CCNP, the highest paid Cisco® Certification
Salaries for the Cisco® certifications held by respondents to this year’s survey decreased from 2009, but they were still higher than the average salaries for Cisco®-certified folks in 2008. The average salary of $93,953 for a Cisco® Certified Design Associate was the sixth highest salary listed in this year’s survey, and is still a 25% increase from a CCDA’s average salary of $75,000 in 2008.
The second highest Cisco® certification salary in this year’s survey ($89,864) was for the Cisco® Certified Network Professional designation. Cisco® this month announced a major overhaul of this certification by replacing the required exams with those that better reflect a network professional’s job tasks. After July 31, candidates are required to take exams that cover implementing Cisco® IP routing, implementing Cisco® switched networks, and troubleshooting and maintaining Cisco® IP networks.
