Computer Networking (CCNA & Fundamentals)
The Computer Networking (CCNA & Fundamentals) course is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed to build foundational and advanced knowledge of computer networks. Beginning with basic concepts such as network topologies, devices, and the OSI model, the course gradually progresses into advanced topics like IP addressing, subnetting, switching, routing, and VLAN configurations. Whether you're new to networking or seeking a structured certification path, this course provides the essential building blocks needed to understand and manage modern network infrastructures.
Throughout the course, students will gain practical experience using Cisco routers and switches via simulators like Cisco Packet Tracer or GNS3. Real-world lab scenarios, CLI practice, and troubleshooting exercises are core to the learning process, ensuring students not only understand theoretical concepts but also know how to implement them in live environments. Emphasis is also placed on security practices, wireless technologies, WAN protocols, and the growing field of network automation—essential areas for anyone pursuing a future in IT or cybersecurity.
By the end of the program, learners will be fully prepared for the Cisco CCNA (200-301) certification exam, equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to design, implement, and secure small to medium-sized networks. The course also lays the groundwork for more advanced certifications and roles in network engineering, system administration, and cybersecurity. Whether you’re a student, job seeker, or working professional, this course is your gateway to a successful career in networking.
