• •

• •

Offers a hands-on, career-oriented approach to learning networking that emphasizes practical experience Maps more directly to everyday experiences with networks and covers key networking concepts according to the types of practical network environments students may encounter; ranging from small office or home office (SOHO) networking to more complex enterprise environments and theoretical networking models later in the curriculum Includes activities that emphasize networking implementation Teaches applied skills midway through the four course series to help make the course content relevant, encourage students to consider additional education in IT or related fields, and help students prepare for entry-level IT careers

Target Audience: CCNA Discovery is primarily designed for students within the Cisco Networking Academy® Program who are looking for career-oriented, IT-skills instruction or a quick path to job entry and career exploration. Prerequisites: The CCNA Discovery curriculum is composed of four courses: Networking for Home and Small Businesses, Working at a Small-to-Medium Business or ISP, Introducing Routing and Switching in the Enterprise, and Designing and Supporting Computer Networks. Networking for Home and Small Businesses is the first course and has no prerequisites. It is a prerequisite for the other three courses. The courses should be taken sequentially. Target Certifications: The CCNA Discovery curriculum prepares students for two different Cisco certification exams, CCENT® or CCNA®. After completing the Networking for Home and Small Businesses and Working at a Small-toMedium Business or ISP courses, a student can choose to complete the CCENT® certification (Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician) certification exam. CCENT certifies that students have developed the practical skills required for entry-level networking support positions. In addition, this certification is designed to assess a student’s aptitude and competence for working with Cisco routers, switches and Cisco IOS™. CCENT is an optional first step toward earning the Cisco CCNA® network associate certification, which is the foundational certification for networking careers. Students who complete all four CCNA Discovery courses will be prepared for the industry-standard CCNA certification exam.
