GUIDE TO THE CCNA R/S

So you want to earn your CCNA. But where do you start?


Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching certification is a starting point for many IT professionals. It’s designed for network
specialists, network administrators, and network support engineers with 1-3 years of experience. Because it’s an entry
level cert and applies to so many job roles, it’s an extremely popular certification.

To earn your CCNA Routing and Switching certification, you will need to pass the following exams:

100-101 ICND1/CCENT and 200-120 CCNA


OR
200-101 ICND2 (composite of the 100-101 & 200-101)

The CCNA 200-120 composite exam is geared toward individuals looking to renew their CCNA. So, for the purpose of
this guide, we will focus on the path requiring you take the ICND1 and ICND2 exams. For information on the 200-120
exam, please see Cisco’s website. Fun fact: The ICND1 exam is also required if you are interested in earning your CCENT
certification. So if you take the ICND1 en route to earning a CCNA, you’ll earn your CCENT in the process!
