Course Description
The CCNA (Cisco certified network associate) is meant for all those looking to get a foothold in Networking. This forms the base of the Cisco training pyramid and offers different specializations for network engineers. The basic CCNA course is CCNA – Routing, and Switching. We also offer the CCNA Security and the CCNA Voice both of which require the CCNA Routing and Switching as a prerequisite. The CCNA course is taught by world-class instructors in the state of the art classrooms with labs equipped with cutting edge infrastructure, including high-end routers, switches, and servers. The course is taught in a hands-on manner so that students can get an actual feel of the nitty-gritty of networking.
Program Objectives
- Identification of Network Fundamentals
