Cisco has just introduced a new associated entry-level certification, Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT). This is an optional certification that can be obtained after completing the first half of the CCNA curriculum.
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.
