What is the CCNA?
The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is a certification from Cisco. It covers networking basics: how devices connect, how data moves across networks, and the fundamentals of network security and automation.
It is a common first certification for people starting in networking and IT support.
Who is the CCNA for?
The CCNA suits you if you want to work in networking, IT support or security, for example as a network technician or network administrator.
Security work depends on knowing how networks run, so the CCNA can be a good base before you specialize in cyber security.
What does it take to earn the CCNA?
Cisco does not set formal prerequisites for the CCNA, but it suggests you get hands-on networking practice first. You earn the certification by passing Cisco's CCNA exam.
The CCNA stays valid for a set period. You renew it by passing an exam again or by earning continuing education credits through Cisco's program.
Requirements can change. Check the Cisco website for the current details before you plan.
