What
is Cisco Certified Network Associate(CCNA)?
|
|
As a Computer professional,
you face the challenge of keeping up with the industries advances to maximize
the potential of new technologies. You must constantly expand your knowledge
and skills and find a reliable way to indicate to your peers, customers
and management that you have current and validated technical skills and
expertise. The CCNA is designed to prepare the applicants to identify, design
and recommend the best Cisco solutions for small to medium-sized businesses.
It provides the installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information
that technical support people require to install and configure the Cisco
products sold through two tier distribution. Lectures, labs and interactive
cases are provided to increase your understanding of the products and to
best position them to meet customers' requirements.
