Recommended preparation for exam(s):

  • 100-105 – ICND1 Introduction to Cisco Network Devices Part 1 OR
  • 200-125 – CCNA – This is a composite exam consisting of both ICND1 & ICND2

Note: Passing the ICND1 exam (100-105) results in the award of the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT) certification. Students taking the composite exam will only be awarded the CCNA Routing and Switching Certification , they will not be awarded the CCENT certification.

Follow on Courses

The following courses are recommended for further study:

  • ICND2 – Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2- Required to gain CCNA Routing and Switching Certification
  • IINS – Implementing Cisco Network Security- Required to gain CCNA Security Certification.
  • WIFUND – Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals- Required to gain CCNA Wireless Certification.
  • IMINS2 – Managing Industrial Networks for Manufacturing with Cisco Technologies – Required to gain CCNA Industrial Certification
  • DESGN – Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions – Required to gain CCDA Certification

Further Information

Recertification

CCENT certifications are valid for three years. To recertify, pass either the ICND1 or ICND2 exam, or pass the current CCNA Routing and Switching exam, or pass a CCNA Concentration exam (wireless, security, voice), or pass any 642-XXX professional level or Cisco Specialist exam (excluding Sales Specialist exams), or pass a current CCIE or CCDE written exam.
