A Certified Novell Engineer (CNE) certification is a certification for those who install, maintain and support Netware systems and other server or hardware infrastructure from the Novell company, a leader in networking systems. The CNE certification tests proficiency in aspects of working with local area networks (LANs) and other networking setups.

A Certified Novell Engineer may also be called a Certified NetWare Engineer, although the name has been changed to reflect the fact that the Novell line and certification do not focus exclusively on the NetWare product.
