Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA 200-301) Course

Course Overview:

The CCNA certification validates essential networking skills, making professionals for roles like Network Administrator or Engineer. It enhances career opportunities, increases salary potential, and is often a prerequisite for advanced Cisco certifications and high-demand IT jobs.

The CCNA course contains three parts as follows:

1. CCNA: Introduction to Networks (ITN):
   • The first part introduces architecture, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications and data through the Internet and across modern computer networks – including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals.
2. CCNA: Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials (SRWE)
   • The second part focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks. It also covers wireless local area networks (WLAN) and essential security concepts.
3. CCNA: Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA)
   • The final part covers the architecture, security, and operation of enterprise network, while introducing modern approaches to network management including programmable infrastructure.

Learning Outcomes:

•  Develop skills required for entry-level networking jobs
