Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Training
This looks like just another CCNA course. But hidden inside is a complete transformation system that teaches you to think like a network architect, not just a configuration technician. You’ll learn to integrate AI, automation, and cloud technologies into network operations. Plus, you’ll master security fundamentals across IP addressing, routing, wireless LANs, and switching, all using Cisco’s industry-leading best practices.
Which means instead of just passing an exam, you’ll develop the strategic thinking across network fundamentals that makes you indispensable. This 5-day intensive program doesn’t just prepare you for the globally recognized certification that consistently tops IT lists; it prepares you for career advancement by teaching you to install, configure, and troubleshoot modern networks like a true professional.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to configure, monitor, and secure Cisco-based networks and be well-prepared for the Cisco 200-301 CCNA certification exam.
You will learn to:
- Understand Core Networking Concepts: Identify network components, explain host-to-host communication, and describe the functions of Cisco IOS, LANs, switches, TCP/IP layers, IPv4, and IPv6.
- Configure and Troubleshoot Network Devices: Install and set up Cisco routers and switches, configure VLANs, static routing, inter-VLAN routing, and troubleshoot common network and addressing issues.
- Explore Advanced Networking Technologies: Understand dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, spanning tree protocols, Layer 3 redundancy, EtherChannel, WAN/VPN fundamentals, and wireless LAN controllers.
- Implement Network Security and Access Control: Apply basic security configurations, configure ACLs, NAT, and DHCP, and explore device hardening and management practices to protect network infrastructure.
- Gain Exposure to Modern Networking Trends: Learn the basics of QoS, software-defined networking, network programmability, virtualization, and the roles of AI and machine learning in modern network operations.
- Explain how spanning tree protocol (STP) and rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) work.
This training is ideal for:
- Entry-level Network Engineers and Administrators
- IT Support Technicians and Help Desk staff
- Systems Administrators transitioning into networking
- Aspiring Cisco Certified professionals
It’s also recommended for those who need foundational networking skills to support Cisco infrastructure, even if certification isn’t their goal.
