Overview

Get the Cisco CCNA and CCNA Security certifications in just nine days. First you'll learn to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size route and switched networks. Then the Cisco CCNA Security part of the course introduces you to the core network security technologies.

Upon completion of this CCNA & CCNA Security course, you'll learn how to:

  • Understand the OSI and TCP network models
  • Implement an IP addressing scheme
  • Implement a switched network using VLANS
  • Understand the concepts of WLANS
  • Implement routed Cisco networks using RIPv2, OSPF and EIGRP protocols
  • Configure and troubleshoot WAN connections using serial protocols and Frame Relay
  • Configure Cisco router using IOS security features
  • Configure Intrusion prevention on Cisco devices
  • Understand the firewall features on Cisco devices

During this Cisco CCNA & CCNA Security training, you’ll gain the following certifications:

  • Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT)
  • Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
  • Cisco Certified Network Associate Security

Seven reasons why you should sit your CCNA & Security course with Firebrand Training

  1. You'll be CCNA & Security certified in just 11 days. With us, you’ll be CCNA & Security trained in record time
  2. Our CCNA & Security course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass CCNA & Security first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs
  4. You’ll learn more CCNA & Security. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn CCNA & Security faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying CCNA & Security with the best. We’ve been named in Training Industry’s “Top 20 IT Training Companies of the Year” every year since 2010. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 134,561 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study CCNA & Security courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering training. Courses that include certification come with a certification guarantee. Pass first time or train again for free (just pay for accommodation and exams on your return). We do not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.
