Cisco, the worldwide leader in technology that powers the Internet, has partnered with Certiport to create the Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) certification program.
This program includes three certification exams designed to validate work-ready skills and knowledge to help learners find a job in the field of end user support, networking, and cybersecurity. Earning a Cisco Certified Support Technician certification showcases the learner’s skillset to employers, telling them they are ready to roll up their sleeves on day one.

It helps prepare learners for high-demand roles in tech support, networking, and cybersecurity, including analysts, auditors, support specialists, and technicians.
Learners that earn the Cisco Certified Support Technician certifications are expected to have the required knowledge and work-ready skills necessary to launch a career in IT support, networking, and cybersecurity, through at least 150 hours of instruction.
