Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is the first step in a Cisco career certification path. CCNA provides students with a basic foundation in networking.

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 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.

Students who successfully complete this portion of the program are eligible to earn Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA™) certification.
