CCNA Review, Certification Exam Now in Davao City



Information Technology professionals need not go to Cebu or Manila anymore to get their CCNA Certification thanks to the establishment of the Concentrix Institute right in Davao City.

“This is a pioneering institute here in Davao City and depending on its success, we will be offering it next in our Manila office,” Concentrix Davao Site Director Gerardo Dumael said during the launch of the Institute this morning. Concentrix Institute, a wholly-owned subsidiary of leading Fortune 500 company SYNNEX, is located at the Damosa IT Park in Davao City.

The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Certification Training Course is being offered for a very affordable fee of only P26 thousand, way below the prevailing rates in Metro Manila. Dumael said the four-month CCNA Training is very friendly even to those who have to work during weekdays since the training is being held from 9am to 6pm every Saturdays and Sundays.

Graduates of the CCNA Training can get the Training with Certification Exam Package for only P40 thousand per person.

“We have been granted full certification by Pearson VUE as its Authorized Test Center for the CNNA and other IT-related certifications,” Concentrix Training Center head Takuya Nishiyama said.

Nishiyama said Concentrix aims to be recognized as a premier quality training provider for English Proficiency, Leadership and Management as well as for Technical Knowledge and Development.

“We use state-of-the-art facilities and cutting edge equipment for our on-site, off-site in-house training course, which are combined with classroom discussion,” he said. And since the Certification Exam is being offered right in Davao, Nishiyama said, students are able to save on travel and accommodation expenses.

Dumael said that after the CCNA Training, the graduates can expect to have the ability to “install, configure, operate and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks.”

The CCNA Training Program of Concentrix has already produced 77 graduates, with a 100 passing rate for Batch 1 to Batch 6. The next Batch of CCNA Training will start on June 26, 2010.
