in my opinion no go for cisco instead. But if you are going to be installing systems then you will need the certs.

ACA is very easy and requires ony basic knowledge. But if you are going to reach next certification level, ACS, you will need valid ACA certification to do it.

As mentioned before, in order to get the higher levels of "Avaya Certs and product author." you have to have a valid ACA.

There are two ways to get your ACA Core taken care of. 1) Take the avaya exam. 2) take the CTP exam.

Both Mitel and Avaya accept CTP as their core, so I would go that route.

OK guys thanks for the info, I've found the intro manuels really useful. Can anyone list some of the more recent Avaya systems / pbx's just so I have an idea about the kit. Thanks
