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
