Network certifications are credentials you can earn to demonstrate you have the knowledge and skills to work with networks in the information technology (IT) field. They can be vendor-specific—focusing on the technology from one company, like Cisco or Microsoft—or vendor-neutral, meaning the things you learn should be applicable across different networking technologies. Certifications can be a good way for employers to quickly validate your skill level. Earning a network certification will grant you the skills needed to make you more competitive for the jobs or promotions you want; earning a certification can also be a solid way to invest in your career. Entry-level IT professionals with network certifications can go on to become network technicians, network administrators, network engineers, network architects or other network-related professionals. Knowledge of networks can also be useful for some system administration positions.
