Why you must take the Cisco Certifications every three years

Posted: 28 Jan 2010 12:06 PM PST

The world of technology moves at a rapid pace. Once you learn one thing, you can expect that knowledge to be obsolete in a couple of years. The only fields that probably compete with technology in how fast they change is probably being a scientist or maybe even a doctor. If you are a professional in the tech field, it is your job to be on top of new and up coming technologies. This is not to say that you must master everyone of them, but you should at the very least be aware that they are out there. The first time you stop attempting to gain new knowledge in your chosen field, is when you start to become obsolete. The people behind Cisco Certifications reinforce these ideals. Their certifications are only valid for three years. After that you have to be re certified.

When a company decides to back something, they are putting their good name at risk. This is the same when it comes to certifications. The company is basically backing you with their reputation. If you walk around with a badge, advertising that you are Cisco Certified, they want to make sure that you know your stuff. Getting a certification ten years ago and never retaking the test, doesn't show that you are knowledgeable about the latest technology. If you go to a potential employer and you know nothing about the questions that they are asking you, this makes them have a dim view of the certification itself. A bad reputation then makes the certification useless. Certifications are mostly about impressing the employer, in addition to getting the tech knowledge. If you are not able to do that, then it is worthless.

Some people will complain about too many new trends in technology and not all of them will last. Of course most of them will not last, but that is not the point. You should have known going in that technology is an ever changing field. This is not an unknown fact. It will not stop, just because you wish it to. The field is all about growth and taking ideas to the next level.

Cisco truly cares about their certification process. So much so, that they have set their certifications up with levels. There are five different levels of certifications, they are Entry, Associate, Professional, Expert, and Architect. If you are able to keep up with their technology, you will be able to rise up in levels. Becoming re certified every three years is a perfect way to do this. In that three years span of time, you should have been able to gain a lot more knowledge in your chosen section, so that you would be able to rise a level or two. This takes a large amount of discipline and future employers will recognize that.

Achieving a Cisco Certification every three years will help weed out the people who are not willing to keep up with the latest technology. In the world of tech, it is your job to be able to keep up with the latest developments. If you do not, then you will only be qualified for taking care of older technology. This can help you earn a steady paycheck but not in the most exciting way.
