When you pass the Cisco ICND1 exam, you get the CCENT certification. The CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) certification validates the skills required for entry-level network support positions, the starting point for many successful careers in networking. You'll gain the knowledge and skills to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security. CCENT certification is the first step toward achieving your CCNA, which covers medium size enterprise branch networks with more complex connections.
During our 3-day Certification Training Program, you will live, learn, and take the exam at one of our state-of-the-art education centres. The curriculum covers:
- Networking fundamentals
- WAN technologies
- Basic security and wireless concepts
- Routing and switching fundamentals
- Configuring simple networks
This blended-learning program employs outcome-based (Lecture | Lab | Review) delivery - that focuses on preparing you with the real-world skills required to pass the simulator-based CCENT exam and to hit the ground running in your career.
- Allows you to achieve your certification in half the time of 'traditional training' while delivering industry-leading exam passing percentages
- Helps students grasp complex technical concepts more easily by identifying and catering to individual student learning styles through a mixed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic-tactual delivery system
- Enhances retention by employing accelerated learning techniques focused on committing information to long-term memory
Many topics have moved from ICND2 into ICND1 in the latest v2.0 update. Other topics such as RIP and wireless, have been removed from the course. The content has also been updated for the new Cisco IOS Software Release 15.
