Both businesses will offer courses for each other’s customer base. Cisco will provide training and certifications for the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model’s network layer. For its part, BICSI will grant credentials for those working in OSI physical and data link layers.

As we continue to see double-digit growth in the job market for network architects, engineers, technicians and security specialists, we are working with industry leaders to assist the growth of talent for the industry.”

This customized approach will help solidify BICSI’s stance in getting CECs for our global community as well.”
