Andrew Stevens, CNet Training's President and CEO, says, "The CNet team is highly ambitious and continuously striving to create programs that help to develop and shape the future of the industry. Our Network Infrastructure Programs have become increasingly popular across North America and we are looking to expand this even further over the next couple of years. Our success, I believe comes from the fact that we listen and work with the industry, everything we create has been designed alongside industry experts. We take on board all the feedback and keep up-to-date with industry trends which means we are constantly updating and editing our program content so it remains in-line with current trends and technological advancement.
The CIIT® program was born out of ideas and feedback from one of CNet’s infrastructure forum which displayed a clear gap in the market for a program that supported the increased demand for Smart Building and wireless technologies.
The CNCI® program has proven to be incredibly popular, you only need to look on job websites to see that it's becoming a credential that is required or desired on many industry positions. This just shows that businesses are recognizing the true value the certification and qualification brings to the team and our aim is that it becomes an educational standard across the industry.
A team of professional trained and certified individuals significantly reduce the risks of things going wrong within the business and organizations can feel confident that their teams are highly competent and able to deliver a consistent quality of service."
