CCNA Discovery
The Cisco® CCNA® Discovery curriculum provides the experience needed to help meet the growing demand for ICT professionals. The courses help prepare students for entry-level career opportunities and globally recognized Cisco certifications. CCNA Discovery teaches networking based on application, covering networking concepts within the context of network environments students may encounter in their daily lives – from small office and home office (SOHO) networking
to more complex enterprise and theoretical networking models later in the curriculum.
Course Description
CCNA Discovery provides general networking theory and the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies using a spiral approach, where concepts are presented in the context of the types of practical networks students may encounter; from home and small offices, to more complex enterprise models. The curriculum helps students prepare for the industry-standard CCNA certification exam. The first two courses of CCNA Discovery also prepare students for the Cisco CCENT™ certification for entry network technicians, an optional first step toward earning the CCNA certification. CCNA Discovery can be delivered as an independent curriculum or integrated into a broader course of study, such as technology or continuing education programs. The curriculum consists of four courses delivered sequentially.
Each course includes a troubleshooting chapter and advanced technologies (voice, video, wireless, and security) are introduced throughout the curriculum.
Networking for Home and Small Businesses
Uses a SOHO network to introduce some basic networking concepts such as cabling, addressing, wireless, and security, and teaches students how to plan, deploy, and troubleshoot a small network.
Working at a Small-to-Medium Business or ISP and Introducing Routing and Switching in the Enterprise.
The second and third courses use small and medium business and enterprise sized networks to take concepts such as IP addressing, switching, routing, WAN technologies,
and security to the next level. As the complexity and size of the network grows, associated concepts such as advanced routing protocols, enterprise switching, and network performance are introduced.
Designing and Supporting Computer Networks
Consolidates many of the concepts and introduces elements of network design, equipment selection and configuration, and LAN and WAN addressing. An integrated case study presents critical thinking scenarios to help students develop skills such as analyzing business objectives, determining technical requirements and constraints, planning timelines and resources, and preparing and delivering customer presentations.
Industry Recognized Certification
After completing the first two courses of CCNA Discovery, a student can choose to complete the CCENT certification exam, an optional first step toward earning the CCNA certification. CCENT certifies that students have developed the practical skills required for entry-level networking support positions. In addition, this certification is designed to assess a student’s aptitude and competence for working with Cisco routers, switches and IOS. Students who complete all four CCNA Discovery courses will be prepared for the CCNA certification exam.

CCNA Security
This course provides a next step for individuals who want to enhance their CCNA-level skill set and help meet the growing demand for network security professionals. The curriculum provides an introduction to the core security concepts and skills needed for the installation, troubleshooting, and monitoring of network devices to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and devices. CCNA Security is a hands-on, career-oriented e-learning solution with an emphasis on practical experience to help students develop specialized security skills, along with critical thinking and complex problem solving skills. The curriculum helps prepare students for entry-level security career opportunities and the globally recognized Cisco CCNA Security certification, which helps students differentiate themselves in the marketplace with specialist skills to advance their careers.
Features
CCNA Security provides an in-depth, theoretical, and hands-on introduction to network security, in a logical sequence driven by technologies. CCNA Security includes the following features:
- Students develop an in-depth, theoretical understanding of network security principles as well as the tools and configurations available.
- The courses emphasize the practical application of skills needed to design, implement, and support network security.
- Hands-on labs help students develop critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills.
- Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities promote the exploration of networking security concepts and allow students to experiment with network behavior and ask “what if” questions.
- Innovative assessments provide immediate feedback to support the evaluation of knowledge and acquired skills.
Who Should Enroll
- College and university level students seeking career-oriented, entry-level security specialist skills.
- IT professionals wishing to broaden or add specialized skills to their technology expertise.
- Current CCNA certification holders who wish to build on their CCNA knowledge base.
Prerequisites
- CCNA-level networking concepts and skills
- Basic PC and Internet navigation skills
