CCNA Certification Exam(200-301)
The Cisco Networking Academy® CCNA® 7.0 curriculum is designed for participants who are seeking associate-level jobs in the ICT
industry or hope to fulfill prerequisites to pursue more specialized ICT skills. The CCNA 7.0 curriculum provides an integrated and
comprehensive coverage of networking topics including: IP routing and switching fundamentals, network security and services, and
network programmability and automation, while providing learners extensive opportunities for hands-on practical experience and career
skills development.
The curriculum is appropriate for learners at many education levels and types of institutions, including high schools, secondary schools,
universities, colleges, career and technical schools, and community centers.
Prerequisites:-
There are no prerequisites for this offering. Learners are expected to have the following skills:- High school reading level
- Basic computer literacy
- Basic computer literacy
- Basic internet usage skills
Description:-
Cisco Networking Academy™ participants develop workforce readiness skills and build a foundation for success in
networking-related careers and degree programs. With the support of video and rich interactive media, participants learn, apply and
practice CCNA knowledge and skills through a series of in-depth hands-on experiences and simulated activities that reinforce their
learning. Upon completion of this offering, learners will be prepared to take the Cisco CCNA certification exam.
CCNA 7.0 teaches comprehensive networking concepts and skills, from network applications to the protocols and services provided to
those applications. Learners will progress from basic networking to more complex enterprise and theoretical networking models later in
the curriculum
- There are three courses that make up theCCNA 7.0 curriculum.
- The three courses align to and cover the competencies outlined for the CCNA Certification Exam (200-301).
- Modules emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and the practical application of skills.
- Modules emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and the practical application of skills.
- The language used to describe networking concepts is designed to be easily understood by learners at all levels and embedded interactive activities help reinforce comprehension.
- Assessments and practice activities are focused on specific competencies to increase retention and provide flexibility in the learning path.
- Cisco Packet Tracer activities are designed for use with the latest version of Packet Tracer
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.
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. 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
CCNA curriculum describes the
architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise networks. This course
covers wide area network (WAN) technologies and quality of service (QoS) mechanisms used for secure remote access along with the
introduction of software-defined networking, virtualization, and automation concepts that support the digitalization of networks. Students
gain skills to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks, and learn to identify and protect against cybersecurity threats. They are
introduced to network management tools and learn key concepts of software-defined networking, including controller-based
architectures and how application programming interfaces (APIs) enable network automation.
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.
Below is a summary list of the modules currently planned in each of the three courses. A detailed list, including a description of each
topic contained within each module can be found in the curriculum outline section of this document
