Understanding the CCNA Certification

The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification is globally recognized and highly valued in the IT industry. Cisco certifications are structured into three levels: Associate, Professional, and Expert. CCNA serves as the entry-level certification, validating your ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot networks.

To earn your CCNA certification, you need to pass the Cisco exam #200-120 or a combination of ICND1 (#100-101) and ICND2 (#200-101) exams. The ICND1 exam grants the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) certification. Exam scores are determined through statistical analysis and may change periodically. Candidates receive a score report upon completion of the exam.

Exam and Training Approach

The CCNA certification exam evaluates your ability to set up and troubleshoot enterprise network environments. To enhance learning, we use Cisco-recommended lab equipment and simulation tools like GNS3 and Cisco Packet Tracer. The practical training is conducted on actual Cisco devices to ensure real-world readiness.
