CCNA ROUTING AND SWITCHING

The course is the first step in Cisco’s professional certification system and begins with introduction and theory, and then goes to practice. Students learn how to install and configure routers and switches on local and larger networks, detect and troubleshoot problems, optimize networks, and take care of security and protection from attacks.

What does the course include?

CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) training includes four modules  covered in a 6 to 9 month period of 280 hours.

What does the course offer you?

The CCNA Routing and Switching Curriculum provides excellent initial experience and knowledge of your IT career.

  • You will get working knowledge of routing, switching, networking, protocols and services;

  • Training from Cisco-certified instructors to help you learn knowledge quickly and easily;

  • Cisco Packet Tracer – a network configuration simulation tool that enables you to practice your new skills in a real environment;

  • Tests at the end of each lesson to practice your new knowledge, as well as an instructor’s reference to what to emphasize;

  • Collaborative projects and presentations that prepare you to start your first job as an IT specialist;

  • You will have access to the Cisco Network Community to connect with thousands of other people who are trained on your program;

Course content

The first 2 courses prepare you for the certification exam Cisco CCENT or to continue training on CCNA Security. All four modules are recommended to be studied before taking CCNA Routing and Switching exam at the end of the course.

After the end of the last module, the students are tested on the whole material and if they are successful, they are prepared to take the exam for the international certificate – Cisco CCENT. Anyone who has passed this preliminary test with a success rate of over 75% will receive a discount for the certification exam.
