About the course

First Step Toward a Networking Career

Begin preparing for a networking career with this introduction to how networks operate. This first course in the 3-course CCNA series introduces architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements –functions needed to support the operations and prioritiesof Fortune 500 companies to small innovative retailers. You’ll even get the chance to build simple local area networks (LANs). Developing a working knowledge of IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, you'll be able to perform basic configurations for routers and switches.

No prerequisites required. After completing all three CCNA courses, you are ready to take the CCNA Certification.Why should you do CCNA? There are many reasons, why you seek a CCNA certification.

You will gain knowledge and enhance your skills in networking.

You will gain professional CCNA label with your name.
