The Cisco Networking Academy prepares students to take the Cisco certification exams to become a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCENT and CCNA). Certification validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and trouble shoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN. If desired, students can continue training and apply all earned credits to the Cisco Networking Academy Certificate of Achievement and Associate of Applied Science degree options.
