Details About CCNA Certification

1. What is the CCNA Certification?
  • A CCNA certification validates the skill, ability
    and expertise of an individual to fix, configure
    and troubleshoot networks.
  • CCNA is the basic course that lays the foundation
    for Network Engineers, and once the basics are in
    place, after doing the CCNA, even other vendors
    consider it reputed, like Juniper, HP and Dell,
    to name few.

  • Currently, there are certifications within the
    CCNA focusing on such areas as
  • Security
  • Routing and Switching
  • Service providers
  • Data centers
  • Video
  • Voice
  • Collaboration
  • Wireless

2. What Is The Accreditation Body For The CCNA
Certification?
  • A certification is only as good as the
    accreditation behind it, lending it credibility,
    and CCNA has among the best organizations in the
    businesses backing it.
  • A world leader in networking, Ciscos business
    operates with the aim of transforming how people
    communicate and collaborate, manufacturing the
    vast majority of IT communication equipment in
    use, today.
  • The CCNA certification is thus globally-recognized
    and well respected.

3. Who Is Eligible For The CCNA?
  • Interestingly, there are no formal requirements
    for a person to meet to be eligible to take the
    CCNA exams.
  • CCNA certifications thus are a very attractive
    option for a fresh graduate to pursue, since
    companies also hire Network Engineers who are
    CCNA certified, irrespective of level of
    experience.

4. How To Get Certified
  • In order to get certified, a person must pass
    specific exams related to the CCNA certification.
    They can obtain the passing grades on either
  • ICDN1 (100-101) or the ICDN2 (200-101) Exams
  • Combined CCNA (200-120) Exam
  • Registration for these exams can be done through
    Cisco directly or with the help of a qualified
    CCNA training partner like CETPA INFOTECH PVT.
    LTD.

5. Getting The Right Training For The
Certification
  • Attempting to take the exam, regardless of level
    of experience, with no prior training would be
    ill-advised. Aspirants who undergo certified
    training with experienced training providers such
    as CETPA stand a better chance of clearing the
    exam first time out.CETPAs CCNA training in
    Noida offers high quality content with 24 hours
    trainer support.

6. Is Training Enough, Or Is Post-Training
Preparation Necessary?
  • Although training sheds light on what is expected
    of the candidate in preparation for a particular
    exam, it cannot possibly cover all topics that
    may be asked on the exam.
  • A candidate should therefore work on enhancing
    their knowledge on the outlined topics listed
    above to ensure all areas of CCNA are covered
    through self-study.

7. Exam Structure
  • CCNA exam is a little different from the one
    before, and is usually delivered in one of the
    following formats
  • ICDN1 This exam consists of between 40 to 50
    questions and a person has 90 minutes to complete
    it
  • ICDN2 This exam consists of 40 to 50 questions
    with a time limit of between 75 and 90 minutes
  • Combined CCNA This exam consists of 45 to 55
    questions and has a 90 minute time limit
  • The tests are designed to assess the individuals
    ability when it comes to installing, configuring,
    and troubleshooting network systems. The
    certification is valid for 3 years once the exams
    have been passed with a score of 80 or above.

8. What if one fails to pass the exam in one go?
  • Like any other certification exams, not everyone
    will pass on their first try.
  • Statistics show that it takes people an average
    of 3 times to pass the test.
  • There are no limits on the number of times that a
    person can take the test. Hence, it is important
    to practice with a good partner like CETPA.
  • The other thing to consider is the cost of taking
    the test. At nearly 300 per test, retaking it
    multiple times can be a problem for some.

9. How does the CCNA Certification Help Career
Growth?
  • The CCNA certification is among the most
    respected certifications in the industry.
  • It can open up new opportunities for higher
    positions and more money.
  • As per statistics, the average salary hike upon
    obtaining a CCNA certification is about 20.

10. Post Examination Requirement
  • Once a person has obtained the CCNA
    certification, they need to ensure that they put
    the acquired skill to test in day-to-day
    activities.
  • Being recognized as a part of the Cisco certified
    Network is something that a person should be
    proud of. Seeking out other like professionals
    and networking is also a good way to continue
    learning about Cisco Network systems.As the
    technology involved changes rapidly, networking
    with other IT professionals can help a person
    stay up to date as they work to maintain their
    certification standard and prepare for their next
    steps that could include other associate level
    certifications from Cisco.
