Certified IT professionals, who can cost-effectively deliver converged voice and data platforms, contribute to smoother deployments and save their companies significant IT costs and deployment time. Earning certification validates your skills, knowledge and mastery of technical products. In addition, certified professionals typically deliver higher levels of service and technical expertise than non-certified individuals. Because of this, certified individuals typically earn higher salaries, according to the 2006 Annual Certification Salary Survey conducted by Certification Magazine. For example, professionals holding certification in network design can earn an average annual salary of $89,770, the second highest in the industry.

Many of those who have earned Nortel certifications have done so through self-study, mainly because of the cuts in IT training budgets in recent years.  With that in mind, TestKing has developed high quality and affordable study materials that will help you pass your certification exams quickly and easily, the first time.
