The new CCNA?

I registered through one institution, but assessment were taken on Netacad, it's called CCNA1 version 7.. it's from CCNA to CCNA4.. however this certification is very confusing to me as the one I saw from other countries is CCNA 200-301.... please would you leave me with any contact? I would love to contact you privately.. thanks!

Hello... currently in the same situation now, I'm taking classes on CCNA1 through an instituition, I was told a certificate would be given after, however I learnt that for us to take ccna cert exam one would have to take ccna2 classes too. I'm kind of confused what's the difference between the main ccna certification and the one given after taking ccna1

Yooku:


After graduating from Univ in June, I went straight into intensive self study and preparation for the CCNA certificate and passed the exam in October. Prior to this I had interviewed with an ISP to do my national service with them and told them I was on preps for the CCNA so they were very interested in taking me on. By the time I started national service in December, having the CCNA under my belt put me at a skill level which was higher than some of the engineers already in the company. I guess although I didn't have any job experience the skill set and drive to learn made them take me on and eventually offer me a full time role in the company after national service had come to an end. So I guess I had no experience, but I was highly skilled. That's one way to get your foot in the door. Get the certification to demonstrate that in terms of knowledge you are there. You do not need much training and you can hit the ground running once you are given the chance to come on board..

Impressive, was to register for CCNA this year but have to push it forward.
Until this covid, i i applied to UNICEM for IT in their company and was assigned to network administrator, all i learnt there in just 3 weeks i wouldn't have known if i had gone where the school chose.
At least when we resume and I'm done with IT I'll have that experience on my Resume with a CCNA by time i graduate

bases on my observations they just split the courses into factions and it's not like this in other countries because I meet people from India and it's different..

You still interested in networking let me know

sir pls I am interested

ebixy:
I have interest in computer networking, but every time i visit the programming or computer section of Nairaland all i see is PROGRAMMERS.

I think computer networking needs a section of its own, where experts can help newbies like me on Cisco certifications and other ICT certifications. I'm sure we have even CCIEs on nairaland

What do you people think?

Maintaining a CISCO certificate is hard and financially tough...

Get certified on your 1st attempt

what you're taking is the academy course of CCNA. The current version is version 7. When you're done, based on your pass pack for the CCNA4,(academy exam on netacad) you'd be given a maximum of 61% voucher to write the main CCNA 200-300 which is the real Cisco CCNA certification. That one cost $300.

So what you're taking is academy courses. The exams not the real certification.

CCNA is the same thing globally. Navigate to the last part of your netacad dashboard, and you'd see the criteria to get a discount to write the main CCNA 200-300 exam. It cost $300.

That splitting is just an academy prep exam. My colleague wrote the last CCNA4 netacad exam, and he got 71%. Cisco gave him 41% discount to write the main CCNA 200-300
