Primarily taught at the secondary, post-secondary, and higher education levels, CCNAŽ is a 280-hour curriculum and the first step to 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
to install and configure Cisco switches and routers in multiprotocol
networks using local and wide-area networks (LANs and WANs), provide
Level 1 troubleshooting service, and improve network performance and
security.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will receive an
official Cisco Networking Academy Certificate of Completion. This
curriculum also prepares students for the Cisco CCNAŽ and the
CompTIA Network+ certification exams.
The CCNAŽ course will help prime students for career opportunities
such as a network engineer, network administrator, systems analyst,
testing engineer, information systems architect, and systems
integrator. For higher education bound students, this course will
help ready them to enter an electrical engineering, a computer
science or a management information systems degree program.
