Novell Reaches Certification Milestone with Ten-year Anniversary of the World's Most Recognized Networking Certification -- the Certified Novell Engineer (CNE) State Governments, Education Partners Join "Certification Month" Celebration Who: Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVL) is the world's leading network software provider and the industry pioneer and leader in training/certifying people to work in information technology.
What& When: 1999 marks a certification milestone for Novell, Inc., as the company celebrates a decade of success with the tenth anniversary of the CNE program, which pioneered the network training and certification industry. In recognition of this accomplishment, state governments and education partners are joining Novell, and the more than 150,000 current CNEs worldwide, to celebrate the event. To mark this significant anniversary, Novell has dedicated their fifth-annual "Certification Month" in March to highlight the accomplishments, opportunities and competitive advantage gained with earning Novell certifications, and more specifically the Certified Novell Engineer (CNE) credential.
Why& How: Last year, 17 state governors joined with Novell in declaring March as "Certification Month" in their respective states and plan to show their support for Novell's certification milestone by doing the same this year. Other events include the North American BrainShare '99 technical conference, which is celebrating its fifteenth year. It will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah, March 21-26, and the Florida Educators Technical Conference in Orlando, Florida, March 18- 20 will also feature Certification Month activities for Novell-certified individuals and for high schools, colleges and universities participating in Novell Education's Academic Partner (NEAP) Program. Novell Authorized Education Centers (NAECs) will also join the festivities by hosting free certification night seminars that will explain the fundamental technical skills needed to be successful in today's high- tech marketplace and will illustrate the benefits of obtaining a Novell certification, as well as the process for becoming certified. Additionally, Novell partners will be joining in the celebration through various promotions and activities. Currently, nearly one million Novell certifications have been granted or are in progress worldwide. Much like a certified accountant's proficiency is recognized by the "C.P.A." designation, Novell certified professionals are recognized with Certified Novell Administrator (CNA), Certified Novell Engineer (CNE), Master CNE, Certified Novell Instructor (CNI) and the Certified Internet Professional. These certifications are global standards for organizations recruiting, compensating and promoting employees to support IT investments.
