Taking A Look At Cisco's Certified Voice Professional Certification |
 |
|
I hardly have to tell you how important voice technologies
are in today's networks; what we all need to keep in mind
to maximize our career potential is how important knowing
voice is going to be tomorrow.
We've always got to look forward in IT, both in our work
and out studies. Cisco, always the pioneer in technical certifications,
now offers a Cisco Certified Voice Professional certification
that is gaining a lot of attention from IT professionals looking
to add to their skills and their resume.
Cisco's CCVP track is a rigorous five-exam track that requires
you to earn your CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
certification before getting started. The five exams cover
a myriad of topics - they're not giving this one away! Here
are the exam numbers and codes you'll need to know to register
for the exams:
642-642 Quality Of Service (QOS)
642-432 Cisco Voice Over IP (CVOICE)
642-425 IP Telephony Troubleshooting (IPTT)
642-444 Cisco IP Telephony (CIPT)
642-452 Cisco Voice Gateways (GWGK)
Many newly-minted CCNAs wonder if they should pursue this
or the Security Professional certification immediately after
getting their CCNA. I recommend that a new CCNA pursue and
achieve the CCNP before going after these more-specialized
certifications. While it is not required by Cisco, the routing
and switching knowledge your will acquire on your way to the
CCNP will be invaluable to your career as well as being helpful
with your CCVP pursuits.
Besides, these certifications won't be going anywhere soon.
Think of how valuable you will be with a CCNP, CCVP, and CCSP!
