Course Content:
The CCNA Boot Camp combines ICND1, which offers fundamental networking knowledge and ICND2, which will provide an advanced look at troubleshooting and introducing security and wireless topics. Both courses incorporate a large proportion of hands-on lab experience.
Boot Camps are concentrated classes and delegates should be prepared for additional work during the evenings and at weekends.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN 8 DAY COURSE
Delegates should have a reasonable understanding of the basics of Routing and Switching technologies - they should be familiar with a PC, understand how to change an IP address on a PC, use the ipconfig command and understand the different types of Ethernet cable.
Preparation material can be found by registering as a user on the Cisco website and accessing the CCNA Prep Center.
Boot Camps can be an intensive learning experience. Complete beginners to Cisco networking should consider attending the following courses to gain their CCNA:
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1
and
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2
Course Objectives:
After completing this course, delegates will be able to:
