- So you wanna be a CCNA.
Or maybe you just want to earn your first certification
as a Network Engineer.
Either way, Cisco has a test for you.
Their certifications are well-respected.
So having one or more on your resume
will really give you an edge.
The first test you will need to pass
on the way to become a CCNA is ICND1,
or Interconnecting Network Devices 1.
And I'll be covering the topics of ICND1 in this course.
Once you've passed this exam,
you will be a Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician,
or CCENT.
If you want to continue on
and achieve your CCNA Routing and Switching Certification,
you'll also need to pass ICND2.
Our course on ICND2 is there
to help you ace that exam as well.
You'll have to pass ICND1 first though,
so let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The format of both exams consist of multiple choice,
drag and drop, and lab simulations.
Throughout this course, I'll call out exam objectives
that are critical knowledge for passing the exam.
