":I agree with  that listing the certification should be listed by its full name, not an acronym. Wikipedia guidelines dictate that acronyms should be avoided ""unless the subject is almost exclusively known by its abbreviation (e.g. NATO and Laser)."" While the certification is often referred to as ""CCNA"" without any clarification, it is not ""almost exclusively"" referred to this way. It's interesting that Cisco's own web sites are inconsistent in treating ""CCNA"" as the primary name versus ""Cisco Certified Network Associate."" This page says ""CCNA® (Cisco Certified Network Associate)"" while this one says ""Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)"". Note that CCNA is a registered trademark though. -
