Course Overview
The courses in the CCNA Version 7.0 curriculum help students develop a comprehensive foundation for designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting modern computer networks, on the scale from small business networks to enterprise networks, with an emphasis on hands-on learning and essential career skills like problem solving and collaboration.

The first year comprises two parts or semesters: Introduction to Networks (ITN) and Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials (SRWE)
The learning takes place through a combination of Hands-on labs and Cisco Packet Tracer network simulation activities. There are videos, activities, and quizzes reinforce learning.

Part 1 - ITN: Introduction to Networks
The first course in the CCNA curriculum introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications and data through the Internet and across modern computer networks - including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals.
By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LAN) that integrate IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and perform basic configurations for routers and switches.

Part 2 - SRWE: Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials
The second course in the CCNA curriculum focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts.
By the end of this course students learn key switching and routing concepts. They can perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN.
Classes are based upon the multimedia online curriculum supplied by Cisco, which is supported by tutor-led teaching and practical lab sessions. Each of the two semesters (ITN and SRWE) are assessed by a theory final examination, through an online assessment.
There are no formal entry requirements for this course, however this is an intermediate to advanced level course and candidates would benefit from having some knowledge and experience with computers and/or hardware and software.
By the end of the CCNA course series, students gain practical, hands-on experience preparing them for the CCNA certification exam and career-ready skills for associate-level roles in the Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) industry.
