Cisco Systems Inc. specializes in communications and networking products and services. The company's business routing and switching products direct data, voice, and video traffic across global networks. Cisco also provides storage networking, applications for unified communications, telepresence, and collaboration (WebEx), and a variety of services ranging from basic product support to comprehensive data center and cloud management solutions. The Cisco Career Certification program is comprehensive to ensure that IT professionals have the skills and knowledge necessary to support Cisco products and address a variety of technology problems for customers. In other words, certification begins at the entry level, progresses through the associate, professional, and expert levels, and (in some certification areas) culminates at the architect level. Each tier provides multiple credentials. Typically, earning a credential requires passing one or more certification exams. The majority of Cisco exams are administered by Pearson VUE. In order to obtain higher-level credentials, candidates must also demonstrate that they satisfy the prerequisites. The greater the level of certification, the greater the credentials and prerequisites that must be met. Cisco certification curriculum overview Cisco's portfolio of certifications includes the following credentials: CCENT - Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician Certified Cisco Technician (CCT) CCNA is the Cisco Certified Network Associate Associate, Cisco Certified Design (CCDA) Professional Certified in Networking (CCNP) Professional Cisco Certified in Design (CCDP) Expert in Cisco Internetwork Technologies (CCIE) Expertise in Cisco Design Technologies (CCDE) Certified Cisco Architect (CCAr) There are numerous certifications and career paths available through Cisco's career program. Consequently, its two primary tracks include network operation and network design. A typical Cisco networking certification progression begins with the entry-level CCENT certification, then advances to the CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE. The design-oriented should instead consider beginning with the CCENT, advancing to the CCDA, then the professional-level CCDP, the CCDE, and concluding with the CCAr. In addition to a variety of specializations, the Cisco Career Certification program offers a number of certifications. These certifications recognize a professional's proficiency with a particular Cisco technology, such as data center application services, voicemail and messaging, or rich media. There are two primary categories for Cisco specializations: one for technical specialists and the other for digital transformation specialists. IT professionals can presently choose from 15 specializations across these two categories. The Technical Specialist category comprises six subcategories with the following specializations: Collaboration Data Center (FlexPod) Network Programmability Operating System Software Service Provider Internet of Things (IoT) Digital Transformation Specialists include Business Architecture and Customer Success-related credentials. Typically, obtaining a specialist credential requires passing one or two examinations. Some credentials also impose prerequisites. Entry-level, associate-level, and professional-level certifications are valid for three years, while CCIE and specialist certifications are valid for two years and CCAr certifications are valid for five years. Cisco professionals must recertify by passing a recertification exam or advancing to a higher level in Cisco's certification hierarchy in order to maintain their certifications. Entry-level Cisco certifications Cisco offers two certifications at the entry level: Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) and Cisco Certified Technician (CCT). Candidates must pass a single exam to acquire either the CCENT or CCT credential, for which no prerequisites are required. Install, maintain, and troubleshoot minor networks or a branch of an enterprise network, as well as implement fundamental network security. CCENT certification is required for associate-level CCNA solution track certifications and the CCDA. On-site at customer locations, CCTs diagnose problems and replace network-related equipment. A CCT can select from a variety of specialty paths, including Data Center and Routing and Switching.

We will discuss and review the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) and Project Management Professional (PMP), two well-known certificates, in the sections that follow.     What does the CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) Certification mean? One of the top certifications provided by the nonprofit PMI is the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), which was originally presented in 2003. It is designed to help people develop the abilities required for knowledge and positions in project management at the entry-level. The knowledge of the principles of project management, comprehension of the terminology, and procedures for effective and successful project management is demonstrated by this certification.     Considering that CAPM is appropriate for entry-level professionals, it is ideal for individuals who are new to the field of project management or who are attempting to gain a grasp of how to manage projects or work on vendor-neutral projects. It is regarded as the initial step in establishing a career in the field of project management.     The only requirements for the CAPM certification are a high school diploma and either 1,500 hours of professional project team experience or 23 hours of project management education. People with the CAPM certification may be interested in positions like:     Project Manager, Project Manager at the entry-level, and Associate Project Manager     Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification: What Is It?     The most sought-after project management credential worldwide is the Project Management Professional (PMP) designation from PMI. It was first offered by the PMI in 1984 and is the most sought-after credential among aspiring project managers and seasoned professionals. It is recognized as the industry's gold standard. The PMP certification focuses on certifying a person's competencies and key skills in managing projects and teams to produce results while keeping in mind the limitations of time, money, scope, and quality.     3 years of professional experience are necessary for the PMP certification, with at least 4500 hours of that time spent managing and coordinating project work. A high school diploma is necessary, along with five years of professional experience and at least 7500 hours of managing and coordinating project work.     Join the PMP Prep Course Online today to take the top-tier industry gold standard certification at your own pace and time from the convenience of your home.     