The Value of Citrix Education
IDC predicts the mobile and remote worker population (defined as employees spending more than 20 percent of their time away from the office) will continue to grow.
Businesses and workers are becoming more flexible, yet it will take time to sort out challenges such as adoption of applications and infrastructure software solutions for wireless devices, mobile connectivity and other problems.

Citrix certifications prepare IT professionals to support their organizations’ ability to change on demand, without changing the overall environment.

Citrix Education offers customers and partners certifications that validate real-world Citrix product knowledge and expertise.

These certifications are supported by a robust curriculum that includes instructor-led and e‑learning courses, or a combination of both.

In addition to the CCA cer-tifications, two advanced certifications are also available for those professionals who want to continue their certification path: the Citrix Certified Enterprise Administrator (CCEA), which focuses on administration, building, testing, rollout and support of multiple Citrix products, and the Citrix Certified Integration Architect (CCIA), which focuses on best practices recommended by Citrix for analysis, design and building/testing of Citrix technologies.
