Verify your education path with the facts in front of you.
Eligible students may be able to use approved U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefits for qualifying CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure and CCIE Security training. Individual eligibility, benefit availability, and current program status must be confirmed before enrollment.
If you already hold an active security clearance, combining it with advanced networking skills can open doors to specialized federal, defense, and mission-critical infrastructure roles.
Recent publicly advertised positions have included compensation above $200,000 per year for candidates combining advanced Cisco/networking expertise with active Top Secret or TS/SCI eligibility.
Your clearance is difficult to obtain and valuable to many employers. Build the technical skills to make full use of it.
