Why Cisco Certification is important for you?

best-CCNA-academy-in-bangladesh-2

Our 21st century economy runs on digital networks. Organizations of all kinds depend on a workforce educated to design, build and operate these networks. Analysts expect the information and communications technology (ICT) sector to generate an increasing number of high-skill, in-demand jobs across a broad spectrum of industries. By 2015, it is expected that 90% of jobs will require technology skills and almost all jobs will be ICT-enabled. But there aren’t enough people with the expertise to fill these positions. You need to be ready to take up the challenge. All you need is the opportunity and you can get that by completing Cisco Networking Academy courses and certifications to enhance your qualification.

As shown in the following Figure, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the number of network and computer systems architects will grow 28% by 2020 — twice as fast as all occupations in general. According to Industry Canada, ICT was responsible for 9% of Canada’s GDP growth between 2002 and 2012 (Growing the ICT Industry in Canada: A Knowledge Synthesis, 2010).

What you will study in CCNA?

Cisco qualifications are highly regarded in the networking industry and their position at the leading edge of network development means that their academy program is right up to date. You’ll study this course using an online virtual learning environment provided by Cisco, and develop practical skills, using real networking equipment. The classes are essential for gaining a full understanding of how to configure network equipment. You’ll be expected to configure routers and switches as part of the practical activities carried out at the labs. The activities will be carried out in groups, and you’ll need to prepare those using simulation tools provided as part of the online curriculum. The course is structured into four parts:

  1. Introduction to Networks introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the internet and other computer networks. The principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum. By the end of this part, you will be able to build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP addressing schemes.
  2. Routing and Switching Essentials describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small network. You will learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality. By the end of this part, you will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with RIPv1, RIPv2, single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
  3. Scaling Networks describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a larger and more complex network. You will learn how to configure routers and switches for advanced functionality. By the end of this part, you will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and VTP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. You will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement DHCP and DNS operations in a network.
  4. Connecting Networks discusses the WAN technologies and network services required by converged applications in a complex network. Completing this part will enable you to understand the selection criteria of network devices and WAN technologies to meet network requirements. You will learn how to configure and troubleshoot network devices and resolve common issues with data link protocols. You will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement IPSec and virtual private network (VPN) operations in a complex network.

 

The Networking Academy Curriculum

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is the first step in a Cisco career certification path. Particular emphasis is given to using decision-making and problem solving techniques in the application of science, mathematics, communication and social studies concepts to solve networking problems. Students will learn how to install and configure Cisco switches and routers in multi-protocol networks, using local and wide-area networks (LANs and WANs), provide Level 1 troubleshooting service, and improve network performance and security. Additionally, instruction and training are provided in the proper care, maintenance, and use of networking software tools and equipment, as well as all local, state and federal safety, building and environmental codes and regulations.

Target Audience

The Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum is designed for Cisco Networking Academy® students who are seeking entry-level jobs in the ICT industry or hope to fulfill prerequisites to pursue more specialized ICT skills. CCNA Routing and Switching provides an integrated and comprehensive coverage of networking topics, from fundamentals to advanced applications and services, while providing opportunities for hands-on practical experience and career skills development. The curriculum is appropriate for students at many education levels and types of institutions, including high schools, secondary schools, universities, colleges, career and technical schools, and community centers.

Curriculum Overview

The CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum consists of seven courses, which provides greater flexibility to accommodate different student learning goals and allow instructors to personalize their teaching styles and instructional flows. Students will be prepared to take the Cisco CCENT® certification exam after completing a set of two courses or the CCNA Routing and Switching certification exam after completing a set of four courses. The curriculum also helps students develop workforce readiness skills and builds a foundation for success in networking-related careers and degree programs. Following figure shows the different courses included in the CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum.

In each course, Networking Academy™ students will learn technology concepts with the support of interactive media and apply and practice this knowledge through a series of hands-on and simulated activities that reinforce their learning.

CCNA Routing and Switching teaches comprehensive networking concepts and skills, from network applications to the protocols and services provided to those applications by the lower layers of the network. Students will progress from basic networking to more complex enterprise and theoretical networking models later in the curriculum. CCNA Routing and Switching includes the following features:

  • Students learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to prepare for the Cisco CCENT and CCNA certification exams, networking related degree programs, and entry-level networking careers.
  • The language used to describe networking concepts is designed to be easily understood by learners at all levels and embedded interactive activities help reinforce comprehension.
  • Courses emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and the practical application of skills.
  • Multimedia learning tools, including videos, games, and quizzes, address a variety of learning styles and help stimulate learning and promote increased knowledge retention.
  • Hands-on labs and Cisco® Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities help students develop critical thinking and complex problem solving skills.
  • Embedded assessments provide immediate feedback to support the evaluation of knowledge and acquired skills.
