What Should I Know Before Attending?

Prior to attending the CCNA course, you should be familiar with networking topics such as TCP/IP, IP configuration, peer-to-peer networking, subnetting, building a routing table, and other network protocols, standards, and architecture. The CCNA candidate must possess a thorough understanding of network fundamentals including OSI model, TCP/IP Protocol, and basic Cisco hardware familiarity. We recommend that students have the Network + or CCENT certifications, or have equivalent knowledge. If you are not sure you are meeting the requirements, please call to discuss the prerequisites with your training advisor and request a CCENT/CCNA Skills Assessment Exam.

Cisco Certifications Overview
