Designed to help you achieve your CCNA certification in the shortest period of time possible...

Overview

This accelerated, hands-on Cisco certification training course will prepare you for the new version of the CCNA Composite Exam (640-802 CCNA). Based on the Cisco ICND1 and Cisco ICND2 courses, our Cisco CCNA v1.1 training is an intensive program, designed to help you achieve your CCNA certification in the shortest period of time possible. To maximize your classroom experience and ensure that you get comprehensive coverage of the CCNA materials, our three-step, blended learning approach to this Cisco training consists of:

• Pre-Class Activity
• Classroom Instruction
• Post-Class Lab Practice

The pre-class activity provides you with approximately ten hours of review materials and exercises, including a pre-test assessment, self-paced e-learning content, and a readiness test, all designed to give you a firm foundation and get you focused and prepared to get the most out of classroom instruction.

Classroom instruction includes intensive instructor-led training and hands-on labs where you'll learn to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks. You'll also learn the basics of wireless networking as well as how to mitigate security threats. During classroom instruction, you'll have 24-hour lab access.

You'll also receive ten e-Lab credits toward post-class labs. Practice labs allow you to hone your skills using the same hands-on lab equipment you used in the classroom. And, to make learning even easier, we include both the Cisco ICND1 and Cisco ICND2 self-paced e-learning CDs so you can continue your studying any time, anywhere.
