A closer look

CCNA

Study focus
Develop practical networking skills in routing, switching, IP connectivity and network services.
Where you'd use it
Useful in network support when you need to trace why a device cannot reach a service and separate a switching problem from a routing problem.
Our preparation advice
Practise subnetting and build a small routed lab. Learn to explain each hop rather than copying commands until the ping works.
