Would university degree in IT Engineer would considered as equivalent to CCNP?Our engineer has graduated in computer engineering where he studied modules related to networking, so was wondering if that would be equivalent to CCNA as nice to have skills for this role?Further to our question about CCNP - we have engineer graduated from the University of Greenwich in computer science and has studied cisco classes as part of his education in the university. would you consider his university degree as equivalent to CCNP?
