Cisco, the global technology leader driving the Internet, has collaborated with Certiport to develop the Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) certification program.

This initiative comprises two comprehensive exams meticulously crafted to assess practical skills and knowledge, enabling individuals to secure employment opportunities in the dynamic fields of networking and cybersecurity. Acquiring a Cisco Certified Support Technician certification signals to potential employers that candidates possess the expertise required to make an immediate impact from day one.
