CCNA Training FAQs

The CCNA Certification, or Cisco Certified Network Associate Certification, is a renowned credential offered by Cisco that affirms an individual's foundational knowledge and skills in networking, including the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks.
Obtaining a CCNA Certification enhances career opportunities, provides essential networking skills, increases earning potential, and serves as a foundation for career progression in IT.
To pass the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam, delegates must be involved in studying the entire syllabus, taking practice exams for self-assessment, and reviewing and refining your understanding. Delegates can easily pass with a combination of study materials, practice, and hands-on experience.
The amount of time it takes to complete CCNA Training depends on delegates’ learning style and how much time they can commit for studying. However, with The Knowledge Academy’s expert guidance and world-class materials, the delegates can expect to be prepared for the exams in much less time.
The Knowledge Academy offers flexible learning choices, including classroom training, online instructor-led sessions, on-site training, and self-paced learning modes for CCNA Training Courses. This flexibility caters to diverse preferences and schedules, ensuring a suitable learning experience for every delegate.
The benefits of Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Training include improved networking knowledge, career opportunities with a globally recognised certification, staying updated with industry trends, and the ability to maintain and optimise network performance.
The CCNA exam assesses your networking proficiency in areas like routing, switching, network access, IP services, security, and automation. Topics covered include LAN setup, router and switch troubleshooting, IP addressing, ACLs, WAN technologies, authentication methods, QoS, and IP services like NAT.
There are no formal prerequisites required for the CCNA Certification Course. However, a basic knowledge of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP and basic networking concepts can be beneficial for the delegates. These resources, such as CCNA Training Courses or self-study materials, can be immensely helpful in preparing for the certification exam.
After completing courses on CCNA, various job opportunities open in the field of networking, including roles such as Network Administrator, Network Engineer, or Support Technician. These positions typically involve responsibilities related to configuring and managing network systems.
A certification in CCNA can immensely benefit IT professionals by validating their expertise in networking concepts and equipping them with knowledge about the latest technological advancements. It also paves the way for pursuing higher certifications, such as CCNP, fostering career growth through the attainment of specialist roles, and potentially commanding higher remuneration in the IT industry.
CCNA Certification is highly recommended for individuals aiming for networking or security careers, as Cisco Certifications are renowned for their industry recognition and rigor, making them valuable to employers worldwide. Entry-level IT professionals seeking career growth, enhanced marketability, or simply wanting to explore networking can benefit from pursuing a Network Associate Certification to showcase their commitment to the field.
Whether CCNA or CISSP is better depends on your career goals. The CCNA Course is ideal for those focusing on networking roles, offering foundational knowledge in networking concepts. On the other hand, the CISSP Course is tailored for IT security professionals, providing a deep dive into cybersecurity principles. Both are highly regarded but cater to different specialisations in the IT field.
