Cisco CCNA Certification Fast Track Programme

Course details

Our unique CCNA training course combines five days of intensive hands-on classroom activity with pre- and post-course activities to ensure your success on the 640-802 CCNA certification exam and prepare you to obtain Cisco's new CCNA Concentrations. This exclusive CCNA training course includes a CCNA exam voucher along with our CCNA guarantee.
Based on our Cisco ICND1 and ICND2 courses, our CCNA Boot Camp is an intensive program, designed to help you achieve your CCNA certification in the shortest period of time possible. To maximize your classroom experience and ensure that you get comprehensive coverage of the CCNA materials, our three-step, blended learning approach to the CCNA Boot Camp consists of:
Pre-Class Activity
Classroom Instruction
Post-Class Lab Practice
The Pre-Class Activity provides you with approximately ten hours of review materials and exercises, including a pre-test assessment, Self-Paced e-Learning content, and a readiness test, all designed to give you a firm foundation and get you focused and prepared to get the most out of Classroom Instruction.
Classroom Instruction includes intensive instructor-led training and hands-on labs where you'll learn to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks. You'll also learn the basics of wireless networking as well as mitigating security threats. During Classroom Instruction, you'll have 24-hour lab access.
Following Classroom Instruction, ten e-Lab credits for Post-Class Lab Practice allow you to hone your skills using the same hands-on lab equipment you used in the classroom. And, to make learning even easier, we include both the ICND1 and ICND2 Self-Paced e-Learning CDs so you can continue your studying any time, anywhere.
We have delivered an Authorized CCNA Boot Camp longer than any other Cisco Partner, and every student is eligible for our guarantee, the best available, to make sure you achieve your goals
