Designed to build upon Cisco’s most popular career certification CCNA, these highly specialized associate-level certifications offer individuals a career stepping stone in the converged technologies that make up today’s sophisticated networks. While Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) remains the certification of choice for individuals who want to demonstrate their solid foundation in core routing and switching skills, the new CCNA Voice, CCNA Security and CCNA Wireless certifications build on core CCNA skills and provide a clear path for individuals to prepare for a specialized job role in voice, security or wireless technologies.
