Course Description

CCNA is a certification from Cisco. CCNA certification is a first-level Cisco Career certification. CCNA certification validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN. Cisco certifications are a globally recognized credential for IT professionals, and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is one of the top certifications requested in Arizona IT job postings.
Each self-paced online class includes:
Access to training for 12 months. A cloud based lab platform to help you develop practical IT skills. This cloud based lab uses real equipment that enables students to execute each practical task in a safe environment without needing to buy their own hardware or risk damage to their own system. High-quality practical exercises that cover many of the exam topics you will encounter on CompTIA exams. Upon successful completion of a course, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from University of Arizona Continuing & Professional Education.
