CCNA Voice certification validates a network professional’s skills required to perform baseline installation, operation and maintenance of Cisco VoIP solutions. The CCNA Voice curriculum includes VoIP technologies such as Internet Protocol PBX, IP telephony, handset, call control and voicemail solutions.

Candidates also have access to the Cisco Unified Communications architecture and design covering mobility, presence and Cisco TelePresenceTM applications.
