Cisco Entry Level

A person who has decided to begin a career in networking needs to be ready and on par with the basics of a network.

Networking and the name that comes to the mind is 'Cisco'

Cisco Systems, Inc. is a world leader in terms of networking and communication products and services.

The first step in achieving an Associate-level certification would begin with achieving a CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) or a CCT (Cisco Certified Technician) certification.

From the below table, you would decide the Certification path

Certification Paths	Routing & Switching	Design	Network Security	Service Provider	Service Provider Operations	Storage Networking	Voice	Wireless
Certification Exam	CCENT	CCENT	CCENT	CCENT	CCENT	CCENT	CCENT	CCENT

As you can see in the above mentioned table, the main certification that needs to be completed is CCENT which is the same as far as the Certification exam is considered but it would be different in the higher level certifications.

This is where you need to choose a career path that you would be pursuing in the networking world.

CCENT exam code was 100-101 ICND1 which was retired on August 20, 2016 and the new exam code is 100-105 ICND1
