For IT leaders
What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course
This CCNA v1.1 training helps IT leaders build a reliable baseline of Cisco networking skills across junior network admins, network technicians, and experienced admins who need to validate or refresh their Cisco knowledge. It prepares learners for the 200-301 CCNA v1.1 exam while reinforcing the day-to-day skills teams need to support modern networks: IP connectivity, switching, static routing and OSPF-focused routing concepts aligned to the current CCNA blueprint, network fundamentals, security basics, cloud, automation, and introductory AI-in-networking topics reflected in the v1.1 update.
For Training Managers and Team Leads, CCNA training is useful when standardizing skills across a growing network team, onboarding early-career admins, or reducing risk from inconsistent troubleshooting practices. The course gives learners a structured path through Cisco network concepts and hands-on administration topics, helping teams build confidence before they’re responsible for production changes.
Because CCNA is associate-level training, it’s a practical fit for new IT professionals with about a year of networking experience, junior network administrators moving into Cisco environments, and experienced admins who need certification alignment. Teams can use it as part of a broader change management plan when adopting Cisco technologies, modernizing network operations, or preparing staff for more automation-driven network responsibilities.
