Overview

Official Cisco CCNA course, CCNA Training and CCNA certification

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

On this 5-day accelerated CCNAX course you’ll learn both Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Parts 1 and 2 (ICND1 & ICND2).

You’ll learn to install, operate, configure and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, including:

Configuring a LAN switch
Configuring an IP router
Connecting to a WAN
Identifying basic security threats

You’ll also get familiar with more in-depth topics such as how to install, operate and troubleshoot a medium-sized network, including connecting to a WAN and implementing network security.

On this course, you’ll benefit from our unique Lecture | Lab | Review approach that combines both theoretical and practical learning. This will help accelerate your learning and ensure you have the hands-on experience necessary to apply your new found knowledge as soon as you return to work.

You’ll also get 24/7 access to practice labs, official Cisco curriculum and real Cisco networking equipment.

The CCNAX course differs from the CCNA Routing & Switching course in that it combines and shortens the ICND1 and ICND2 curriculum and requires that you only take the 200-125 CCNA examination. Achieving this will result in the CCNA Routing and Switching certification. You’ll sit this exam, covered by your Certification Guarantee, just steps from your classroom.
