I was the youngest ITE instructor in Sri Lanka at that time and in 2011 I got the opportunity to become the youngest CCAI for CCNA in Sri Lanka. In December 2008, I became a Cisco Networking Academy Instructor for IT Essentials.
At that time, there was only one Cisco Networking Academy in Sri Lanka, therefore, I chose to self-study to prepare for the CCNA 640-802 exam (old version) in 2008. It was 2007 and I was 22 years old with nothing in hand to start a career. Most of them are now working in enterprise level organizations. I got the privilege to train more than 1,000 students in the past 9 years.
