Cisco Career Certifications - Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA Routing and Switching)

1 The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification covers skills necessary to

administer devices on small or medium-sized networks. This certification requires the ICND1

640-822 and ICND2 640-816 exams. Examinees may take the exams separately or the

composite 640-802 CCNA exam. It is generally a prerequisite to more advanced certifications, such as the CCNA specialty exams and Cisco Professional level certifications, e.g. CCNP,

CCNP-Wireless, CCNP-Security, etc.


Cisco Career Certifications - Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA Routing and Switching)

1 As of early 2013, the traditional CCNA certification was renamed

CCNA Routing and Switching, accompanied by the introduction of

new versions of the ICND1 and ICND2 exams.


CCNA Security

1 'Cisco Career Certifications' are Professional certification (Computer

technology)|IT Professional certifications for Cisco Systems

products


CCNA Security - Training

1 The traditional educational institution that teaches Cisco skills is called the 'Cisco Networking Academy'. Participation in

Cisco Networking Academy classes is not a prerequisite to taking an exam or

obtaining a certification, but it is recommended. The program offers

classes aimed at CCNA (Routing and Switching), CCNP (Routing and Switching)

and CCNA Security certifications.



1 Cisco courses are also offered at collegiate institutions, and training is

available from Cisco Learning Partners, such as the Cisco 360

Learning Program for CCIE and the Cisco Learning Network. All

certifications have official books called Certification Guides released

by Cisco Press.


CCNA Security - Entry-level certification

1 CCENT is the first step towards a CCNA

certification



1 In 2013, Cisco introduced new ICND1 and ICND2 exams (needed for the new CCNA Routing and Switching).

The new exam required for CCENT is ICND1: 100-101 (Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 v2.0). With this change, CCENT

became a sufficient pre-requirement for CCNA Security, CCNA Voice and

CCNA Wireless.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

CCNA Security - Specialty Paths

1 CCNA-certified individuals specialize by technology. All specialized tracks require passing and maintaining a

CCNA certification.


CCNA Security -

1 CCNA Security validates knowledge of security infrastructure, threats,

and vulnerabilities to networks and threat mitigation. Required skills

include installation, troubleshooting and monitoring of network devices to

maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of

data and devices.
