Part 1 of three-part CCNA Routing & Switching curriculum, which provides an integrated and comprehensive coverage of networking topics. The series offers opportunities for hands-on practical experience and career skills development.
Course content
The first course in the CCNA curriculum introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications and data through the Internet and across modern computer networks - including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals. By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LAN) that integrate IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and perform basic configurations for routers and switches.
This course comprises 40 hours of online learning, followed by a face-to-face exam at RMIT's Melbourne City Campus.
