Has anyone ever landed the cisco cyber ops scholarship ( https://mkto.cisco.com/security-scholarship ) ? Is the certification worthwhile and marketable? TIA
Nope.

Sijui Cisco ni nini lakini all IT degrees are not marketable
Degrees and certifications are different things.
Just because because beshte wako alikosa kazi does not mean wengine walikosa
Shh. Let the fool be
Earning the scholarship is easy if you have basic knowledge of networking and information security. I believe I passed the entrance exam with the mother of all hangovers and from my experience its a basic entry level course suited for graduates and junior network engineers.
Cisco certificates are recognised globally and it is a good thing to have on your cv. On the other hand every IT person in Nairobi has a CCNA so papers and actual ability do differ.
If you can get the scholarship then go for it but I wouldn’t advise anyone to spend actual money on this certificate.
