CCNA Boot Camp v2.0 (ICND Part 1 and ICND Part 2)(CCNA)

This course is given on these dates and locations:

This intense five day course is a combination of the Cisco Certified ICND1 (five days) and the ICND2 (five days) course knowledge required to prepare for the CCNA Certification into a boot camp.  Topics covered include security, troubleshooting, and basic wireless labs with more time devoted to performance-based skills with 30% - 50% of each course dedicated to hands-on labs.  The CCNA Certification will validate the ability to install, operate, and troubleshoot a secure, medium-size enterprise network.  The Certification will prepare students for careers in networking and provide a solid foundation for deeper study and specialized training.  Candidates for this Certification include network engineers, technicians, architects, system engineers, system administrators, and telecommunication specialists.  Networking experience is imperative to receive the full benefit of this course.  Additional experience with routing and switching is desirable.  If your practical and conceptual working knowledge is minimal, then it is strongly recommended that you attend each individual course - ICND1 and ICND2 - instead of this intense, combination course.  CCNA Boot Camp assessment is available prior to enrollment.

Please note that although the course content is categorized as beginner, the learning tempo/rate of delivery of the course is advanced.  Therefore, we recommend that candidates have a solid theoretical foundation as well as considerable practical experience when considering boot camp enrollment.

Solid foundation of networking experience, IP subnetting.

Candidates for this internationally recognized CCNA Certification include network engineers, technicians, architects, system engineers, system administrators, and telecommunication specialists.  Due to the large amount of material covered, the candidate should have prior extensive networking experience.  Additional experience with routing and switching is also desirable.
