Course Overview
Cisco Certified Network Associate is the industry's best-known networking certification and the standard qualification for network technicians and junior engineers working in Cisco environments.
The course covers network fundamentals and host-to-host communication, IP connectivity and routing, switching and VLAN configuration, IP services, wireless fundamentals, security fundamentals, and an introduction to network automation and programmability.
Where CompTIA Network+ is vendor-neutral, CCNA is Cisco-specific and hands-on with Cisco IOS. The two complement each other, and many technicians hold both.
