Cisco Certified Network Associate Bootcamp v2.0

5-day Hands-on Course

This course will prepare you for the new version of the CCNA Composite Exam (640-802 CCNA).

Course Description

Based on the Cisco ICND1 and ICND2 courses, this CCNA Boot Camp is an intensive program, designed to help you achieve your CCNA certification in the shortest period of time possible. To maximize your classroom experience and ensure that you get comprehensive coverage of the CCNA materials, our three-step, blended learning approach to the CCNA Boot Camp consists of:

1. Pre-Class Activity
2. Classroom Instruction
3. Post-Class Lab Practice

The Pre-Class Activity provides you with approximately ten hours of review materials and exercises, including a pre-test assessment, Self-Paced e-Learning content, and a readiness test, all designed to give you a firm foundation and get you focused and prepared to get the most out of Classroom Instruction.

Classroom Instruction includes intensive instructor-led training and hands-on labs where you'll learn to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks. You'll also learn the basics of wireless networking as well as mitigating security threats. During Classroom Instruction, you'll have 24-hour lab access.

Following Classroom Instruction, ten e-Lab credits for Post-Class Lab Practice allow you to hone your skills using the same hands-on lab equipment you used in the classroom. And, to make learning even easier, we include both the ICND1 and ICND2 Self-Paced e-Learning CDs so you can continue your studying any time, anywhere.

• Approximately 10 hours of pre-class activity
• Enhanced content that exceeds standard authorized Cisco content
• World-class Certified Cisco Systems instructors
• CCNA workbook and lab guide, including exclusive additional labs
• Additional study aids to help you pass the CCNA exam
• Free ICND1 and ICND2 Self-Paced e-Learning CDs
• 10 e-Lab credits for lab practice during the week following class
• Access to Self Test Software's exam prep products
• One free exam voucher for 640-802 CCNA
• An unrivaled CCNA Boot Camp guarantee

CCNA certification is the base upon which many Cisco training paths are built. See the Certifications section of our web site for complete details.

Class begins each day at 8:00 AM and may extend until 8:00 PM or later. Students should expect class to run late into the evening on most days. In a typical Boot Camp, it is not uncommon for some students to remain past 8:00 PM, depending upon the class size and experience of the students.

Our Virtual Classroom e-Learning Boot Camp runs for five days. Expect at least six hours of class daily, plus e-Labs and homework assignments of at least two hours daily. The instructor will have office hours each day.

Intended Audience

Individuals who possess a general networking background, have some experience with Cisco IOS, and are seeking CCNA certification should consider this class as the quickest way to meet the requirements of the CCNA exam.

Prerequisites

Prior to attending CCNA, you should be very familiar with networking topics such as TCP/IP, IP configuration, peer-to-peer networking, subnetting, building a routing table, and other network protocols, standards, and architecture. If you're new to networking and to Cisco IOS, consider taking the ICND1 and ICND2 classes. We strongly encourage career changers and people new to internetworking to gain the foundation knowledge needed
