The Cisco CCNA Online Training Program will give you the essential knowledge to install, configure, and operate a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security. You’ll learn about routed and switched LAN Emulation networks made up of Cisco equipment while you prepare for Cisco certification. The program provides focused coverage of Cisco router and switch configuration procedures. Upon completion of this program students will be prepared to take CCNA 200-301. Passing students will receive a voucher to take the exam.

Prerequisite: To enroll, we recommend that you have 1-3 years of experience working in a network environment.  Individuals without this experience are advised to consider first completing a course like CompTIA A+ and/or CompTIA Network+.
