CCNA


CCNA Overview
The CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking. 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, Serial, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists.

Official courseware, Authorized Training, Cisco Learning Credits Accepted
This class uses the official Cisco Courseware book Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices. This CCNA bootcamp is the only offering in Alaska that utilizes the Authorized courseware from Cisco Systems Inc (NBS is partnered with CCPrep who is a Sponsored Organization of Sunset Learning, A Cisco Learning Solutions Partner.)   Only Cisco Learning Solutions Partners can accept your Cisco credits for class payment.

Router for each Student
Students will each have their own router to work on during all the labs. There will be no sharing of routers to guarantee each student gets the hands on necessary to work with Cisco Routers in the real world. 

Pre-requisites
This class is designed for individuals new to working with Cisco® products, yet have a clear understanding of the OSI model. Students are guaranteed to pass the CCNA Exam, provided prerequisite knowledge / experience is met or exceeded.  Prior to enrolling in the CCNA Boot Camp, it is vitally important that each student have a clear understanding of the OSI model including naming of the seven layers and the function of each layer.  Also required is base line knowledge of TCP/IP.  If you do NOT meet these prerequisites, we recommend that you enroll in our 5 day CCNA Prep class (Network +).

Exams Included
This course will take the SINGLE exam approach.  Students will not take the Intro or ICND exam, rather the CCNA 640-801 exam (which is the latest CCNA Exam).  We guarantee students will pass the CCNA Exam after completing each respective Bootcamp. CCNA bootcamp includes up to three test attempts. Please note that there is a 5 day waiting period between exams.  If the student does not pass the exam, they have a one year window to use their test attempts which were included with the class tuition.   This guarantee is contingent upon the student meeting the pre-requisites of each course.
