Cisco Systems Certification has some of the most widely respected and highly sought after IT certifications in the industry. Individuals who earn the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification are consistently among the highest paid IT workers. To preserve the integrity of the certification process and the value of itscertifications, Cisco has partnered with Pearson VUE to implement a tough new set of security measures.
“Employers rely on our certifications to validate that a potential employee or contractor has the level of knowledge and expertise to perform on the job,” said Fred Weiller, Director of Marketing for Learning@Cisco. “For an individual a certification represents an investment in time and money to present himself as an expert in the networking field. We are acting to defend the integrity of Cisco certifications.”
“I’ve been in testing since the 1980’s with Control Data’s first computer testing implementation,” said Randy Trask, Vice President of Market Development for Pearson VUE, “and I can tell you that cheating has always been around. What’s changed is the pervasiveness of the internet. In a half second, an individual can compromise intellectual property around the globe in forums that are highly categorized and easily accessible.”
