Secure your IT Career Today with
Cisco’s CCNA Certification!
The Cisco CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) certification validates the skills required for entry-level network support positions. Candidates will learn the skills to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security. Cisco CCENT certification is the first step toward achieving Cisco CCNA™, which covers medium size enterprise branch networks with more complex connections.
The Cisco CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size route and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN. Cisco CCNA training includes basic mitigation of security threats, introduction to wireless networking concepts and terminology, and performance-based skills. This Cisco CCNA training also includes (but is not limited to) the use of these protocols: IP, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Serial Line Interface Protocol Frame Relay, Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2),VLANs, Ethernet, access control lists (ACLs).
In order to achieve the Cisco CCNA certification, you may take either the one-test path(640-802), or the two-test path(640-822 and 640-816).
