Course Description
Everything in networking starts from a strong network design. Designing networks is not an innate skill but one that must be learned through training and practice. The best Network Designers are adding design certifications to their credentials and for Cisco Network Designers, CCDA is the first certification.
The CCDA certification (Cisco Certified Design Associate) indicates a foundation or apprentice knowledge of network design for the Cisco Internetwork Infrastructure. CCDA certified professionals can design routed and switched network infrastructures involving LAN, WAN, and dial access services for businesses and organizations.
To obtain a Cisco Career Certification, you must read and accept the terms of the Cisco Career Certifications and Confidentiality Agreement. Failure to complete this step will prohibit processing of any Cisco Career Certification application.
