Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) / Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) Test Prep Training Course Training Course
New York City or Washington, D.C.
The CCNA Router and Switching certification is one of the most popular certifications in the networking industry. The Cisco CCNA Router and Switching certification validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN.
This course covers both Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices(ICND) 1 and Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices(ICND) 2. Using a combination of labs and lectures we are able to cover the exam topics thoroughly. The course covers the 200-125 CCNA Router and Switching exam or the 100-105, 200-105 ICND's exam. Students would need to pass either the single 200-125 or both ICND exams to be CCNA certified. Students can also take just 100-105 to become CCENT certified.
All courses are live instructor-led. If you have a group of employees looking to get certified, call us for a customized quote. We offer great discounts and onsite training for groups of two or more.
All Courses are held live in person at one of our convenient classroom locations or live online
We offer the best hands-on approach to CCNA/CCENT training. By utilizing a combination of over 25 different labs and working with the actual routers and switches students are able to easily understand the concepts and theory.

Candice
"Having the right instructor makes all the difference, when trying to learn complex topics. I tried self-studying but it was hard making time and understanding the topics by myself. Our instructor was able to make the material very easy and fun to learn. His method of not using the book, but explaining while we were doing the lab made the class enjoyable."
Anthony
"I just passed my CCNA exam. The class helped me understand the concepts and how to apply them. Andrew was a fun instructor. His unique approach to teaching was great."
