Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

CCNA-Routing & Switching

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is the first step in a Cisco career certification path. Particular emphasis is given to decision-making and problem-solving techniques in applying 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.

The CCNAv7 curriculum is presented in three courses:

CCNA Part-1: Introduction to Networks (ITN)

CCNA Part-2: Switching, Routing and Wireless Essentials (SRWE)

CCNA Part-3: Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA).

These three courses provide integrated and comprehensive coverage of networking topics including IP routing and switching fundamentals, network security and services, and network programmability and automation while providing learners extensive opportunities for hands-on practical experience and career skills development. The entire curriculum is appropriate for learners at many education levels and types of institutions, including high schools, secondary schools, universities, colleges, career, and technical schools, and community centers.

Three offerings of courses make up the CCNAv7 curriculum.
The three offerings align with and cover the competencies outlined for the CCNA Certification Exam.
Each topic contains a Check Your Understanding interactive quiz, or some other way to assess understanding, such as a lab or a Packet Tracer.
These topic-level assessments are designed to tell learners if they have a good grasp of the topic content, or if they need to review before continuing.
Each offering is comprised of multiple modules. Each module is comprised of topics.
Modules emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and the practical application of skills.
Students learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to prepare for the Cisco CCNA exam, 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.
Assessments and practice activities are focused on specific competencies to increase retention and provide flexibility in the learning path.
Hands-on labs and Cisco Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities help students develop critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills.
Cisco Packet Tracer activities are designed for use with the latest version of Packet Tracer.
Learners can ensure their level of understanding well before taking a graded quiz or exam.
Check Your Understanding quizzes do not affect the learner’s overall grade.

Course Content

CCNA Part-1: Introduction to Networks (ITN)
The first course in the CCNA curriculum introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications and data through the internet and across modern computer networks – including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals. By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LANs) that integrate IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and perform basic configurations for routers and switches.

CCNA Part-2: Switching, Routing and Wireless Essentials (SRWE)
The second course in the CCNA curriculum focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLANs) and security concepts. Students learn key switching and routing concepts. They can perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN.

CCNA Part-3: Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA)
The third course in the CCNAv7 curriculum describes the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise networks. This course covers a wide area network (WAN) technologies and quality of service (QoS) mechanisms used for secure remote access. ENSA also introduces software-defined networking, virtualization, and automation concepts that support the digitalization of networks. Students gain skills to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks and learn to identify and protect against CyberSecurity threats. They are introduced to network management tools and learn key concepts of software-defined networking, including controller-based architectures and how application programming interfaces (APIs) enable network automation.
