The CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking
for the small office/home office (SOHO) market. CCNA certified
professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN,
and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or
fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols:
IP, IGRP, IPX, Serial, AppleTalk, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs,
RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists.
The training program is available to UNSW students and all
members of the public. No formal prerequisites are required
to undertake
the program. However it is highly recommended that the prospective
student have a basic understanding of computer hardware and
software.
The Cisco Networking Academy® CCNA Routing and Switching
curriculum is designed for students who are seeking entry-level
ICT jobs or plan to pursue more specialized ICT skills.
CCNA Routing and Switching provides comprehensive coverage
of networking topics, from fundamentals to advanced applications
and services, with opportunities for hands-on practical
experience and career skills development.
CCNA Routing and Switching teaches comprehensive
networking concepts, from network applications to the
protocols and services provided to those applications by
the lower layers of the network. Students will progress
from basic networking to more complex enterprise and
theoretical networking models later in the curriculum.
There are four courses in the recommended sequence:
CCNA1 Introduction to Networks
CCNA2 Routing and Switching Essentials
CCNA3 Scaling Networks
CCNA4 Connecting Networks
In each course, Networking Academy™ students
will learn technology concepts with the support of interactive
media and apply and practice this knowledge through a
series of hands-on and simulated activities that reinforce
their learning. For more information see the brochure.
