CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is an information technology (IT) certification from Cisco Systems. CCNA certification is an associate-level Cisco Career certification.[1]
The Cisco exams have changed several times in response to changing IT trends.[2] In 2020, Cisco announced an update to its certification program that "Consolidated and updated associate-level training and certification."[3] Cisco has consolidated the previous different types of Cisco-certified Network Associate with a general CCNA certification.[4]
The content of the exams is proprietary.[5] Cisco and its learning partners offer a variety of different training methods,[6] including books published by Cisco Press, and online and classroom courses available under the title "Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices".
Exam[edit]
To achieve a CCNA certification, candidates must earn a passing score on Cisco exam No. 200-301.[7] After the exam, candidates receive a score report along with a score breakdown by exam section and the passing score for the given exam.[8]
The exam tests a candidate's knowledge and skills required to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium size enterprise branch network. The exam covers a broad range of fundamentals, including network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, automation, and programmability.[9][10]
Prerequisites[edit]
There are no prerequisites to take the CCNA certification exam. There is also a starting point of networking which is the CCT (Cisco Certified Technician).
Validity[edit]
The validity of CCNA Certification is three years. Renewal requires certification holders to register for and pass the same or higher level Cisco re-certification exam(s) every three years.[11]
