Cisco CCNA

The CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) qualification is a highly regarded credential for IT support staff and network administrators.
The CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician) qualification is Cisco's entry-level network credential.
Our ICND ONE course prepares you to take the ICND 1 640-822 exam. On passing this exam, you will qualify as a CCENT.
Our ICND TWO course prepares you to take the ICND 2 640-816 exam.
After passing the ICND 1 and ICND 2 exams, you will qualify as a CCNA.
Alternatively, you could qualify as a CCNA, after studying by taking the single CCNA 640-802 exam after studying the ICND ONE and ICND TWO courses.
However, this single-exam option does not lead to a CCENT qualification.
This Cisco training programme will take you approximately 100-160 hours of study and, apart from regular weekly tutorials, you can study at times to suit you, either from work, home or at the Pitman Training centre in London Pitman Training.
Who Should Take This Course?
This Cisco training course is intended for network administrators and technicians, new to Cisco products and services, who are responsible for implementing and managing small and medium business networks.

How It Works.
On enrolment, we'll send your courseware with a study plan, explaining what you need to read and experiment with before your first tutorial.
Every week at the appointed time, you?ll log on for an interactive online tutorial with your mentor, following which you will be given your study workload for the coming week.
If there's anything you?re unsure about, you have lots of time to practise and investigate in our virtual labs where we replicate the actual systems you?ll be using at work, or you can post an online question to your mentor for support, information and guidance.
The great thing is that, apart from your weekly tutorial, you can fit your studies and revision around your other commitments!
You're not tied down to a rigid timetable and if you need extra time to explore a learning point, there's no problem!
You will take frequent progress tests to ensure you fully understand the material you have been studying and when you have completed the programme, you'll take a mock test to ensure you are ready for your exam. They'll help you establish the best way forward including tutorial dates and course availability.
They'll also arrange for you to have a personal demonstration of our Cisco training methodology at our learning centre, so you can experience first hand, the quality, clarity and flexibility of our training style.
Demonstration slots are limited so contact us today to book yourself in - you won't regret it!
