ICND1 (CCENT) Training

ICND1 (Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 1) v3.0 is a five-day course that will enable students to understand QoS, virtualization and cloud services and network programmability related to WAN, access and core segments. It will provide the foundational understanding of network layers 1-3 that are applicable to core routing and switching plus other advanced technologies.

Configuration commands are introduced through examples and supported with lab exercises. A full suite of labs have been developed using the virtual IOS environment with flexible topologies that reinforce concepts with guided, hands-on discovery and challenge labs that align to each lesson module.

This course is presented using a combination of lecture and lab activities and incorporates all the material a student needs to pass the ICND1 exam and achieve the CCENT certification.
