This course bundle is ideal for anyone looking to establish their Cisco networking career. It consists of one Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification, and two Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) certifications. Although there are no formal prerequisites to enrol on the CCNA certification course and sit for the exam, 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 CCNP is the next level from the CCNA. 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 the CCNA, then progress onto the CCNP. Learners need to pass two exams (one core exam and one concentration exam) in order to gain a CCNP certification. This course bundle includes both exams. The core exam’s focus is based around implementing and operating Cisco enterprise network core technologies. The concentration exam’s focus for this particular bundle is around designing Cisco enterprise networks.
