I confess, I’m not a programming geek nor I give time for it. I’m in love with networking, administering and troubleshooting computers. And I constantly involve myself in technical trainings regarding those fields. It doesn’t just keep me up-to-date, it also gives me more window of opportunity.

And since I manage an internet cafe I guess I needed more training to help improve by business. So then, in the last couple of terms, I enrolled for Cisco at our school’s Center for Continuing Education and Special Competencies (CCESC). I decided to enroll there because I don’t have the luxury to go to more expensive schools and primarily because they’re harder accessible. Also CCESC is where I finished my HP-Unix training and I know how good they do their job.

When I finished my technical training at dBWizards about Managing Windows XP, I was delighted to receive a certificate of completion. I felt really good.

Now, I’ve been thinking of pushing further. I want to have that Cisco certification. So that when I graduate, I see myself employed as Network Engineer, an IT Administrator or a Technology Specialist. It’s what I love doing.

One question that looms, though is: What certification should I get?

There are basically two types of certification. General and Specialist Certification. General certification includes Routing & Switching, Design, Security, Service Provider, Storage Networking, Voice and Wireless.

To help you achieve this certifications, Cisco offers an online Learning Center. Neat huh!?

I admire my friends from South Spiral who do code work as their job. Carla, Audrey, Dominic, Samantha, Wil, Tonio and specially our friend Glad, who now works in Japan as a coder by day and a pron watcher by night. Hi Glad! LOL.

Seriously, they all are successful and I want to be like them, too. For me, taking Certifications such as Cisco is one way to go BIG in IT.

Involve in IT? What’s your story?
