The CCNA 7.0 curriculum provides an integrated and comprehensive coverage of networking topics including IP routing and switching fundamentals, network security and network programmability, while providing extensive opportunities for hands-on practical experience and career skills development.

Course Description

The curriculum consists of three courses, each containing approximately 70 hours of course work:

 

• CCNAv7: Introduction to Networks (ITN): introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications and data through the Internet and across modern computer networks - including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals. By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LAN) that integrate IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and perform basic configurations for routers and switches.

 

• CCNAv7: Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials (SRWE): focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts. Students learn key switching and routing concepts, and perform basic network configuration, troubleshooting and mitigation of LAN security threats.

 

•            CCNAv7: Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA): describes the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise networks. This course covers wide area network (WAN) technologies and quality of service (QoS) mechanisms used for secure remote access along with the introduction of software-defined networking, virtualization, and automation concepts that support the digitalization of networks. Students gain skills to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks, and learn to identify and protect against cybersecurity threats
