Description

If you want to jumpstart your career in IT and networking by acing the Cisco Certified Network Associate CCNA exam, then this course is for you! It gives you a full understanding of all the concepts and topics you need to earn the most in-demand networking certification today by passing the Cisco CCNA 200-301 exam.

This course is always kept up-to-date for the latest version of the exam (currently v1.1).

This is the one course you need to get your CCNA.

Full lab exercises are included so you'll get the hands-on practical skills you need to work on real world networks, and it's the only CCNA course online where all questions posted in the Q&A section are answered.

You'll develop full readiness for the CCNA exam with complete Study Notes and Anki Flashcards to ensure you understand and remember everything covered in the course.

It offers an easy-to-understand, structured approach to shortcut your path to mastering Cisco networking to the CCNA level and beyond.


In this course, you will:

  • Develop a deep understanding of Cisco’s features and functions

  • Walk through complete and easy to understand explanations of each technology area covered in the exam

  • Follow simple step by step instructions to build your own fully featured lab on your laptop for free

  • Gain hands on configuration and troubleshooting experience through comprehensive lab exercises

  • Be ready for exam day with complete Study Notes and Anki Flashcards

  • Learn how networking really works through real world examples throughout the course

  • Build the skills and confidence to crush the CCNA 200-301 exam

  • Gain demonstrable knowledge and practical experience to supercharge your networking career


Supercharge Your Learning with Hands-on Practice

This course is chock full of activities. You’ll get over 300 pages of hands-on lab exercises with detailed answers to check your understanding every step of the way and build your configuration and troubleshooting skills.  Full diagrams and lab setup files are included so you can get started immediately with just your laptop. No equipment or previous experience is required.

All slides in the course are also included in supplemental study notes format with expanded bullet points clearly explaining the technologies. Easily review exam topics to solidify your understanding and get a final refresher when test day is approaching.  


Why Learn from Me

In this course, you won’t just gain the book smarts to pass the exam. You’ll also hone your hands-on skills to succeed as a network engineer in the real world. I’m a professional instructor who has been entrusted by Cisco since 2007 to develop and deliver training courses for their own engineers and partners. I’ve also designed multiple training courses for the largest service providers in the Asia Pacific region such as IBM, Verizon, and the Australian National Broadband Network. I’ve spent years distilling my decade’s worth of networking experience from the field into mentoring and supporting other systems engineers, and I’m passionate about passing my knowledge of Cisco networks onto others.

As a student in this course, you’ll get lifetime access to the course materials and answers to every question you ask in the Q&A board. I love interacting with my students: anything you want to know, please ask. The course also comes with an unconditional risk-free 30 day money-back guarantee–that's my personal promise of your success.


Value

If you take a comparable course at a training centre it will cost you thousands of dollars, and when it’s over you can’t experience the tutorials again or ask the instructor any more questions. When you take my course you can learn anytime you want in the comfort of your own home, and I’m always here for you whenever you need any help.

Not sure about the best way to pay for this course? Ask your manager at work if they’ll expense it. They won’t have to pay the large fees of traditional classroom learning or have to cover your absence for a week. They get huge value from this investment in your future.

When you’re done with the course, you’ll have everything you need to crush the Cisco CCNA exam. I’m excited to share all of my knowledge with you.

Join me on this journey to turbocharging your career!
