Cisco Certification = Extra Points?
Like the topic says really
Could any of you experts educate me a little please? Just wondering if Cisco certifications count as 'trade certifications' to add on to the x amount of years of full time education and give extra points?

Nope - such industry certifications are not educational credentials and are worthless from the immigration criteria perspective. No points, sorry.

From a Canadian immigration point of view Andrew is correct. In Australia they may have some value, depending on circumstances. At least for now. Not Cisco, however, as it's never been accredited by the Australian Computer Society.
