This course bundle is ideal for anyone looking to establish their Cisco networking career. It consists of one Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification, one Cisco Certified DevNet Associate (CCDA) certification, and four Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) certifications. Although there are no formal prerequisites to enrol on the CCNA, CCDA, or CCNP certification courses and sit the exams, learners should have a good foundation knowledge in networking. The newly retooled CCNA covers a breadth of topics, including: Network fundamentals Network access IP connectivity IP services Security fundamentals Automation and programmability Achieving CCNA certification is the first step in preparing for a career in networking technologies. To earn your CCNA certification, you only need to pass one exam – which covers a broad range of fundamentals for IT careers, based on the latest networking technologies. The Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification validates your skills and knowledge in understanding and using APIs, Cisco platforms and development, application development and security, and infrastructure and automation. Ideally, DevNet Associates candidates also have one or more years of experience with software development including Python programming. The CCNP is the next level from the CCNA and CCDA. As with the CCNA, there are no formal prerequisites to enrol on the CCNP certification course and sit for the exams. Learners taking a CCNP course generally have an in-depth knowledge of networking, as well as a good understanding of Cisco technologies. The typical certification path for most learners would begin with either the CCDA or CCNA, then progress onto the CCNP. Learners need to pass two exams (one core exam and one concentration exam) in order to gain one CCNP certification. This course bundle includes the core exam and three concentration exams. Once a learner has passed the core exam, they can choose to specialise in one or all three of the CCNP concentration areas listed in this course. The core exam’s focus is based around implementing and operating Cisco enterprise network core technologies.

Lawful Intercept training course description Packet based networks require a different approach to Lawful Intercept (LI) than that used in circuit switched networks. This course focuses on what Lawful Interception and Data Retention (DR) means to communications service providers in the IP and NGN areas. The course assumes a basic knowledge of IP networking (i.e. DNS, TCP/UDP, IP, RTP) and the building of services on an IP platform (e.g. SIP, SDP, FTP, HTTP). The course first looks at the regulatory context for LI and DR and how this is translated to a practical architecture. What will you learn Recognise the legal and regulatory obligations to provide LI and DR. Identify the components of the handover architecture for each of LI and DR. Identify the preferred location of points of interception and points of retention in the IP network. Map intercepted material to handover protocols. Understand the data mapping defined in the available standards for both LI and DR. Lawful Intercept training course details Who will benefit: Technical and managerial staff needing to implement public networks. Prerequisites: TCP/IP Foundation Duration 1 day Lawful Intercept training course contents What is meant by LI and DR? Review of regulation: Data protection Directive; Data Retention Directive; RIPA. LI architectures Handover and Interception: ETSI standards ES 201 671 and TS 102 232. LI handover protocol IRI and CC handover; correlation; manual interfaces. DR architectures Handover of query results; points of retention. DR query command set Retrieval of retained records. Security concerns Operation privacy; target privacy; storage and transmission integrity. Implementation Identifying PoI and PoR for provided services. LI and DR wrap up Interaction with other services, storage obligations (volume, time, availability).
