MSOE Certificate Programs
Novell Certificate Program

Overview

MSOE's Rader School of Business is a Novell Education Academic Partner (NEAP) and offers Novell-Authorized education courses. The courses are available for credit as technical electives in the management program. Students not pursuing a degree at MSOE may participate in the courses as part of our networking certificate program.

Benefits: You will be prepared...

For certification as a Novell Certified NetWare Administrator (CNA) and a Novell Certified NetWare Engineer (CNE).
To enter the work force with skills necessary to begin a network support and management career

Some MSOE NEAP courses are comprised of multiple Novell Classes. Certification exams can be arranged and paid for by the student through VUE Testing Service.

Possessing either of these certifications is beneficial in opening many doors to employment and having the skills necessary to perform those jobs when hired. As the workplace environment changes, Novell continually updates its certification programs. At MSOE, we are committed to updating our course curriculum on a continual basis to meet these changing requirements.
