Author How long for Cisco

2001-02-15, 2:57 pm

I want to know how long should a CCNA class take. I am already A+ and N+ certified. I have done some self-sudy. The schools that I have contacted have classes that last only 2 weeks someone told me it takes longer than that just to understand TC/IP fully. Please help. How long should a good course take.

Most classes in training schools, like New Horizons and others, last about a week. Even the technical classes like you would take for the Cisco certs or the Microsoft certs.

The thing is you have to have a good basic understanding of some things before you take a technical class or try for a cert like your CCNA. For the CCNA, you really need a good understanding of TCP/IP and the OSI model, among other things.

If you don't have a basic understanding of both of those things before you take a class to prepare you for the CCNA, you will start out behind and may have difficulty understanding the material.

Before you take a CCNA prep class, you might want to do some self-study in TCP/IP and networking or take a class in them. The old MCSE track even had classes in TCP/IP and Networking Essentials.

The classes only last a week because they assume you have that basic understanding and they're just building on it to help you prepare for the cert.

Let me know how it goes. I'm going through boot camp on March 5th through 9th. I'll take my test on the 9th. I've been studying for about 3 months now before boot camp.
