Voice certifications and training: What do you need?
Shamus McGillicuddy, News Editor

As IP telephony and unified communications proliferate through enterprises, the opportunities for specialized certifications and training will grow. As IT workers explore these opportunities, they should determine which ones will serve their companies best and which ones can boost their own careers.

Cushing Anderson, IDC's program vice president for human resources and learning, said the market for voice certifications is not very large at the moment, but it has the potential to grow. Aside from Cisco and Avaya offerings, there aren't that many voice certifications available. The most prominent certifications are Cisco's CCNA Voice and CCIE Voice.

But it's in the interest of vendors to develop these certifications so that their products are managed and deployed properly by customers and channel partners. More voice certifications will come onto the market, and the demand will be there. Beyond voice, Anderson said, companies could eventually start launching certifications specifically for unified communications as well.
