Course overview
This course bundle is ideal for anyone looking to establish their Cisco networking career. It consists of one Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification, one Cisco Certified DevNet Associate (CCDA) certification, and four Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) certifications. Although there are no formal prerequisites to enrol on the CCNA, CCDA, or CCNP certification courses and sit the exams, learners should have good foundation knowledge in networking. The newly retooled CCNA covers a breadth of topics, including:
- Network fundamentals
- Network access
- IP connectivity
- IP services
- Security fundamentals
- Automation and programmability
Learn why now is a great time to get Cisco certified.
Achieving CCNA certification is the first step in preparing for a career in networking technologies. To earn your CCNA certification, you only need to pass one exam – which covers a broad range of fundamentals for IT careers, based on the latest networking technologies.
The Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification validates your skills and knowledge in understanding and using APIs, Cisco platforms and development, application development and security, and infrastructure and automation. Ideally, DevNet Associates candidates also have one or more years of experience with software development including Python programming.
The CCNP is the next level from the CCNA and CCDA. As with the CCNA, there are no formal prerequisites to enrol on the CCNP certification course and sit for the exams. Learners taking a CCNP course generally have an in-depth knowledge of networking, as well as a good understanding of Cisco technologies. The typical certification path for most learners would begin with either the CCDA or CCNA, then progress onto the CCNP.
Learners need to pass two exams (one core exam and one concentration exam) in order to gain one CCNP certification. This course bundle includes the core exam and three concentration exams. Once a learner has passed the core exam, they can choose to specialise in one or all three of the CCNP concentration areas listed in this course. The core exam’s focus is based on implementing and operating Cisco enterprise network core technologies.
Upon completion of this course and meeting Acclaim’s requirements, you’ll receive three Cisco ‘Acclaim’ badges that you can add to your CV or social media profile for prospective employers to see. You’ll also receive one official Cisco CCNA certification, one official CCDA certification, and four CCNP certifications. Click on one of the badges to learn more about it.

Delivery
All courses are online and self-paced, meaning you do it in your own home, in your own time, at your own pace and best of all… anywhere in the world, providing you have access to a laptop, PC or desktop computer, and an internet connection. Each lesson is pre-recorded allowing you to pause, fast-forward, skip sections, or go back to another lesson if you need to. The lessons are multi-media based, which means video and audio are used to teach the lessons. Your tutor will use PowerPoint slides, illustrations, diagrams and give demonstrations to teach each class. Most lessons are also interactive, prompting the learner to participate. This might involve answering on-screen questions, participating in tasks.
