Information About

Certified Novell Engineer




A CNE (or '''Certified Netware Engineer''') is a certification which is designed to certify that an individual possesses in-depth knowledge and skills related to administration and troubleshooting of the Novell Netware Operating System .


REQUIREMENTS


In contrast to a CNA (or Certified Netware Administrator), a CNE must pass a series of tests to prove their readiness for the certification. A CNA must pass a single test.

The Novell CNE training provides knowledge and skills implementing a sometimes wide variety of Novell (NetWare) products.


RECOGNITION


While many in the industry have cynically compared the CNE cert to Microsoft's MCSE, the CNE testing & training differs in that they are decidedly more difficult and "Hands-on", akin to Red Hat's RHCE and Cisco's CCIE (albeit, as some people say, distantly).


PURPOSE


Specifically, the CNE training program is intended to train a System Administrator on how to use management tools, perform server installations, manage the NDS e-Directory, printing, allocate storage space, email & instant messaging services, and managing security.


HISTORICAL NOTE

Originally CNE stood for Certified Netware Engineer then subsequently (when Unixware entered Novell 's product range around 1993) it became Certified Novell Engineer .
