Cisco CCNA (ICND2)

This certification retired on 24^th February 2020. Our closest replacement is CCNA.

When you pass the Cisco ICND2 exam, you'll upgrade your CCENT certification to the CCNA. On the course, you'll learn how to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot a small-to-medium-sized network environments. This accelerated three-day course focuses on the following:

• Redundant topologies
• Troubleshooting common network issues
• Configuring EIGRP
• Multi-area OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6
• Wide Area Network technologies
• Device management
• Cisco licensing
• Using Cisco Catalyst switches
• Cisco routers connected in LANs and WANs

This certification is 40% faster than traditional training. During the week, you’ll take the ICND2 exam which completes your CCNA certification.

Why is Cisco training at Firebrand different?

Firebrand’s accelerated CCNA training course offers you access to more equipment.

Typically, CCNA training providers and the equipment made available can vary greatly. Often, you'll only be given access to remote labs and never see the actual equipment, only doing exercises based on a connection to a rack of equipment “somewhere”…

At Firebrand we do things differently. We believe that in your first exposure to Cisco you should see, feel, and touch the kit. You need to get hands on practitcal experience to know about interfaces and ports, but not by seeing a PowerPoint slide or a diagram, rather by actually connecting cables to the router or switch.

You’ll work in pairs and share a “pod” of equipment located in a rack. You have your own 2811 router and 2960 switch, access to additional equipment such as a Frame-Relay switch, along with additional routers and switches should you wish to tinker.

The equipment we supply, alongside 24 hour lab access, gives you the tools to prepare you both for the CCNA exams, and more importantly, the real world.

Gold certification from the IPv6 Forum's Education Certification Program

CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE Routing and Switching certifications have received Gold certification from the IPv6 Forum's Education Certification Program. This means that students who gain these certifications can display the IPv6 logo, demonstrating that they have attained IPv6 knowledge and skills. The IPv6 Forum is a worldwide consortium of leading Internet vendors, Industry Subject Matter Experts, Research & Education Networks, with the mission to advocate the adoption of IPv6 technology.

During this official Cisco CCNA training course, you'll learn the following material:
