CCNA Exploration
Target Audience
Prerequisites
The target audience for CCNA Exploration includes Cisco Networking Academy® Program students with advanced problem solving and analytical skills typically associated with degree programs in engineering, math, or science.
Prerequisites
CCNA Exploration is composed of four courses: Network Fundamentals, Routing Protocols and Concepts, LAN Switching and Wireless, and Accessing the WAN. Network Fundamentals is the first course and it has no prerequisites. It is a prerequisite for the other three courses. Routing Protocols and Concepts is the preferred second course in the sequence, but variations are possible as shown in Figure 1. LAN Switching and Wireless can be taught before Routing Protocols and Concepts, or concurrently. LAN Switching and Wireless can also be taught at the same time as Accessing the WAN, after Routing Protocols and Concepts.
