They work very hard, are extremely dedicated, and make little money teaching. Their reward is the students progressing, learning, and becoming all they can be. I salute you. Acknowledgments Creating the Acknowledgments is the most difficult part of the book- writing process. Without the help and support of many different individuals, this book, or any other book for that matter, would never be written. So, how can someone actually take a few paragraphs and thank and acknowl- edge everyone involved? I will give it a try anyway. The person I want to thank and acknowledge first is Linda Lee. She is an incredible developmental editor and really helped me develop this book’s outline. I am very happy that she was involved in the process. She worked hard on this book, and the reader now gets to reap the rewards of her labor. Neil Edde is always a shoo-in for appearing in the acknowledgments of all my books. Without Neil, I would not have written the first CCNA book, or even my first Sybex book. He was my first developmental editor, and Linda needs to thank him for working out most of my kinks before he pushed me over to her. Susan Berge and Lisa Duran did a great job of keeping up with the sched- ule and worked very hard with me to get this book shipped on time. For that, I thank them. Kudos to Patrick Ramseier and Eric Gunnett, who did a fab- ulous job of reviewing each chapter for technical accuracy.

  • International Qualifications 4116 EN – TI-31-12-754-EN-C
    EN EN international qualifications 4116 EN An increasing number of qualifications – certificates and diplomas – are awarded at international level, outside the – TI-31-12-754-EN-C jurisdiction of national authorities. These ‘non-State’ qualifications have been developed and are awarded by a wide range of bodies, organisations and companies addressing various purposes. What unites this extreme variety of qualifications is that they are not restricted to a particular national system or territory. They are all qualifications whose exchange value is defined outside traditional national qualifications systems. This raises some key questions and challenges for policy-makers as well as users – be they individual citizens or employers. This report is a first effort to increase transparency in this field, notably by pointing to existing sources and clarifying the concepts to be used for mapping and analysis.
