Certifications set you apart from the crowd
Certifications show ambition, technical knowledge, and a desire to grow both yourself and your career. They serve as a validation of your ability as an IT professional to hiring managers, showing your value and competency. Continuing your professional education with certifications ensures you stand apart from the competition, and keeps you proficient in the most current technologies.
Certifications can also ensure that you earn what you deserve and often significantly raise your average starting salary.

Expert-Level Cisco Certifications
Cisco Certified Interwork Expert (CCIE) certifications are the most prestigious certifications in the industry. As a CCIE, you are considered an industry leader, adept in deep technical networking knowledge and are highly valued. CCIE certifications are divided among five major tracks, each covering a major area of network engineering expertise. Less than 1% of networking professionals worldwide earn a CCIE certification, and so to become a CCIE is to become part of a very exclusive, highly sought after group. Often considered the PhD of Network Engineering, CCIE certification is often considered a prerequisite for many high-level network engineering roles. The average starting salary for CCIEs ranges from $110,000 to $175,000 a year or more, depending on additional certifications and experience.
