CCNA is a 212-hour program divided into three courses and taught over approximately seven months. During your training, you will learn how to design, install, operate, and maintain networks for small to medium-sized businesses, as well as networks in enterprise and service provider environments.
The program goes in-depth into networking theory and includes engaging lab exercises along with detailed reviews of each protocol’s operations. It also covers security, automation, and programming, addressing a broad range of topics: Network Fundamentals, Network Access, IP Connectivity, IP Services, Security Fundamentals, Automation and Programmability.
Certification Track: 200-301 Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) after successfully passing the exam at an authorized Pearson VUE testing center.
The course is for: graduates and professionals seeking to upskill, switch, or restart their careers with a globally recognized, in-demand certification.
Prerequisites: Intermediate-level (B2) knowledge of English, basic computer skills.
The first course in the CCNA curriculum introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications and data through the Internet and across modern computer networks - including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals.
By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LAN) that integrate IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and perform basic configurations for routers and switches.
The second course in the CCNA curriculum focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts.
Students learn key switching and routing concepts. They can perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN.
The third CCNA course describes the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise networks – including wide area network (WAN) technologies & quality of service (QoS) mechanisms for secure remote access, along with software-defined networking, virtualization, & automation concepts supporting network digitization.
Students gain skills to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks, and learn to identify and protect against cybersecurity threats. They are introduced to network management tools and learn key concepts of software-defined networking, including controller-based architectures and how application programming interfaces (APIs) enable network automation.

Cisco Academy offers e-learning programs using Cisco’s online educational platform, NetAcad. The curriculum and training materials are accessible online from any device, such as a PC, Mac, Linux system, mobile phone, or tablet. Hands-on training is conducted using real Cisco equipment, not simulators.
What sets Cisco Academy apart is not only the online training but also the hands-on experience. Given the practical nature of the program, the equipment used during your training is extremely important. At our Academy, you will practice on real equipment and in labs that simulate modern network topologies, working at an individual workstation. The equipment is sourced from Cisco Systems, but the program is designed to teach you how to work with any type of network hardware.
