Cisco CCNA Course Description

 

Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND1, ICND2, CCNAX - CCNA) Employers worldwide search for Cisco certified network experts who can effectively utilize Cisco products.  Tiburon Technical's course for CCNA certification provides all the training needed to become one of these sought after IT professionals. Our public and private CCNA ICND1,ICND2, and CCNAX courses prepare the student to configure and troubleshoot data communications networks employing Cisco routers and switches.  These courses cover networking fundamentals as well as switch and router design, configuration, and verification specifics. In addition to topic lectures, written exercises, and visual demonstrations of the technology, the course emphasizes hands-on learning via numerous labs designed to reinforce the concepts and commands required to set up and maintain a Cisco-driven network.  Extra time built into the course permits the inclusion of additional practical topics beyond those required for CCNA certification. Access to the Cisco lab equipment via the Internet (24 hours a during each class week) provides an opportunity for each student to gain additional hands-on experience with the equipment on their own schedule. Each student pair shares a pod of equipment consisting of two switches, two routers, and two PCs.  These courses provide preparation for CCENT and CCNA Routing and Switching certifications exams (100-101 ICND1, 200-101 ICND2 or 200-120 CCNA).

Course topics include everything needed to pass the latest CCNA exams
