Once a student has taken the exam and passed, he or she is required to sign a Cisco Career Certification and Confidentiality agreement. Once signed, a Career Certifications Certificate will be sent to the student by mail or electronically.<\/p>\n<p>For SPC students interested in CISCO certificates, Cisco instructor Michael Gordon is a great source. He has been employed by SPC since 2001 and has been working as a network engineer, installer and support technician since 1998.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon mentioned that there are three primary reasons students enroll in this program: Some students who already have a four-year degree, switch gears for a career change.
