The Cisco Network Associate certification validates the skills required for entry-level network engineering/technical support/administration positions. Candidates will gain the knowledge and skill to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security and also successfully complete the CCNA examination. 
 

This is a 3-part hands-on intensive course: 
 
CCNA-1: Introduction to Networks 

CCNA-1: Switching, Routing and Wireless Essentials  

CCNA-3: Enterprise Networking, Security and Automation 

This course will follow the same curriculum and labs as those offered as part as MCC’s A.A.S degree in Information and Network Technology; namely: CPT 115 – Introduction to Networks, CPT 215 – Routing Fundamentals, and CPT 219 – Enterprise Networking.   
 
As such, students meeting the academic requirements will be able to obtain credits (3 each for each course), subject to approval of their application for credit. 

Pre-requisites:  CCNA focuses largely on Cisco-specific configurations and management. A background in networking and a working knowledge of Cisco equipment is desired.  Previous CompTIA Network+ or CCT certification is highly recommended. The ideal candidate is already working in IT networking and is looking to advance their career with CCNA certification.
