ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE AT BLOOMFIELD COLLEGE TO HOST CISCO, MICROSOFT OPEN HOUSES
March 22, 2001 -- To introduce prospective students to its Cisco and Microsoft certification programs, the Advanced Technology Institute at Bloomfield College will host a Cisco open house and registration session on Friday, April 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the Science Building, Room 16, on Liberty Street in Bloomfield. A Microsoft open house will be held on Friday, April 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the Science Building, Room 16.
The Cisco program, authorized by computer networking leader Cisco Systems, is designed to help computer-literate individuals earn certification and prepare for careers in networking.
The program allows students to be certified at various technical proficiency levels including Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), average salary $59,770; Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), average salary $85,000 with 2 to 3 years’ experience; and Cisco Certified Internet Expert (CCIE), average salary $150,000.
CCNAs focus on relatively simple networks, while CCNPs have the expertise to install, configure, operate and troubleshoot more complex Cisco-based networks. CCIEs represent the highest attainable certification level under Cisco Certifications and ideally possess at least two years of on-the-job experience in addition to the knowledge associated with the CCNP level.
Students may choose day, evening or weekend sections. As a Cisco Authorized Networking Academy, all classes are taught by Cisco-certified instructors using state-of-the-art equipment.
To enter the Cisco Career Certifications program at the Advanced Technology Institute, students should possess an understanding of computer software and hardware and a desire to learn network concepts and skills. For those without computer or networking experience, Advanced Technology Institute offers a slower paced program.
As a Microsoft Authorized Academic Training Program, the Advanced Technology Institute uses official curriculum and Microsoft certified instructors.
