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.
