I attended the University of Alicante (UA) where I completed a Bachelor in Telecommunications Engineering from 2013-2017 and a Master of Science in Engineering. I became aware of the JNCAA program from other students who attended the on campus bootcamp event organized by Juniper in November 2016.

The JNCAA program has had a positive impact allowing me to increase my networking knowledge and stay up to date on the latest industry news. When interviewing for jobs, it provided me with useful knowledge for more technical discussions through the selection process. I would definitely recommend joining this program as it is a great opportunity to develop your career and find a place in a growing industry.

Testimonials / Events

I attended the University of Alicante (UA) and graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor in Telecommunications Engineering. In my last year, I took a one-year networking course where I studied and certified in JNCIA-Junos and JNCIS-SP. I became aware of the JNCAA program from my professor who introduced me to the networking world and after some research, I decided to pursue the Service Provider certification track.

The JNCAA program allowed me to discover that I wanted to be a network engineer and dive into the world of technology. I was able to learn, travel, and meet amazing people from around the globe during my time participating in the program. The Juniper certifications helped me seek the job that I wanted and made a huge difference in differentiating myself. I gained confidence, troubleshooting skills, and learning the best way to approach problems successfully as a I navigate through my role at Juniper.

I recently went through this amazing course JNCAA-JUNOS as a part of my preparation for JNCIA-JUNOS certification. This course is designed so beautifully as it walked me through the core fundamentals of Juniper offerings and Juniper’s Junos OS in a way that every dot seemed connected.
