AUGUST SESSION 1 DATES
17th - 21st
Build practical networking skills through hands-on labs covering routing, switching, IP services, wireless networking, security fundamentals, and enterprise infrastructure aligned to the Cisco CCNA certification.
The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification validates your ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-scale routed and switched networks.
This bootcamp compresses months of study into a focused five-day program with live expert instruction and hands-on labs. You’ll build practical networking skills across routing, switching, IP services, network security, wireless concepts, and automation fundamentals.
All bootcamp programs include unlimited certification exam attempts. Students may retake the CCNA exam as many times as necessary until they pass, giving you every opportunity to succeed without added financial pressure.
This bootcamp is best for:
IT professionals moving into networking roles.
Individuals interested in Cisco technologies and infrastructure.
Help desk technicians expanding into network administration.
Cybersecurity professionals looking to strengthen their networking foundation.
Important: This bootcamp is best suited for individuals looking to build or formalize networking skills at a foundational-to-intermediate level. Basic familiarity with computers and IT concepts is helpful.
The Cisco CCNA bootcamp is delivered as an intensive 5-day program with live, instructor-led online sessions. Each day focuses on core networking concepts, Cisco configuration skills, guided labs, and exam-aligned practice.
This 5-day bootcamp runs Monday through Friday with live instruction focused on routing, switching, IP services, security fundamentals, and Cisco networking labs.
Bootcamps are offered throughout the year with multiple start dates.
