Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT™)
The CCENT is the first exam in the 2 part certification process to obtain CCNA certification. There are 2 courses must be taken in sequence to prepare to sit for the Cisco CCENT certification exam.
Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT™) certification validates the ability to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security. With a CCENT, a network professional demonstrates the skills required for entry-level network support positions - the starting point for many successful careers in networking.
Once the CCENT has been completed, a second exam can be taken to complete the CCNA certification. Many students find it easier to focus on a smaller amount of material for each exam. There are 2 additional course that will prepare students for the second (ICND2) exam. Both tests must be passed to acquire the CCNA certification.
Students have 2 options - 1) enroll in the Open Entry* class (NCVOC 11). The Open Entry course allows students to have more schedule flexibility and to work at their own pace. Lectures are planned over the 16 week semester. OR 2) enroll in NCVOC 66 late in the semester to complete the first course meeting on Monday and Wednesday evenings. This course moves at a faster pace.
(This course moves at a faster pace and will require some additional lab work outside of the NCVOC66 class to move into the next class.)
*Open Entry refers to the ability to register late for the class (not just the first week of the semester).
