Technology certifications

Elevate your contribution at work. Stand apart from the competition. Enhance your technology skills.

Ciena's suite of Technology Certifications provides expertise for all levels of network professionals—from beginners to seasoned experts. Certifications are carefully designed to address selected technologies through a unique focus on the development of practical knowledge and skills related to the technology, not a vendor or product, allowing each student the pursuit of the certification level that matches their specific objectives—whatever network environment they work within.

Each curriculum has been carefully developed and tested to provide value to a range of professionals, from those who need a basic understanding of the technology and its applications, need to conduct network business cases, and those responsible for ultimately architecting network solutions.

Carrier Ethernet Certifications

As a pioneer in this technology, Ciena is the logical authority to offer a program that provides cutting-edge, industry-standard knowledge and skills to all levels of network professionals—from beginners to seasoned pros.

To help you pursue the certification level that matches your specific objectives, we offer a four-tiered approach. Each tier builds on the knowledge gained in the previous tier.

Ciena's Optical Communications Certification Program is technology-specific, not vendor-specific. To help you pursue the certification level that matches your specific objectives, we offer a four-tiered approach. Each certification tier is a full five days packed with all you need to truly master the technology.
