs. In addition, most Cisco training courses emphasize hands-on learning in a laboratory environment. This setting ensures that you gain firsthand knowledge of our products and technologies in ways that enable you to easily apply what you've learned within your organization's information infrastructure.
Cisco currently offers more than two dozen different training courses, which are grouped under five broad categories:
- routing
- switching
- access services
- SNA solutions
- network management
These courses typically entail two to five days of classwork, held at various sites determined by our Training Partners around the world. Cisco training classes provide you with everything you need to help your network run smoothly and efficiently.
Our curriculum is updated frequently, with new courses being added on a continual basis to keep pace with the rapidly changing state of networking technology. In addition, Cisco offers a number of self-study classes designed for users who don't require the in-depth training offered by instructor-led courses. Delivered through a variety of innovative multimedia technologies, these courses serve as an ideal complement to the extensive worldwide training offered by Cisco Training Partners.
More certified trainers. More hands-on training. And more students trained annually than any other company in the internetworking industry. These are a few of the attributes of Cisco-certified training-attributes you can leverage through your local Cisco Training Partner.
