“Ben is an excellent instructor, and this by far the best of several Cisco courses I have done over the years. Every subject was covered in sufficient depth, and explained in logical terms. Good mix of theory and practical, and well distributed throughout. The classroom set up works really well. Would recommend to other service leavers without hesitation.”
- Course Attendee

This course is perfect for anyone who already has some previous experience / knowledge in IT networking. It is a challenging course and will require a substantial amount of effort and dedication from service leavers if they are to achieve.

The CCNA is an ideal follow on course from the CompTIA Network+ and Security+ course, also delivered by the CTP. Exams are taken following the course, at one of the Pearson Vue exam centres around the UK. Cisco recommends at least a six week study and revision plan before attempting the exam.
