Master CIW Administrator

The Certified Internet Webmaster’s Master CIW Administrator is a mid to high level, vendor-neutral, certification for an IT professional who “identifies and defines network architecture, administers corporate infrastructure and servers, monitors and analyzes network performance, and implements and manages network security.â€‌ The Master CIW Administrator builds on the CIW Associate designation. As well, while achieving the Master CIW Administrator certification, the candidate will achieve CIW Professional certifications along the way.

The Master CIW Administrator certification emerged in the fall of 2000. In terms of recertification, “CIW exams may be retired for various reasons, including release of a new exam series, changes to related certification programs, or determination by the IT industry that a job role has become obsolete. Once retired, the exam is no longer available at testing centers, although in some cases candidates can still apply credit for a retired exam version toward a multi-exam certification. CIW offers six months' prior notice for retirement of any exam so that interested candidates have time to prepare and take the exam while it is still available.â€‌

Job roles of those pursuing this certification typically include: systems administrator, online services manager, online community manager, Internet or intranet network engineer, or IT department associate or manager.

To achieve the Master CIW Administrator, a candidate must pass four exams.
