Why get certified?

Telecom certification has benefits for both individuals and employers. Individuals may use certification to show an employer, or potential employer, the valuable and desirable knowledge skills they possess. Certification allows an employer to confirm that their employees have the required knowledge skills either individually or at the group level.

Taking telecom courses and obtaining a telecommunications certification is a great way to prepare to work in the telecommunications industry. Whether you are a programmer wanting an extra edge to work for a telecom company, or in sales, analysis, finance, marketing or management with a telecom company, gaining a broad understanding of telecommunications technologies, networks and services, and obtaining a certification to prove it can only enhance your prospects.

For employers, online training in today's broadband converged telecommunications, wireless, VoIP, SIP and networking, covering the fundamentals, services, technologies, equipment and common practices is a cost-effective and consistent approach to train new team members - or to increasing productivity, accuracy and performance by getting your whole department on the same page.  The cumulative benefits will far, far outweigh the costs.
