Requirements
To successfully complete this course and prepare for the exam, you will need:
Technical Requirements:
A computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux) with a stable internet connection.
A modern web browser and the ability to install Cisco Packet Tracer (free).
Course-Specific Requirements:
Dedication to complete all video lectures, reading assignments, and hands-on labs.
Active participation in lab exercises is critical for success.
We recommend a study commitment of 7-10 hours per week for 10-12 weeks to thoroughly master the material.
Prerequisites
The CCNA is an associate-level certification designed to be accessible to dedicated learners.
Mandatory Prerequisites:
There are no formal prerequisites set by Cisco for taking the CCNA exam.
Recommended Knowledge/Skills:
Basic computer literacy and familiarity with using a command-line interface (CLI) is helpful.
