Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

Course Description | Outline | IT Home

Overview

The widely respected Cisco Career Certifications bring valuable, measurable rewards to network professionals, their managers, and the organizations that employ them. Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA®) is one of the most valued certifications in the IT industry. Anyone seeking to pursue or advance their career as a network technician, network administrator, or information security specialist will benefit from the range of theoretical and practical skills covered by the CCNA certification course of study.

CCNA validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN. CCNA also covers basic mitigation of security threats and an introduction to wireless networking. CCNA certification is a prerequisite for Cisco's more advanced certifications such the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification.

Students will have access to real Cisco equipment in our labs. There is no substitute for hands-on experience with real Cisco hardware.

Certification

You can obtain your CCNA certification by taking one of two paths:

• One test: You can just take test 640-802 — a single test that covers all of the CCNA topics. This is a good option for more experienced students who are confident with the full range of CCNA topics.
• Two tests: You can take (separately) the shorter tests 640-822 and 640-816. By passing test 640-822, you would earn the CCENT. Then by passing test 640-816, you would have both your CCENT and your CCNA certifications. CCENT is a stepping stone to the CCNA certification. It covers topics that you would expect an entry-level technician to know, including the OSI model, DNS basics, NAT, routing, and router configuration.
