Hello everybody , I am going to discuss a hot topic here , Cisco Courses and certifications .
Cisco updated the system of the certifications recently and branched for example the CCNA into CCNA , CCNA voice , CCNA wireless , CCNA security and there's a whole great list of Cisco Certifications , for a person like me who loves IT , networking and almost anything technology-related , that's a huge temptation , i can't see that amount of knowledge and waste it , i mean when you acquire that kind of knowledge , you feel powerful , nothing can stop you , any problem you face you can solve with your knowledge and thinking , but the problem with acquiring the certifications is that you don't get your money back if you fail the test and that is a big problem when acquiring a certification like CCIE which costs 315$ per attempt for the written exam and 1400$ per attempt for the lab exam and according to a survey by Cisco itself the average cost to prepare for CCIE certification is 9,050$ spent mostly on practice equipment and self-study material...but on the other hand it's the highest level of professional certification that Cisco provides.
Cisco also says about CCIE "The most respected IT certification" .
Also the CCIE is generally reported as the highest salaried certification in IT salary surveys.
hope i added something to your knowledge
Cheers;

I am have several Cisco network certifications. As an IT tech at a university it is necessary but I would recommend it for many jobs. There are lots of things you might already know, but having a complete set of networking skills is worth the time it takes to learn. The cost for the test is inconsequential because you should already know all the info at that point; and if you already know it all its pointless not to get the certification. So study up, or take the 4 semester course on Cisco networking like I did:)
thanks for your info , i was just talking in general , not in specific BTW
