Cisco has simplified their certification process. The certification program introduced February 24, 2020 includes Associate, Specialist, Professional and Expert level credentials. The associate-level CCNA certification requires passing a single exam (200-301). At the professional level, candidates can earn CCNP certification by passing two exams—the core exam + one concentration exam.
Passing proctored exams at the professional and expert levels now earns Cisco Certified Specialist certifications so you get recognized every step of the way.
NOTE: Below is based on ONLC's course offerings. Additional courses and certifications may be available.
Achieving CCNA certification is the first step in preparing for a career in IT technologies. To earn CCNA certification, you pass one (1) exam that covers a broad range of fundamentals for IT careers based on the latest networking technologies, software development skills, and job roles.
CCNA (200-301) is an approved DoD 8570 baseline certification having replaced the former CCNA Security.
The skills and knowledge you gain becoming a CCNA prepare you for associate-level job roles in IT technologies. CCNA now includes security and automation and programmability. Master the essentials needed to launch a rewarding career and expand your job possibilities with these latest technologies.
This CCNA replaces CCNA Cloud, CCNA Collaboration, CCNA Data Center, CCNA Industrial, CCDA, CCNA Routing and Switching, CCNA Security, CCNA Service Provider and CCNA Wireless.
