Overview
Cisco Certified Network Associate
(We are teaching the new Cisco certified Network Associate (CCNA) curriculum related to CCNA exam 200-301)
Cisco certified Network Associate (CCNA) is a very popular and highly demanded computer industry certification courses in Information Technology.
This more advanced certification course provides a comprehensive introduction to deploying Cisco routers and switches in computer networks. Cisco devices are the industry standard devices that are used to connect computers in local area networks and the internet. Through extensive hands-on exercises, students gain the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to install, configure and troubleshoot Cisco routers and switches. CCNA certified professionals are in great demand in the computer industry today.
