Based on Cisco's ICND1 and ICND2 courses, the CCNA Boot Camp is an intensive program, designed to help you achieve your CCNA certification in the shortest period of time possible.
Classroom Instruction includes intensive instructor-led training and hands-on labs where you'll learn to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks. You'll also learn the basics of wireless networking as well as mitigating security threats.
To maximize your classroom experience and ensure that you get comprehensive coverage of the CCNA materials our approach to the CCNA Boot Camp consists of Pre-Class Activity and Classroom Instruction.
Achieving CCNA certification benefits both you and your employer because of the close relationship between CCNA program goals and the fundamental job skills necessary to work in network support.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT COMPUTER DATA'S CCNA CLASSES:
"I have taken similar classes before, and not really gotten anything out of them. I had talked to other students who had great things to say about the (Computer Data) course. It by far is the best Cisco training and prep course I have been to. "
"Hi Paul,
Remember me? I just took your CCNA class (I sat next to Greg). Well….I promised to tell you and here it is: I passed the CCNA with a 936 out of 1000."
"I was impressed with your teaching efforts and taking your class definitely paid off for me. I learned a lot during those 5 days and I contribute that to my success in passing the CCNA."
Prerequisites
- Prior to attending CCNA, you should be very familiar with networking topics such as TCP/IP, IP configuration, peer-to-peer networking, subnetting, building a routing table, and other network protocols, standards, and architecture. If you're new to networking and to Cisco IOS, consider taking the ICND1 and ICND2 classes.
