CCNA Training & Certification

CCNA Certification.

CCNA Certification Introduction:

The CCNA (Cisco Certified Networking Associate) certification is the first in Cisco´s line of certifications that an aspiring networking professional must acquire in order to add value to his IT career. The CCNA certification validates a firm foundation of networking skills that include fundamentals like the OSI reference model, networking protocols, Layer 2 switching concepts and protocols, routing concepts and protocols, and wide-area networking (WAN) connectivity.. Thus a person aiming to qualify for the CCNA certification should be proficient in abilities to provide basic network installations and troubleshooting.

CCNP Certification:

CCNP Certification Introduction.

The CCNP (Cisco Certified Networking Professional) Certification is one of the important certifications from Cisco that a networking professional must have to move ahead in his career. The CCNP certification training is now in great demand within the IT industry and over the recent years has become a global standard for many successful IT companies.
 
The importance of achieving the CCNP Certification cannot be stressed enough. This certification from CISCO is accepted all over the world as the best in the field of networking and is perfect for people who wish to excel in the field, for those who are ready to advance their skills or those who have been trying to get into top positions in their networking career. The CCNP certification also equips the network engineer to work independently on complex network solutions.

CCNP Training Details

The all new CCNP Training offered  3 modules 1) CCNP ROUTE 2) CCNP Switch & 3) CCNP TSHOOT which validate the ability to plan, implement, verify and troubleshoot local and wide-area enterprise networks. The course covers topics like EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, IPv6, VPNs, L2 / L3 Switching, VLAN, VTP,HSRP, VRRP, GLBP, VOIP, Wireless, Troubleshooting methods.

The CCNP training is executed by proven Senior Network / WAN Engineers possessing several years of strong field experience.
