Description of CCNA

The CCNA certification training is designed to equip participants with foundational knowledge and practical skills required to install, operate, configure, and troubleshoot small to medium-sized networks. This course covers a broad range of networking concepts, including network components, IP addressing, routing and switching, wireless networking, network security fundamentals, and automation. The course also explores the fundamentals of virtualization, cloud computing, and programmable networks to reflect the evolving role of network professionals in modern IT environments. Through interactive lectures, learners will develop the competencies needed to manage wired and wireless network infrastructures, implement security measures, and support remote and cloud-based network services. This training is ideal for IT professionals, network technicians, and career switchers looking to validate their skills with a globally recognized Cisco certification.
