CCNA Certification Training

Course Overview

Our Training program will follow the sequence of CCNA Certification Syllabus. However, practice lab for each section will be covering more than the labs offered in the syllabus so that you get comprehensive knowledge and hands-on variety of labs.

Resources

We will be using different resources and techniques to get the complete  configuring, defending and attacking using Simulated lab by Defhawk and freely available resources to get both theoretical and practical hands on experience etc.

Training Completion Certificate Attendees will also get a course completion certificate after completing Learning Objectives covered during the course.
