CCNA

To achieve a CCNA certification, candidates must achieve a passing score on a proctored Cisco exam No. 200-301. After completion of the exam, candidates receive a score report along with a score breakdown by exam section and the score for the given exam. The exam tests a candidate's knowledge and skills required to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium size enterprise branch network devices. The exam covers a broad range of fundamentals, including network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, automation, and programmability. ==Prerequisites==

There are no prerequisites to take the CCNA certification exam. However, if the learning curve is too steep, another starting point of Cisco networking qualifications is the CCST (Cisco Certified Support Technician) in Networking, IT Support, or Cybersecurity. ==Expiry==

The CCNA Certification expires after three years. Renewal requires certification holders to register for and pass the same or higher level Cisco re-certification exam(s) every three years. ==See also==
