Cisco
Certified Network Associate(CCNA)
Part 1 l5wks, 6hrs/wk
OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this module is to provide an introduction to the fundamentals
of computer network design and to develop the skills necessary for designing
and maintaining simple routed LAN networks. It also prepares students, in part,
for
the CCNA certification exam.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- Understands
the concepts of layered architecture, the OSI reference model and
th role of networking standards
- Understands
the various LAN technologies currently employed · Design basic IP networks and subnetting
- Design,
implement and basic LAN topologies for a variety of network environments · Distinguish between link state and distance vector based routing protocols
- Understands
the operation of TCP/IP protocol suite , · Perform basic IP configuration on commercial routers.
- Carry
out basic LAN testing and trouble shooting · Introduce the concepts of Network Management

This will require internet access from home/work etc
ASSESSMENT
To obtain Cisco Networking Academy Certification, all on-line tests must be completed with a minimum pass mark of 40%, and, successfully complete the semester one and two skills based tests.
Those who achieve a pass mark of > 70% in the end of semester final exams, will be eligible for a 40% discount voucher for the INTRO 640-821 exam or can continue with the CCNA3 and CCNA4 course to take the full CCNA exam with a discount.
Achieving a pass mark of 80% in these assessments prepares students, in part, for the CCNA certification exam.
(This method of study is undergoing constant review and is likely to change including
cost
of the courses)
