Cisco CCNA
Configure, route, secure and troubleshoot real Cisco networks, and walk into the CCNA 200-301 exam ready.
This is a hands-on Cisco CCNA course built directly around the current 200-301 (v1.1) exam blueprint, taking you from how a packet moves across a wire to configuring routing, switching, wireless, security and basic network automation on real Cisco IOS. You spend most of your time in labs, building and breaking topologies in Cisco Packet Tracer and on IOS devices until the commands become second nature. Delivered mentor-led by certified trainers, it is designed for people who want a genuine, employable networking skill set, not just a paper credential. By the end you can stand up a small enterprise network, diagnose why it is broken and fix it, which is exactly what entry-level network roles ask for.

Certification path
This course prepares you for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam, code 200-301, currently on the v1.1 blueprint, which is a single exam that certifies foundational networking skills across routing, switching, wireless, security and automation. NUEXUS gives you a completion certificate at the end and aligns the curriculum tightly to the official Cisco exam objectives, but the CCNA itself is an independent, proctored Cisco exam that you book and sit through Cisco (Pearson VUE); we prepare you thoroughly and maximise your readiness, though no course can guarantee a pass.
NUEXUS training certificate
Issued by NUEXUS when you complete the course. Anyone can confirm it is genuine on our verification portal.
