Certified Novell Engineer
|
Certified Novell Engineer (CNE) is a certification which is designed to show that an individual possesses in-depth knowledge and skills related to administration and troubleshooting of the Novell NetWare operating system.
Purpose
Specifically, the CNE training program is intended to train a system administrator on how to use management tools, perform server installations, manage the eDirectory, printing, allocate storage space, email and instant messaging services, and managing security.
Name
CNE originally stood for Certified Netware Engineer. When Unixware entered Novell's product range around 1993, it became Certified Novell Engineer.
Requirements
In contrast to a Certified Novell Administrator (CNA), a CNE must pass a series of tests to prove their readiness for the certification. A CNA must pass only a single test.
The Novell CNE training provides knowledge and skills implementing a sometimes wide variety of Novell (NetWare) products.
Recognition
Although considered a good starting point in the IT industry, despite some changes in the overall use of the software,[1] the CNE Certificate is sometimes criticized as not providing recipients with any hands on experience.[2]
Advancement
Novell also has advancements of this certification including:
- MCNE - Master Certified Novell Engineer - additional exam topics.
- CNI - Certified Novell Instructor - requiring higher exam point to pass, together with assessed presentation skills.
In addition, a certain amount of continuing education is required in order for certificate holders to maintain their skills and certification.[2]
