Knowledge United

Overview:
Based on our Cisco ICND1 and ICND2 courses, our CCNA Boot Camp is an intensive program, designed to help you achieve your CCNA certification in the shortest period of time possible. To maximize your classroom experience and ensure that you get comprehensive coverage of the CCNA materials, our three-step, blended learning approach to the CCNA Boot Camp consists of:

1) Pre-Class Activity
2) Classroom Instruction
3) Post-Class Lab Practice

The Pre-Class Activity provides you with approximately ten hours of review materials and exercises, including a pre-test assessment, Self-Paced e-Learning content, and a readiness test, all designed to give you a firm foundation and get you focused and prepared to get the most out of Classroom Instruction.

Classroom Instruction includes intensive instructor-led training and hands-on labs where you'll learn to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks. You'll also learn the basics of wireless networking as well as mitigating security threats. During Classroom Instruction, you'll have 24-hour lab access.

Following Classroom Instruction, ten e-Lab credits for Post-Class Lab Practice allow you to hone your skills using the same hands-on lab equipment you used in the classroom.

We have delivered an Authorized CCNA Boot Camp longer than any other Cisco Partner, and every student is eligible for our guarantee, the best available, to make sure you achieve your goals.

Boot Camp Hours

Class begins each day at 8:00 AM and runs at least ten hours, sometimes late into the evening.
Note: Students should expect class to run late into the evening on most days. In a typical Boot Camp, it is not uncommon for some students to remain past 8:00 PM depending upon the number and experience of the students.

Our Guarantee

Students who take the CCNA Boot Camp or CCNA v-Camp will be issued an exam voucher. Any student who fails the initial exam is eligible to receive a second exam voucher. The second exam voucher must be issued within one year of the first exam voucher issue date. If a student fails the exam a second time, he or she may take ICND2, the CCNA Boot Camp, or CCNA v-Camp free of charge, within 12 months of taking the initial course, on a space available basis, provided the student brings his or her own course materials.

To Receive Your Second Exam Voucher

Send us a copy of the results of your first test, and we'll e-mail you a new exam voucher.
Note: The second exam voucher will only be issued within one year of the first exam voucher issue date.

Individuals who possess a general networking background, have some experience with Cisco IOS, and are seeking CCNA certification should consider this class as the quickest way to meet the requirements of the CCNA exam.

Prerequisites

Prior to attending CCNA, you should be very familiar with networking topics such as TCP/IP, IP configuration, peer-to-peer networking, subnetting, building a routing table, and other network protocols, standards, and architecture. If you're new to networking and to Cisco IOS, consider taking the ICND1 and ICND2 classes. We strongly encourage career changers and people new to internetworking to gain the foundation knowledge needed by taking our CCENT e-Camp.
