CCENT: Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician

CCENT is the first step into Cisco networking, and one step away from gaining your CCNA qualification.

The goal of this course is to provide students with the key skills to be successful during the configuration of all routers and switches.

Students who have attended the ICND Part 1 course will gain competency in the operation, configuration and maintenance of Cisco IOS-based devices and ISR-capable routers.
