November 27th, 2011. Published under Construction News. No Comments.

Fremont, California (PRWEB) November 25, 2011

Unitek Education, a leader in the IT training industry, has received accolades from the network student community for its excellence in delivering world class Cisco CCNA training certification programs. As the IT industry moves forward and continues to advance, a strong background in Cisco CCNA certifications has not only ensured a major salary boost for those getting certified, but has also become a necessity for most professionals.

Unitek Education?s courses include courses in many Cisco-related skills, from CCNA Voice certification to CCNA Wireless training. Unitek Education is one of the few training providers offering a program in Cisco CCNA Wireless that includes AWFSS training for students.

In addition to the CCNA Boot Camp course, other CCNA certifications which have gained tremendous popularity are the CCNA Security boot camp, and the Dual Certification in CCNA + CCDA training. All the Cisco certification programs are authorized and approved by Cisco. Programs range in length from three days to two weeks, and students work directly with Cisco experts to improve their skills. Unitek Education follows Cisco?s recommended equipment list and provides each student with a switch, a router, and a complete set of core equipment.

In addition to helping people move forward in the IT industry, Unitek Education?s Cisco CCNA training and certification programs ensure that students receive important resources throughout the duration of their program. High-speed wireless Internet is available to registered students at all hours in the company?s training facilities and in the students? hotel rooms. Students may also receive an exam voucher valued at $ 250 as part of the boot camp package.

About CCNA Training

Unitek Education’s CCNA boot camp is taught by a team of Cisco certified industry experts, who are adept in not only CCNA curriculum, but also teach CCNP and CSP1 tracks. The instructors are also Unitek Education consultants, and spend a significant portion of their time providing high-end network infrastructure consulting services. Read what the Cisco student community is saying about our CCNA training:

?I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed taking the CCNA training through Unitek Education. I have already recommended the class to a colleague in IT who inquired about it. The quality of instruction was excellent. The instructor prepared me well to be success on the exam. His method of teaching helped me retain the knowledge presented. He made learning fun! I did meet with Bahram, my account manager. He was a pleasure to meet. I am hoping to be able to take another Cisco training course with Unitek Education when my schedule permits. Everyone I interacted with on the staff was very hospitable. This is an additional reason why I would take another class for Unitek Education.? R.W., Technical Support Engineer, CCNA boot camp

?The CCNA instructor has done an incredible job of teaching. I believe he can make a student coming from any technical background understand the concepts he is trying to teach. I came into the CCNA boot camp with an implementation background which is mostly hardware. After his introduction to the subject, concepts, and the exam point of view, I gained the confidence that I also could do it. Thank you very much for your help and support. This training gave me the confidence to go into the networking field. I would personally recommend any student for your class, anytime.? A.P., CCNA boot camp

Question by Brina: What jobs/salary range can an Associates in Applied Science Degree: Construction Management get you?
My bf is just now looking to attend a community college, would he be able to get a find a decent carreer with just this degree? What kind of jobs out of school with just an A.A.S. would he be looking at and what type of salary do these jobs pay? I know this is a broad question, but I really don’t know what he could do with an associates. I know it would be best to attend a state school after this, but if he doesn’t what would he be looking at? ANY advice on this would help! Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by tim_whatleydds
I think the job outlook and potential earnings will vary depending on where you live. If the college is a good one, they should have job outlook information for him by request–before he enrolls. That said, here is the job outlook from one community college in Nevada:

Construction Technology
Construction Project Management
Associate of Applied Science

The Construction Project Management emphasis provides management training that addresses topics of critical importance to subcontractors, general contractors, superintendents and project managers. Students will study contract administration, coordination, negotiation, quality control and the management of labor resources, equipment and materials.

Salary: $ 45,800–$ 68,200 / year (Nevada)

Career Outlook: Faster than average growth through 2014

Good To Know: About 47 percent are self-employed.
