Cisco - CCNA   

A Firebrand Training
5
Day Course

Cisco - CCNA  - Overview

Seven reasons why you should sit your CCNA course with Firebrand Training

  1. You’ll be CCNA certified in just 5 days. With us, you’ll be CCNA trained in record time
  2. Our CCNA course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass CCNA first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your CCNA course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
  4. You’ll learn more CCNA. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn CCNA faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying CCNA with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study CCNA courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.

"Excellent course, very intense and can't believe just how much I have learnt in such a short time." Andrew Stevens (Firebrand Cisco CCNA certified)

"I could not think of a better way to train for any Cisco certification and would recommend Firebrand Training to anyone." Colum Keenan (Firebrand CCNA certified)

Cisco - CCNA  - Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.

Cisco - CCNA  - What's Included

Why is Cisco at Firebrand different?

Firebrand’s accelerated CCNA course offers you access to more equipment than most of our competitors.

There are many Cisco training providers and the equipment used can vary greatly. Several use remote labs where you never see the actual equipment but do exercises based on a connection to a rack of equipment “somewhere”…

At Firebrand we see things differently. We believe that in your first exposure to Cisco you should see, feel, and touch the kit. You need to know about interfaces and ports, but not by seeing a PowerPoint slide or a diagram, rather by actually connecting cables to the router or switch.

You’ll work in pairs and share a “pod” of equipment located in a rack. You have your own 2811 router and 2960 switch, access to additional equipment such as a Frame-Relay switch, along with additional routers and switches should you wish to tinker.

The equipment we supply, alongside 24 hour lab access, gives you the tools to prepare you both for the CCNA exams, more importantly, the real world.

Books provided for free on the course

  • CCNA ICND1 Exam Certification Guide ISBN: 9781587201820
  • CCNA ICND2 Exam Certification Guide ISBN: 9781587201813

With Firebrand, you benefit from top-quality education in an all-inclusive course package specifically designed for the needs and ease of our students. We attend to every detail so you can focus solely on your studies and certification goals.

You’ll get a robust set of course materials that cater to each of our three key individual learning styles (auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic-tactile) - critical for a successful learning experience.

Our Certification Programmes include:

  • Daily lectures, exercises, and review sessions
  • Intensive hands-on training utilising our (Lecture | Lab | Review)TM delivery
  • Comprehensive study materials and courseware - we adapt official curriculum to address the demands of accelerated learners
  • Self-testing software and/or mock exam papers*
  • Fully instructor-led programme with 24-hour lab access
  • Exam vouchers*
  • On-site testing*
  • Accommodation, all meals, drinks and snacks*
  • Our Certification Guarantee - because we're sure you'll pass first time, if you don’t pass your exams, come back to the course within a year and you only pay for accommodation and exam vouchers - everything else is free

* Please note:

  • Our ISC(2) CISSP CBK Review programme differs from normal course delivery. For more details, speak to us on 080 80 800 888.
  • Practice tests are not available for the Microsoft MCTS System Center Configuration Manager 2007 course
  • Exam vouchers for our (ISC)2, ISACA or PMI certifications need to be purchased directly from the vendor ahead of the course. You will still sit your (ISC)2 exam on-site as part of the course.
  • On-site testing is not included in our Scrum, ISACA or PMI certifications. You will sit your PMI exam at a nearby academic open Prometric Test Centre on the final day of the five-day course.

Our instructors teach to accommodate every student's learning needs through individualised instruction, hands-on labs, lab partner and group exercises, independent study, self-testing, and question/answer drills.

Firebrand Training has dedicated, well-equipped educational facilities where you will attend instruction and labs and have access to comfortable study and lounging rooms. Our students consistently say our facilities are second-to-none.

Examination Passing Policy

Should a student complete a Firebrand Training programme without having successfully passed all vendor examinations, the student may re-attend that programme for a period of one year.  Students will only be responsible for accommodation and vendor exam fees.

Cisco - CCNA  - Prerequisites

Students that are successful in the Cisco CCNA training course are required to meet the following prerequisites:

  • Experience of a desktop operating system
  • Knowledge of networking fundamentals

Are you ready to get certified in record time?

We interview all applicants for the course on their technical background, degrees and certifications held, and general suitability. If you get through this screening process, it means you stand a great chance of passing.

Firebrand Training is an immersive training environment. You must be committed to the course. The above prerequisites are guidelines, but many students with less experience have other background or traits that have enabled their success in accelerated training through Firebrand Training.

If you have any doubts as to whether you meet the pre-requisites please call (for free) 080 80 800 888 and speak to one of our enrolment consultants, who can help you with a study plan.

CCNA - Testimonials

"Its tough but well worth it!"
Martin Bell, Friends Reunited Ltd.
Cisco CCNA (5 Days) (9/3/2009 to 14/3/2009)

"I am now an absolute advocate of learning in this fashion. I am positive that, if I just review the material for one hour a day for the next 2 weeks to move it from short-term to long-term memory, that the knowledge will stay with me forever - whereas the slower pace of traditional courses allows for info to be forgotten by the time you leave the classroom !!"
James Wagner.
Cisco CCNA (5 Days) (1/12/2008 to 6/12/2008)

"Intense CCNA training course led by excellent instruction, comfortable lodgings and nice food. I chose Firebrand training because exams were included at the end of training, rather than booking them yourself some time later. (or not)"
