Cisco Certification Courses 
At the Network Academy we offer the following Cisco Certification Courses:
CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
The CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) indicates foundation
knowledge of networking. CCNA certified professionals can install, configure,
and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small to medium sized
networks, including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, IGRP,
ISDN, Frame Relay, OSPF, EIGRP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, and Access Lists.
We offer training towards the CCNA in two modes. The first is to follow the official Cisco Network Academy program. This Program is broken down into 4 separate 12-week courses, CCNA1 - CCNA4. Each weekly session takes place in our purpose built training facility and is three and a half hours long, combining lectures and practical lab exercises on our extensive range of Cisco equipment in house.
The second mode of training is aimed at candidates who may have already studied the CCNA curriculum and are looking for a consolidated revision course, or those who work with and have knowledge of the above technologies and protocols and who wish to have that knowledge honed to the exam criteria. This course takes place over 5 full days and again combines lecturers with extensive practical lab exercises that are now an important component of the CCNA exam.