Comparison of the CAPM and PMP certifications     Although the same company, PMI, offers both the CAPM and PMP certificates, there are clear differences between the two, some of which include: S.No: Category/Criterion CAPM PMP 1 Suitability (Certification suitability for aspiring candidates) Entry-level or Junior aspirants in project management Seasoned project managers or those carrying at least 3 years of experience 2 Qualifications required (Minimum requirements to apply and be able to take up the certification) Diploma (Secondary/High School) + 23 contact hours* Degree (secondary) + 60 Months PM experience** + 35 contact hours* (Or) Degree (4-years) + 36 Months PM experience** + 35 contact hours* 3 Costs associated (Exam fees from PMI depending on membership status) $225 – PMI Member $300 – PMI Non Member $405 – PMI Member $555 – PMI Non Member 4 Certification Validity (Period up to which the exam is valid and post which it needs to be renewed/requirements fulfilled) 60 Months (5 Years) 36 Months (3 Years) 5 Pattern of examination (Type of evaluation questions in the certification) Multiple Choice Questions - 150 Multiple Choice Questions - 180 6 Duration of examination   (Time duration to complete the certification exam) 180 Minutes (3 hours) 240 Minutes (4 hours) 7 Exam Content (Exam syllabus and scope of study) PMBOK PMBOK, PMP Exam Content Outline – 3 domains: People, Process,  Business Environment 8 Level of difficulty (Complexity of evaluation to pass the exam) Relatively easy (vis-à-vis PMP) as it is based on PMBOK theory Tough as it goes beyond theory and evaluates the practical application of project management concepts 9 Renewal criteria (Criteria to achieve to keep the validity of the examination intact and ongoing) 15 PDUs / 36  Months 60 PDUs / 36 Months 10 Salary increment potential (Scope of increment in salary for certified professionals) Yes – for role-specific opportunities Yes – high potential vis-à-vis other PM certifications     Contact hours are the number of hours that can be used toward education. PM experience equals project management expertise     PMP vs. CAPM: Exam and Cost     If a person is a PMI Member instead of registering and paying as a non-member, the fee is lower for both examinations. PMI charges a fee for both the certifications to administer the exam and the costs related. Therefore, it is wise to first purchase a membership before paying the exam fees to save money. In contrast to the PMP test, which costs $405 for PMI members and $555 for non-members, the CAPM exam costs $225 for members of PMI as opposed to $300 for non-members.     The cost of simulators, practice exams, and training may increase the cost of the CAPM exam or the PMP exam even though these are only the fees for taking the exam; the amount of personal investment required as well as the category chosen will determine how much these costs add up to. Exam requirements for PMP vs. CAPM     The PMP requires project management experience, i.e., experience leading projects, along with a four-year formal degree or a diploma (in which case more PM experience hours are required), whereas the CAPM requirements are significantly less onerous. The latter is more popular and ideal for college graduates, interns, or even current students who are looking to add this valuable credential to their resume to pursue a career in project management. People taking up CAPM are not required to have PM experience, which is one major reason why the latter is more popular among and ideal for them. The CAPM certification also serves as a prerequisite for obtaining the PMP certification, as it entitles a prospective PMP holder to a remission of the 35-contact-hour requirement for exam eligibility. One of the main distinguishing advantages as well as the distinction between CAPM and PMP certification is this.     Depending on their level of formal education, PMP certification requires persons to possess different levels of PM experience, as follows:     For someone with a secondary degree (such as a high school diploma, associate degree, or the international equivalent), they would need at least 60 months of project management experience and 35 contact hours of project management training or the CAPM certification.     For a person with a 4-year degree, they would need 35 contact hours of PM coursework or the CAPM certification, as well as at least 36 months of project management experience.     PMP vs. CAPM: Any professional would be wise to invest in salary comparison certification because it will raise their earning potential, promote job security, and give them a competitive edge in the job market. Additionally, it can open up opportunities for individuals to receive pay raises in their present and future professional roles. Let's take a quick look at how the PMP and CAPM affect the person's income: CAPM vs PMP certification - Salary comparison by experience level* S.No: Category/Criterion CAPM® certified professionals PMP® certified professionals Non-certified professionals 1 Average US Salary 65,000 125,000 77,000 2 Salary <5 years 46,000 108,000 73,500 3 Salary 5 – 10 Years 67,000 125,000 85,000 4 Salary 10+ Years 80,000 140,000 95,000   CAPM vs PMP Salary comparison by Job Role* S.No: Job Role/Designation CAPM® certified professionals PMP® certified professionals Non-certified professionals 1 Project Manager – Level I 68,000 83,000 56,500 2 Project Manager – Level II 78,700 96,000 65,300 3 Project Manager – Level III 94,300 115,000 78,200 4 Project Management Consultant 98,400 120,000 81,600 5 Director of Project Management 119,000 145,000 98,600 Roles and Responsibilities of CAPM and PMP     Professionals who hold both the PMP and CAPM certificates are expected to begin leading and managing projects using the finest techniques and lessons learned from the PMI's PMBOK, or Project Management Body of Knowledge. Having earned a PMP certification, a professional is better prepared to take on duties and responsibilities that correspond to program management, project management, and project control and execution. To design processes and manage projects within the project limitations and a variety of external circumstances, organizations look for PMP degree holders.     On the other hand, without a CAPM certification, tasks and responsibilities would be restricted to entry-level jobs or associate project managers who would assist program or project managers in carrying out projects as needed. Such duties sometimes involve performing as a project coordinator, assistant project manager, or supporting project manager during the delivery and execution of projects. It's also critical to remember that a professional's certification only qualifies them for a role or designation; it does not bind them to it. Depending on the organizational setting and project demands, someone with a CAPM certification may be acting in a leadership capacity. What project management certification is the most appropriate for you?     Choosing from these widely recognized, accepted, and career-catalyzing certifications will enable you to embrace success and a variety of professional growth guidelines. If you're asked which PM certification is best or whether PMP or CAPM is better, the answer depends largely on your professional trajectory. Understanding a person's enthusiasm for project management is essential before choosing the best professional path and credentials to help achieve the chosen objective. Both of these credentials have benefits and are dependent on many variables, such as the candidate's current job, career goals, project management experience, and growth objectives, among other things.
