The Cisco CCNA Exploration training program is an opportunity for
individuals to gain a comprehensive overview of networking through a
powerful and consistent learning experience supported by high quality,
online curricula and assessments, instructor training, hands-on labs,
and classroom interaction. It teaches individuals how to install,
configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched
networks, including implementation and verification of connections to
remote sites in a WAN. This new curriculum includes basic mitigation
of security threats, introduction to wireless networking concepts and
terminology, and performance-based skills.
The program is designed for students with advanced problem-solving
and analytical skills, such as degree candidates in engineering, math, or
science, or for working professionals who would like to advance their
careers or gain certification. The program prepares students for CCNA
certification and for successful IT careers in small-to-medium
businesses, as well as enterprise and service provider environments.
Students need to complete all eight courses of the CCNA Exploration to
fully prepare for the CCNA exam.
Each course meets twice a week for four weeks ending with a Saturday session for the final. Students who successfully complete all course requirements will earn 2.25 quarter units per course. Courses may be used to fulfill some degree requirements.
