Cisco CCNA Academy Course : 
Online Blended course (classroom lectures, online material and assessment) over 24 weeks. Our next course is scheduled to begin September 2018.

 

This course prepares participants for the cisco CCNAv3 exam (200-125 CCNA) or the two exams ICND1 and 2 (100-105 and 200-105). Classes are held once a week in the evening over a 24 week period.

Students of this course will receive access to the Cisco Networking Academy via TU Dublin-Tallaght Campus, providing online courseware and assessments.  Students also have access to the cisco hardware labs at our Tallaght Campus. 

When students complete and pass their online assessments and hardware laboratory exams, they will be entitled to a certificate from the cisco academy, stating that they have completed and passed the CCNA course under TUD-Tallaght Campus supervision. Separately the student can arrange to sit the official Cisco exam.

 

Classes	24 Weekly classroom sessions In total there are four modules, each with a supervised end of module assessment. There is also a practical hardware lab exam at the end of each module. Students must pass all of these exams to receive their certification from the cisco academy. Classroom The classroom time includes lectures to cover the more difficult course material,  packet tracer labs to enhance the theory, cisco hardware practice labs to prepare students for the hardware exam, online end of module supervised assessments (four x 1.5 hour exams), end of module supervised hardware labs (four x 2 hours) and Mock CCNA exam. Online Students will receive access to the cisco academy on-line material which they will progress through at home. Online lessons include integrated assessment material.
