CCNA Fast Track v2 (CCNAFT) - Courses ICND1v2 & ICND2v2 — A 5 day course
Synopsis
The accelerated Cisco Certified Network Associate v2 (CCNA) Boot Camp is an intensive program, designed to help you achieve your CCNA v2 certification in a reduced period of time.
To maximize your classroom experience and ensure that you get a 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 a pre-test assessment, all of which is designed to give you a firm foundation and get you focused before you enter the classroom.
Classroom Instruction includes intensive instructor-led training and hands-on labs. Students will learn how to install, operate, configure and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, including configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, identifying basic security threats, understanding redundant topologies, troubleshooting common network issues, connecting to a WAN,configuring EIGRP and OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6, understanding wide-area network technologies, and getting familiar with device management and Cisco licensing.
You will have 24-hour lab access during the course.
Following the course you will be provided with ten e-Lab credits, which can be used for additional Lab Practice allowing you to hone your skills using the same hands-on lab equipment you used in the classroom.
