Know-hows of CCNA (1)

In recent years, more and more attentions have been paid to IT certifications, many friends in the field intention to take the test. But many candidates are not clear about some basic problems such as registration, examinations, training, etc. The article is written based on the most typical and the most frequently asked questions in previous consultation, and gives detailed explanations for the questions the candidates are greatly concerned about, makes them have a clear understanding about the whole IT certification structure. Because more than half of the certification exams are Cisco certification at present, and other IT certification exams are more or less the same, so we take Cisco 640-802 exam as an example.

1.Registration. Many friends send us letters to ask where to registrate for all kinds of IT certification exams, how many times in a year can take part in, and when to take the exam. As for CCNA authenticating examination, I should say that no matter when you want to take this examination, you can determine it by yourself. But why? This has something to do with the structure of IT authenticating examinations. Cisco certificates are the qualification authentication of the technicians in Cisco Company. Nonetheless, the company is not in charge of the certificates but has entrusted certificate exams with the companies specializing in the management of exams such as Sylvan, VUE, etc. They have exam centers in more than 100 countries all over the world, which connected by network and exam results can be transmitted in no time to the database of entrusted exam companies. As for the IT enterprises, the cost of a entrusting exam is very low, so almost all IT certifications are entrusted to Sylvan and VUE, while the two companies are also agents of exams we are more familiar with, like GRE and TOEFL.

Exam time is free to decide, because in the theory examination centers can test every day. The flow of 640-802 examination is that firstly you apply for examination in an examination center and determine the time for examination. At the exam day, the exam center will download all the exams for the examinees include you, you just need to choose yours to exam. As there are much fewer examinees in some places, the exam center will pick out 2 days in a week as exam days to gather the examinees. As a result, you have to refer to the exam center for the exact exam time.

2.Training chapter. Must participate in training to be eligible to have certification exam, it is issues that many friends concern. Here you can get the clear reply, training and 640-802 exam have nothing related. Even if a person without any technology background can register the certification exam, of course, he can not pass the exam. As above mentioned,Sylvan exam centre is an international exam agent, and training center is an organization authourized by relevant IT enterprises who issues certificate.

But usually these two kinds of institutions get authorized by the form of signing for, thus, generally, common training centers also apply for the qualification of examination centers for the sake of convenience at the same time. If you might be weak in it, you think you should attend the training. Please remember that the current IT certificate trainings are all intensive and you cannot change from a rookie to an expert within a few days' training.
