Course Overview
CCNA Certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is an information technology (IT) certification from Cisco Systems, which is Cisco’s most well-known certification. CCNA certification programmes deal with the ability to install, design, operate, and trouble route and switched systems. CCNA certification is an associate-level Cisco Career certification. The Cisco exams have changed several times in response to the changing IT trends. On Feb 24, 2020, Cisco announced an update to its certification program that “aligns certification and training curricula with evolving industry job roles. There are now several different types of Cisco-certified Network Associate, with “CCNA Routing and Switching” being closest to the original CCNA focus; other types of CCNA focus on security, cloud, collaboration, security operations, design, data center technologies, industrial plants, service providers, and wireless all combined as the single exam.
The content of the exams is proprietary. Cisco and its learning partners offer a variety of different training methods, including books published by Cisco Press, and online and classroom courses available under the title “Implementing and Administering Cisco Networking Technologies”. To achieve CCNA, one must earn a passing score on Cisco exam #200-301 exams. After the exam, candidates receive a score report along with a score breakout by exam section and the passing score for the given exam.
CCNA Exam #200-301 is the composite exam associated with the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification. This exam tests a candidate’s knowledge and skills required to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-size enterprise branch network. The topics include connecting to a WAN; implementing network security; network types; network media; routing and switching fundamentals; the TCP/IP and OSI models; IP addressing; WAN technologies; operating and configuring IOS devices; extending switched networks with VLANs; determining IP routes; managing IP traffic with access lists, and establishing point-to-point connections. CCNA exam covers a broad range of fundamentals you need for any direction you want to go: network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, and automation and programmability.
CCNA CERTIFICATION
Candidate would earn the certificate of CISCO Certification (200-301). Every candidate has it’s own unique certification number which is globally accredited.
- Employers give priority to CCNA qualified experts in comparison to unqualified networking professionals. This is an upper hand for you if you are a CCNA qualified networking professional.
