The Academy offers the finest accelerated CCNA certification training in Florida. At the Academy’s CCNA Boot Camp, we guide you through configuring, troubleshooting, and administering Cisco routers and switches. We focus on what you need to know to pass the CCNA exam. This seven-day program allows you to obtain a vital Cisco certification in a week.

During this five – day boot camp students will learn a wide range of knowledge to prepare them for work in various IT careers. Students will learn how to install, operate, configure, and verify basic IPv4 and IPv6 Networks.

This boot camp covers configuring network components including Switches, routers, and wireless LAN controllers, managing network devices, and identifying basic security threats. This boot camp is foundational in network programming, automation, and software-defined networking.
