Digital Marketing Institute CDMP
A couple of years ago, obtaining a CDMP certification became a mandatory requirement for all lecturers in the Digital Marketing Institute’s program at DCI, where I have been a lecturer for a considerable time (10+ years). This requirement provided a valuable opportunity for me to thoroughly review entire course materials, including modules outside of my usual teaching responsibilities. And to witness first hand what students experience on a test day.

Cisco CCNA
I’m thrilled to have found a record of this certificate. Although it expired in 2009 and isn’t directly relevant to my current field of interest, I am grateful to Cisco and this program for shaping my approach to learning and troubleshooting everyday problems.
