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. He or she will attempt the lab exam more than once before passing.


• CCIEs are committed to maintaining their expert skills. Keeping their status active requires passing a recertification exam every two years.
