Why Choose DigiUK Academy?
Choosing the right training provider can make a significant difference to your career. **Instead** of studying crowded classroom environments, our training is delivered in tightly focused small groups with a maximum of four students.
We believe technical education should be practical, engaging, and focused on real industry requirements. **Therefore**, we ensure every single learner receives direct personal guidance throughout the programme.
The course splits focus into approximately 50% theory and 50% practical labs using Cisco Packet Tracer. **Additionally**, you learn from someone who has actively worked in the industry—not simply read from a textbook.
Learn from an instructor with over 30 years of IT industry experience, 21 years of teaching networking and cyber security, and a Master’s Degree in Software Engineering.
Throughout the programme, you benefit from practical industry knowledge and real-world experience in designing, implementing, and supporting enterprise IT infrastructures.
What You Will Learn
This Cisco CCNA training course provides a strong foundation in enterprise networking through a balanced combination of theory and labs.
1. Base Topology
Master foundational elements and infrastructure layouts, including:
- Network Fundamentals
- Enterprise Network Design
- TCP/IP Protocol Suite
- IPv4 & IPv6 Addressing
- Extensive Subnetting Practices
2. Device Control
Learn how devices are managed, partitioned, and interlinked:
- Enterprise Router Configuration
- Enterprise Switch Configuration
- VLANs & Logical Switching
- Inter-VLAN Routing Setup
3. Routing & Services
Understand engineering rules for traffic flow and network services:
- Dynamic Routing (OSPF)
- DHCP & NAT Deployments
- Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- Wireless Networking Concepts
4. Operations Security
Develop professional troubleshooting protocols and exam structures:
- Network Security Fundamentals
- Advanced Troubleshooting
