Video training course for the novice student considering taking the Cisco CCNA exam and who wants to build a solid foundation first.
The CCNA is not a beginners exam. Even if you have passed the CompTIA Network+ you will find it a big challenge. What has been lacking until now is a course which bridges the gap between a basic knowledge of internetworking and a foundational Cisco course. Consider taking this course if:
- You want to take the CCNA but didn't follow the Network+ course
- Have passed the Network+ but want to set a foundation for the CCNA
- Feel you are missing knowledge around TCP/IP and Cisco networking
- Want to do a fun and non-intensive course to build confidence and knowledge
