CISCO CCNA Routing & Switching - Training + Certification prep
Salary trend insights from itjobswatch for a Certified CCNA Professional:
Current CCNA Trends & Top Advantages of Passing Cisco Certification Exams
Do you know how useful it is getting a Cisco certification at any level? Being a Cisco proficient specialist offers you a long way career path with a lasting foundation. Well yes, Cisco has been a top-notch company offering several benefits to people in every manner.
This exam tests a candidate's knowledge and skills related to network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, automation and programmability.
You'll learn about networking based on technology and cover networking concepts using a top-down, theoretical and integrated approach. This will include network applications and the network protocols and services provided to those applications by the lower layers of the network.
You'll find the CCNA Switching, Routing and Wireless Essentials suitable if you have advanced problem solving and analytical skills. The curriculum is also a comprehensive and theoretical learning experience for analytical students, and uses language that aligns well with engineering concepts.
Interactive activities are embedded in the curriculum, along with detailed, theoretical content. You can make use of our practical examples to develop your critical thinking and problem-solving skills through exploration and research.The course, Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA), helps candidates prepare for this exam.
Enrol with MindQube to start preparing your journey towards CCNA.
