Cisco Certified Network Associate Certificate

The new CCNA curriculum, CCNA Routing and Switching (CCNA R&S), is designed to prepare students for entry-level careers in Information and Communications Technology (ICT), and for the globally recognized Cisco certification examinations, CCENT and CCNA. The curriculum also helps students develop workforce readiness skills and builds a foundation for success in networking-related careers and degree programs. CCNA Routing and Switching includes four courses that make up the recommended course flow. Students will be prepared to take the Cisco CCENT exam after completing the first two courses or they can do the CCNA exam after completing the set of four courses. In each course, students will learn technology concepts with the support of interactive media and apply and practice this knowledge through a series of hands-on and simulated activities. Cisco Packet Tracer allows students to model and analyze routing processes that may be difficult to visualize or understand, and to practice their skills within simulated networks. Quizzes, skills assessments, chapter exams, and practice exams provide additional feedback as students advance through the curriculum.
