CISCO CCNA Certification
Cisco is the worldwide leader in IT and networking. Achieving CISCO CCNA certification is the first step in preparing for a career in IT technologies. To earn CCNA certification, you pass one exam that covers a broad range of fundamentals for IT careers, based on the latest networking technologies, software development skills, and job roles.
The undergraduate APU students who enlist under this programme, will get an opportunity to get the CISCO CCNA certification which follows CCNA v7 prospectus. There are 4 modules under this programme that were designed following CCNA syllabus. This giving benefits to students as they have access to various resources and simulation software through the learning platform to facilitate their learning. As a CISCO Academy partner, APU had a dedicated CISCO lab with all CISCO devices. This facility is provided to ensure our students are exposed to the real physical configuration of network devices such as routers and switches in their lab sessions at level 2 and level 3 of their undergraduate program. With the best facility and skilled certified instructors, the students should be fully ready to sit for their CCNA certification exam during their final semester of undergraduate study.
