Solved: CCNA Certification Question

daveishere · ‎06-01-2012

Hi,

Firstly, this is my first post here to apologies if it is in the wrong area.

Basically, I've just finished and am awaiting results of a degree in Computer Networking. In the meantime, I would like to gain the CCNA certification.

I have looked around the internet and the general idea i'm getting is that the only requirement is to pass the 640-802 exam, or two seperate smaller exams. Is this correct.

The only reason I ask is that CCNA was offered as part of my course, and i'm pretty sure people who signed up for it had to complete a skills test (physical network lab test) to gain the certification.

Could someone clarify what is required for the CCNA certification please?

Also, I have read a couple of bits and pieces mentionning CCNA 1, 2, 3 & 4 certifications. Are these different, invidivual, certifications to just "CCNA" on its own?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this!

Hi David,

You are most correct here my friend! The exam can be taken as one composite exam

or split into to seperate exams;

CCNA Exams & Recommended Training
Required Exam(s)	Recommended Training
640-802 CCNA	Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) v1.1 Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2) v1.1
OR
Required Exam(s)	Recommended Training
640-822 ICND1	Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) v1.1
640-816 ICND2	Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2) v1.1

The CCNA1,2,3,4 notes that you saw are likely related to to the Cisco Academy learning modules

that is split into 4 sections

Your best bet for these type of questions is probably here;

Cheers and best of luck with your CCNA studies!
