Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

Pick a CCNA boot camp to rapidly educate your employees CCNA boot camps can run from a single week to several weeks in length. Each component of the CCNA certification training may take place over several days. These camps have a high upfront cost but promise immediate results. They pack all the necessary CCNA information into a few short days.

I recommend:  Check out the 14-day intensive CCNA boot camp from Unitek to get the fastest CCNA certification training possible. Consider the one-week course from K Alliance (formerly CBT Planet) that includes four months of access to their online CCNA resources.

Get information about CCNA training that's video- or computer-based for maximum versatility If you can't afford to be without your network personnel for a week or two weeks at a time, video-based or computer-based training may be a better option for your company.

I recommend:  Provide CCNA certification training for your organization with the all-access live training package from CDI Communications, Inc. If you prefer the video route, check out the packages offered by Train Signal.

Offer your personnel traditional educational programs to get their CCNA for maximum versatility If you already offer your employees a tuition reimbursement plan, consider making CCNA certification a part of your employee's benefit package. Many colleges and universities offer degrees with CCNA certification as a component.

I recommend:  Get your people into the University of Phoenix Associate of Arts program in Information Technology/Networking to earn the CCNA along the path to a degree. Find other courses via the Cisco Global Learning Partner Locator.
