Before you start
Cisco sets no formal prerequisites for the CCNA. A basic grasp of how computers connect to a network will help, and so will hands-on time with routers and switches, either real kit or a simulator, as you go through the labs.
This is a long course, so set a steady study plan. Work through one area at a time, repeat each configuration yourself, and use the 299 test questions to find weak spots before you book your exam. Subnetting and routing come up again and again, so practise them until they feel easy.
About the 200-301 exam
The 200-301 exam leads to the CCNA, Cisco’s associate-level networking certification. It checks that you can install, set up, run and troubleshoot Cisco networks. Cisco tests six areas: network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, and automation and programmability. This course follows those same six areas, so your study lines up with what Cisco expects.
The CCNA is often the first Cisco certification people earn. It gives a strong base for more advanced Cisco paths, such as the CCNP Enterprise track, and for related fields such as network security.
