The Cisco Networking Academy program provides a comprehensive overview of networking from fundamentals to advanced applications and services to help you prepare for IT professional careers and the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) certification exam.
The program emphasizes theoretical concepts and practical applications, while providing the hands-on labs needed to design, install, operate, and maintain networks in small-to-medium businesses, as well as enterprise and service provider environments.
Completion of the program provides you with the basic and advanced networking competencies you need to sit the certification exam for Cisco's Certified Network Associate (CCNA) designation. Program graduates also receive a Certificate of Networking from the Division of Lifelong Learning.
