MY STORY
Meet Arun: The Global Cisco Maestro
Greetings! I'm Arun, a seasoned professional with a passion for Cisco technologies and a commitment to knowledge that spans more than two decades.
From Curiosity to Career: A Journey Unveiled
Back in the golden days of my childhood, the spark of curiosity was ignited by gadgets like music players and TV sets. Unbeknownst to my fellow housemates, my attempts at understanding these devices often involved a screwdriver and some "surgical action." It wasn't always well-received, but that inquisitive spirit paved the way for my journey into the vibrant world of Cisco.
Becoming the Cisco Trainer
As a network administrator in various companies, my expertise grew, and one day, a pivotal moment occurred. Colleagues approached me to share my knowledge on topics like the spanning tree protocol. That transformative day marked the beginning of my journey as a Cisco Trainer.
Certifications that Define Expertise
My dedication to mastering the intricacies of networking is reflected in a series of certifications:
-
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
-
Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)
-
Cisco Certified Network Expert (CCIE R&S)
-
Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert Service Provider (CCIE SP)
-
Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP)
-

-
Cisco IOS Specialist
But my commitment doesn't stop there. I've also earned the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) credential, rounding out my skills in the ever-evolving world of IT.
Global Ventures and Training Passion
My career has taken me to diverse corners of the globe, from Dubai to Thailand, Vietnam to Laos PDR. Engaging in IT projects across borders has been a fulfilling experience. Teaching, however, remains my true passion. Holding a marker and standing in front of students for the past 22 years, I've come to realize that I am made for this noble profession.
Empowering Minds Globally: 25,000 Strong
I take immense pride in having trained over 25,000 students worldwide. From America to Australia, England to Africa, Canada to Italy, Bangladesh to India, Dubai to Muscat, and beyond — the list is a testament to the global impact of Cisco education.
