CCNA - Routing and Switching

The CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is meant for engineers looking to get foothold in
networking. This forms the base of the Cisco training pyramid and offers different specializations for
network engineers. The basic CCNA course is CCNA Routing and Switching. We also offer the CCNA
Security which require the CCNA Routing and Switching as a prerequisite.

The CCNA course is taught by world class instructors in state of the art classrooms with labs equipped
with cutting edge infrastructure, including high end routers, switches and servers. The course is taught
in hands on manner so that students can get an actual feel of the nitty gritty of networking.
