Certification-First Skilling · Certiport Authorized PartnerNetwork Security Support Technician.
Cisco's entry on-ramp into building and defending networks. Two globally recognized CCST credentials in one certification pathway.
Training for both certifications is included with your bundle. Learn at your own pace, mapped to the official exam objectives, then certify when you're ready.
Build the network. Then defend it.
Support roles increasingly expect both: someone who can get devices connected and keep the network running, and who knows the first-line security practices that stop small problems becoming breaches.
This Cisco My Pathway stacks the two Cisco Certified Support Technician credentials that prove exactly that, in any order you like.
Build it
CCST Networking: addressing, infrastructure, connectivity and diagnostics.
Defend it
CCST Cybersecurity: threats, access controls, endpoint protection and incident basics.
Two credentials, one career on-ramp.
This pathway mirrors the official Cisco My Pathway structure. Training for both is included with your bundle, and exams can be taken in any order.
CCST Networking
Build the network: the foundations of how data moves, from addressing and infrastructure to connectivity and diagnostics.
CCST Cybersecurity
Defend the network: the first-line security skills employers screen for, from threats and controls to incident basics.
Five problems graduates face, and how proof of skill fixes them.
Employers can't see your skills until something breaks. A certification pathway gives them proof before they hire you.
“Good with computers” isn't a job title
IT applicants all claim the same skills.
Interns kept off the network
Nobody lets an untested trainee touch live systems.
Hard to win clients on your word alone
Small businesses hesitate to trust an unknown technician with their network.
Fixing symptoms, not causes
Guesswork troubleshooting leaves security gaps open.
Local skills, invisible abroad
Remote employers need a standard they recognize.
Two ways to learn. One proof of skill.
