CCNAX - CCNA Boot Camp v1.1

Our comprehensive CCNA exam preparation course combines five days of intensive hands-on classroom activity along with pre- and post-course activities to ensure your success on the CCNA certification exam.

Course Outline

Our comprehensive CCNA exam preparation course combines five days of intensive hands-on classroom activity along with pre- and post-course activities to ensure your success on the CCNA certification exam.

With our enhanced content, you will learn to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks, and you'll learn the basics of wireless networking and security.

Our sophisticated CCNA lab environment guarantees that you and your lab partner will use a full set of equipment, including two 2611XM Multiservice Routers running 12.4(5b) Advanced IP Services and a 2950 Catalyst Switch running 12.1(22) IOS CRYPTO Services, for the entire week. No other training provider in North America provides you with a dual router set up like ours.

Certification

CCNA Certification is the starting point for many Cisco certification paths, including CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, CCNA Wireless, and CCNP.

Why Global Knowledge?

We have delivered a Cisco Authorized CCNA Boot Camp longer than any other Cisco Learning Partner, and we've helped thousands of network technicians prepare for and pass the Cisco CCNA exam. To maximize your classroom experience and ensure that you get comprehensive coverage of the CCNA materials, our three-step, blended learning approach to the CCNA Boot Camp consists of:

Pre-Class Activity: Approximately ten hours of review materials and exercises - including a pre-test assessment, Self-Paced e-Learning content, and a readiness test - designed to give you a firm foundation and help you get the most out of your time in class.

Classroom Instruction and Hands-On Labs: Our instructor-led training goes above and beyond the standard Cisco courseware with enhanced content and 24-hour access to the hands-on labs. To ensure the most real-world experience possible during your time in class, each pod is connected to a dedicated core router set up to act as a Frame Relay switch, making each pod completely independent. Every router has multiple serial interfaces that can be configured for HDLC, PPP, or Frame Relay, along with a Fast Ethernet interface to support different combinations of forwarding paths. The switch is interconnected to the core through multiple interfaces and to the pod routers so you can practice configuring and testing the switch as needed for the exam.

Post-Class Lab Practice: Your CCNA Boot Camp package includes 10 e-Lab credits (good for 30 days) for further practice and both the ICND1 and ICND2 Self-Paced e-Learning CDs, so you can continue your studying any time, anywhere.

We have not received any reviews specific to this course as yet, however here are some reviews of the training vendor.

   

- do we get a certifiacate for completing the courseÉ - although the instructor did give us excercises to do I would have liked a few more - almost like a test, so that I made sure I retained and understood what was taught. I`m a learn to do by doing person and like the instrutor lead courses so I can have someone there to explain in my terms how things work. I`ll have to really use the online excercises to make sure Ì am confident when I need to do something in Excel.

Should be time allocated for questions and answer

The instructor was excellent as was the hands-on learning approach. The only thing I took issue with was the fact that there were a lot of bilingual persons taking the course and they tended to ask questions in French, during this English class. The instructor was trying very hard to explain everything in both languages, but I felt that these students should have requested a French-speaking classroom setting if they wanted to speak French.

For the cost of this course, a hard copy of the course handout should be provided as the classes follows the handout word for word.

The course was very relevant. I was able to apply the knowledge I aquired in the course to my job on the very next day. The only complaint I have is with the temperature of the room. It was freezing! Students has to wear a jacket or sweater. We were told the temp gage was shared with another classroom that was quite warm so they had turned the temp very low causing our room to be very uncomfortable.

Given the cost of the course, the hardcopy of the manual should have been provided. It would have been useful to make notes alongside the material as we went along.

Reviewed by Jeff P. 2011

   

I am very disappointed with the handouts. I was told I could go online and download a copy of the manual, the problem is that I would like the printed copy of the manual. I chatted online with one of your technitian who was unable to help me. Then I was told someone would contact me by phone to help me. That never happened. When taking a training course, a person EXPECTS to leave the course with ALL the material.
