Introduction to Networks
CCNA 1: Introduction to networks is a first stage out of four to pursue for the preparation for Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam.
CCNA1 introduces to students basic concepts in networking technologies and helps to develop skills needed for designing and implementing small networks.
Course options
Module CCNA1 is momentarily available only as a part of ICND1 package or in Composite module.
