Cisco Certified Network Associate- Accelerated (CCNA-ACC) is part of the recommended learning path for students seeking the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Cisco Certified Internetworking Professional (CCIP), Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP), and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE)

certifications.

Associated Certification:

CCNA, CCIP, CCNP, CCDP, and CCIE

Who should Attend

The target audiences for this course are as follows:

	Network Designer
	Network Administrator
	Network Engineer
	Network Manager
	Systems Engineer
	Sales Support Engineer
	Network technicians who are responsible for implementing and troubleshooting Cisco networks
	Cisco Channel Partner/Resellers
	CCIP, CCNP and CCDP candidates
	CCIE Routing and Switching candidates

Course Content

CCNA Accelerated combines both the Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO) course and the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) course into one five-day class. Because of the accelerated nature of the class, be prepared for long days and a heavy study load. Also, not all material in the student manuals for each course will be reviewed in class. Some material in the INTRO course will be reserved for self-study or discussed in the classroom

INTRO provides the fundamental knowledge prerequisite to successfully complete the ICND course. Together, the INTRO and ICND courses provide the preparation that Cisco recommends for the Cisco Certified Network Associate examination. CCNA Accelerated allows you to get that preparation in just one work week.

CCNA-ACC is recommended training for individuals seeking an understanding and knowledge of networking fundamentals, terminology and technologies as well as providing learners with the basic skills and knowledge to configure a Cisco IOS router for network connectivity.

Students will learn fundamental computer networking concepts and apply them as they configure a LAN/WAN network using Cisco routers and Catalyst switches. Through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, exercises, and laboratory projects, students are given information sufficient to identify and recommend the best Cisco solutions for anywhere from small to enterprise-sized businesses. CCNA-ACC provides the installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information that technical support people require to install, manage, and configure Cisco products.

The course contains 16 modules and numerous lab exercises. Hands-on lab exercises allow the learner to practice configuration and troubleshooting knowledge and to acquire the skills necessary to configure Cisco routers and switches in any sized network.
