Eight students from MSEUF-College of Computing and Multimedia Studies proved their skills and talents as they escaped through the certification exam being Huawei Certified ICT Associates in Artificial Intelligence and Routing & Switching. Kristine Kaye Bala, Angelica Denise Abadicio, Alexel Imperial, Maria Eloisa Santiago, Ma. Geca Marasigan, Kyle Anthony Niosco, and Sean Andrei Marasigan of BSCS are certified as Huawei ICT Associates in Artificial Intelligence while Jhan Derille Unlayao of BSIT passed as an associate in Routing and Switching.
The examinations were held through the Huawei Talent online platform last December 23 for HCIA-AI and on December 3 for HCIA-Routing and Switching with proctors monitoring the examination. Huawei Certified ICT Associates (HCIA) is the first level of certification among the three certifications offered by Huawei, the other two levels of certification are Huawei Certified ICT Professional (HCIP) and Huawei Certified ICT Expert (HCIE) respectively.
It certifies a person to be an associate of Huawei. HCIA-AI aims to develop AI professionals, teachers, and students with basic AI knowledge and the ability to use open-source AI frameworks to develop and innovate applications. On the other hand, HCIA-R& is a training and certification that verifies if a network engineer has met its requirements when it comes to capability and knowledge in routing & switching.
The certification can be used as an advantage in applying for a company that recognizes it which proves that the holder has capabilities and knowledge in the field relative to the skills certified. “I can use this certification to add to my resume when I apply for jobs related to the skills and knowledge that I was certified with, especially when applying for employment in Huawei or any companies associated with Huawei or recognizes the Huawei certification,” Unlayao said.
Unlayao added that he felt glad, relieved, and victorious when he found out that he passed the certification examination. “I felt glad and relieved at the same time knowing that the effort and time that I had invested in preparation for the examination did not come to waste. I also felt victorious knowing that passing the examination is a great achievement since it is an examination that could potentially impact my career in the future if I find myself pursuing a career related to networking,” he responded.
