Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Certification
Semesters I-IV
CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to these protocols: IP, IGRP, Serial, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, and Access Lists.
CCNA certification:
- is the foundation for all other Cisco certifications;
- validates your knowledge and skills;
- gives you proof of professional achievement;
- and improves your career opportunities.
Positions for CCNA certified individuals include:
- Help-desk engineer
- Field technician
- Level 1 Systems Engineer
- Level 1 Systems Integrator
Step #1
Cisco Semester I
CSCT 234 / The Basics of Networking
Recommended prerequisite: At least one to two years experience in either
MacOS or Windows and Internet access.
This course is a beginner’s look at networks, including the different
types and how they work.
Step #2
Cisco Semester II
CSCT 235 / Intermediate Networking Techniques
Recommended Prerequisite: Successful completion of Cisco Semester I.
Gain valuable insight into networking protocols and learn to connect your network
with the Internet. The basics of Cisco routers and terminal access servers
are covered and are a precursor to advanced networking techniques.
Step #3
Cisco Semester III
CSCT 266 / Advanced Router and Switching
Recommended Prerequisite: Successful completion of Cisco Semester II.
Introduces advanced router configurations, advanced LAN switching theory and
design, VLANs, Novell IPX, and threaded case studies. Upon completion you
should be able to describe LAN and network segmentation with bridges, router,
and switches and describe a virtual LAN.
Step #4
Cisco Semester IV
CSCT 267 / Advanced Router and Switching II
Recommended Prerequisite: Successful completion of Cisco Semester III.
Introduces WAN theory and design, WAN technology, PPP, Frame Relay, ISND, and
additional case studies. Learn to provide solutions for network routing problems,
identify ISDN protocols, channels and function groups, and describe the spanning
tree protocol.
Step #5
Upon successful completion of semester I – IV, take and pass the CCNA exam to become CCNA certified. Stop here, or continue toward CCNP certification.
Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Certification
Semester V-VIII
CCNP certification demonstrates advanced or journeyman knowledge of networks. A CCNP network professional can install, configure, and operate LAN/WAN, and dial access services for organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes, including many protocols.
Take semesters V–VIII in preparation for the CCNP exam. Note:
CCNP semesters V through VIII do not need to be taken in succession like
CCNA semesters I through IV.
CCNP Semester V: Advanced Routing
CCNP Semester VI: Remote Access
CCNP Semester VII: Multi-layer Switching
CCNP Semester VIII: Network Troubleshooting
Cisco Semester V
CSCT 343 / Building Scaleable Cisco Internetworks
Focuses on using Cisco routers connected in LANs and WANs typically found at medium to large network sites. This course provides in-depth information on EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS and BGP. BSCI discusses routing principles of both distance vector and link-state routing protocols; IP addressing techniques, the theory behind EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS and BGP routing protocols; and configuration and troubleshooting for each.
