Career Options and Progression

On successful completion of CCNA 3 the student can then embark upon CCNA 4. The combination of
CCNA 1 and 2 are CISCO's minimum requirement to enable a student to branch out into other areas
such as security, Voice Over IP and wireless technologies.

To obtain full CCNA certification students will need to complete CCNA 4 which will provide the full CCNA
syllabus. This then provides an excellent pathway either into full time employment or as an access to our
Higher Education courses in Networking Engineering (Security Administration) or Networking Engineering
(Cyber Security).

Modules and Assessment

Assessments are a combination of online based exams, with resources available for you to check your
own progress, and Cisco certified practical tasks which are completed in our specialised computer network
labs.

Teaching and Learning Methods

You will be expected to attend a one hour introduction enrolment session where you will be introduced to
the software and structure and provided with some revision material.

For home study, you can read each chapter and then measure your own progress using the end of

final exam, you can attempt a sample final exam at home

We will closely monitor your progress and then provide 4 two hour sessions to explore theories in more
depth whilst demonstrating the practical elements of the course. You will then complete further home
study before attending another 3 hour training session prior to completing any exams
