In recent years, IT certification receives more and more public attention, and many industry friends have a plan for certification test. But many candidates are not familiar with the most basic problems such as registration, examinations, training, etc. The article is written based on the most typical and the most frequently asked questions in previous consultation, and gives detailed explanations for the questions the candidates are greatly concerned about, makes them have a clear understanding about the whole IT certification structure. For the reason that currently more than half of authenticating examinations come from Cisco authenticating examination, and other IT authenticating examinations are similar to each other, so the following article took Cisco 640-802 examination as an example.

1. Application. Many people wrote to me asking where they could apply for the various IT authenticating examinations, how many times they could apply for in a single year’s time and at what specific time they could take the examination. As for CCNA certification exam, we can tell you, you can decide the exact exam time, you can take it whenever you like. Why? We should firstly talk about the structure of IT certification exam. Cisco authentication is definitely qualification authentication required by Cisco company to its technician people, but the exam is not held by the company itself. It entrusts the exams to professional companies whose service is examination, such as Sylvan, VUE, etc. These companies have examination centers in over 100 countries of the world which are connected with each other by the internet. The everyday’s results of examinations could be transferred to the databases of the examination companies it entrusts. Since the entrusting cost is very low for IT enterprises, almost all the kinds of IT certification are entrusted to Sylvan and VUE, who are also agents for some examinations you are familiar with such as GRE, TOEFL and so on.

Exam could be taken any time because in theory the centres have exams everyday. 640-802 exam process something like this, first you go to test center to register and make an appointment time. On the exam day, the examination center will download examination questions of all the candidates that day including you, you just choose your share and the conduct the exam. But some exam centres would select two days in one week for exams because some place there’re few participants therefore they need to get enough people.Under this situation,you have to ask the exam centre for exact time .

2. Training If we want to attend the test, we must receive training, which is cared by many friends. We can tell you clearly that there’s no relationship between the training and the 640-802 examination. As what we mentioned above, t Sylvan Test Center is a company specializing examination agency within the international framework, while the training center is the training institution authorized and granted by the related IT certification companies.

Since the two institutions both take the form of joining in by application, many training centers also applied to be the examination center at the same time for convenience. You may think you don’t have good foundation and should go to a training class. But you have to remember that the present IT certification training classes are stuffing teaching， which can’t in a few days turn a novice into a veteran.
