The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is a recognized metric for hiring and job advancement by thousands of companies worldwide. The CCNA is designed for System Administrators, Technicians and those new to networking with Cisco Routers and Switches.
The CCNA exam tests your competence in configuring basic router commands using Cisco IOS software.
The CCNA exam includes simulation and drag and drop questions to validate an individual's understanding and application of the CCNA networking support objectives.
