CCNA certification is a first-level Cisco Career certification and indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking. CCNA certification validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN.

Cisco has retired their INTRO and ICND courses, replacing them with more robust offerings ICND1 and ICND2, respectively. This new CCNA training curriculum includes basic mitigation of security threats, introduction to wireless networking concepts and terminology, and performance-based skills. The CCNA training curriculum also includes, but is not limited to, the use of IP, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Serial Line Interface Protocol Frame Relay, Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2),VLANs, Ethernet, and access control lists (ACLs).

Our CCNA training courses include enhanced content that exceeds standard authorized Cisco content, expanded lab equipment, and an unrivaled guarantee for CCNA certification success. Our three-step blended learning approach to the CCNA Boot Camp includes a readiness assessment, self-paced e-learning materials, and post-class lab access to maximize your CCNA training experience and ensure that you get comprehensive coverage of the CCNA training materials.

According to Cisco, "CCNP certification validates a network professional's ability to install, configure and troubleshoot converged local and wide area networks with 100 to 500 or more nodes. Network Professionals who achieve the CCNP have demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless, and security into the network."

Overview of the courses:

BSCI - Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks v3.0
Develop an advanced set of skills to help you optimize the configuration and deployment of a Cisco router-based internetwork. Learn the complex concepts and commands necessary to configure Cisco routers for scalable operation in large and/or growing internetworks. Whether your goal is to take your Cisco routing skills to the next level or to achieve CCNP or CCIP certification, this is the right course for you.

BCMSN - Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks v3.0
Implement campus networks using multilayer switching technologies over high-speed Ethernet and wireless topologies. This course addresses the integration of routing and switching technologies to create an efficient campus network. Design, build, and configure a reliable campus network so that if any physical link, switch, or router fails, an end user won't know, while maintaining the performance to meet today's demanding application requirements, such as voice, video, and secure wireless technologies.

ISCW - Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks
Learn to secure the network environment using existing Cisco IOS security features and configure the three primary components of the Cisco IOS Firewall Feature set (Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System [IPS], and Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting [AAA]). In this task-oriented course, you'll get the knowledge and skills needed to secure Cisco IOS router networks. Expand the reach of your enterprise network to teleworkers and remote sites, and explore implementing a highly available network with connectivity options such as VPN and wireless.

ONT (Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks)
Learn the characteristics of real-time multimedia traffic, such as voice, and you'll investigate the importance of Quality of Service management on the network and learn about the application of wireless technologies to the enterprise. Get an introduction to Cisco's Lightweight Wireless Access Point architecture, and cover such areas as Wireless LAN (WLAN) configuration, QoS for wireless, and wireless security techniques for authentication and data encryption. You will also explore the management of Wireless LAN Controllers across the enterprise using Cisco's Wireless Control System.
