IT authentication is getting increasing attention in recent years and many friends in this field intend to pass the exam. However, quite a lot of people don’t know anything even the most basic things, such as registration, examination and training. According to the large number of advisory we have received before, we write this article with the classic questions asked, and offer answers to examinees with their questions. So that you will have a very clear understanding of the structure of IT certification. Due to the current half of exam certification exams volume are the Cisco certification, and other IT certification exams are also similar to this, so in the following we will take the Cisco 646-046 exam test as an example.
1. Enrollment articles. Many friends have written us letters to ask where they can make the registration, how many times in a year and when they can take the tests about a variety of IT certification exams. As for the Specialist Certifications Exam, you can attend it at any time, which is depended by your choice. Why? Now, let’s begin with the frame of the IT Certification Exam. Cisco certification as we always say is no doubt a qualification eaxm for technicians from Cisco company, but this certification exam is not ordered by the company itself, the company consign its certification exam to exam companies, such as Sylvan, VUE and so on. These companies have test centers in more than 100 countries in the world, these centers are also connected through the network, the daily test results can be quickly sent to the commissioned company’s exam database. As for the IT enterprises, the exam commission cost is very low, so almost all IT certification are entrusted to the Sylvan and VUE agent, while the two companies are also agents, such as GRE, TOEFL, with which we are more familiar.
The time of test is arbitrarily decided, because the centers have exams almost every day. The flow of 646-046 examination is that firstly you apply for examination in an examination center and determine the time for examination. At the exam day, the exam center will download all the exams for the examinees include you, you just need to choose yours to exam. However, in some places due to fewer candidates, the examination center will choose two days in a week as the examination time to concentrate the candidates, so you need to consult the specific examination time from test center.
2. Training If we want to attend the test, we must receive training, which is cared by many friends. Here we can answer you clearly, training have nothing to do with 646-046 exams. Though a man without any technique background can registrate in the certification exam, of course he will not pass. As we mentioned above, Sylvan Test Center is a specialized agency company for examination in the international society, while the training center is a training institution, which is accredit of related IT companies who confer certifications. As both kinds of organizations could apply, the training centers have also applied for becoming exam centers.
Maybe you think that your base are so poor that you should go to a training class. But you remember that all the IT certification trainings are intensive tuition. Through training for only a few days, it is impossible to turn a noob into a master. Because they have to finish Specialist Certifications classbooks with thickness of hundreds of pages in several days, about 200 pages each day averagely. Therefore, if you are poor in foundation and can not read the teaching material at least one time before training, how can the training effect be obvious? Training Centers are also commercial organizations guided by the market, in which the good and the bad are more intermingled. So when you choose a training centre, don’t only care the pass rate, it’s the most important to truly enhance.
