Rent-a-CCIE
Cisco introduced CCIE in 1993 to help individuals, companies, industries and countries succeed in the networked world, by distinguishing the top echelon of internetworking experts. Today the CCIE program sets the standard for internetworking expertise and evolves with the industry. |  |
What CCIE certification stands for:
- CCIE identifies experts with the skills and experience to handle the most challenging assignments in their field. CCIE exams are constantly updated and revised to evolve with the industry, focusing on current technologies and real-world applications.
- CCIE is recognized worldwide as the most respected high-level certification in the industry. The program continually updates and revises its testing tools and methodologies to ensure unparalleled program quality, relevance and value.
- CCIE is an objective way to compare individuals, or job candidates, with different experience and backgrounds.
- Preferred status is given to Cisco partners who employ CCIEs.
Why you should hire a CCIE:
- Maintenance of your network is fundamental to protect assets and to ensure seamless operations. The environment is growing more complex with operations conducted over VPNs, wireless, remote access and the Internet. You need proven experts to choose, implement and maintain the solutions required.
- Having certified staff can increase the confidence of your customers, investors and business partners, and thereby boost your organization’s credibility, reputation and value.
- Certified CCIEs are a highly-select group. Less than 3% of all Cisco certified individuals make it to the CCIE level, a tiny fraction of IT professionals worldwide.
- Passing the exams is not easy. Earning your CCIE requires passing a lab exam in a time pressured environment. Hands-on experience is the only way to prepare for the lab.
- CCIEs have invested a lot to expand their knowledge and further their careers. The average candidate spends thousands of their own dollars and at least 18 months pursuing certification.
- CCIEs are committed to maintaining their expert skills. Keeping their status active requires passing a recertification exam every two years.
What if your company can't afford to hire a full time CCIE?
Hiring a fulltime CCIE can be a very expensive proposition for many companies. Even if you are lucky enough to find a CCIE who is willing to join your staff, retaining a CCIE is a challenge. Unless you can continually feed your on-staff CCIE with challenging projects and problems, he/she is going to grow bored and even begin to resent your company for their feeling of skill-erosion. Its those same personality traits and internal drive that is integral to the process of becoming a CCIE that often make poor qualities in a full-time employee.
