Salary Survey 2001

CCNA Numbers


The Cisco Certified Network Associate title proves knowledge of networking for the small office/home office market. CCNAs can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer). The title is a step on the way to more advanced certification, particularly, the CCNP.

All numbers are based on 2000 average base salary.
