Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated v3.0 (CCNAX)

Home > Events > Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated v3.0 (CCNAX)

Michigan Technology Services offers many Cisco instructor-led courses. This CCNA training can take place at our location in Farmington Hills, 20 miles outside of Detroit, where you will sit in a room with one of our instructors, onsite at your office anywhere throughout the United States, or if you prefer, instructor led live online.

In the CCNAX class, instead of taking both the ICND1 and ICND2 classes and exams, learners have the option of taking one accelerated class and exam instead. The CCNA course covers all the material necessary to earn your CCNA certification, the prerequisite for many higher-level Cisco certifications. CCNA training teaches you the skills you need to install, configure, and troubleshoot Cisco routing and switching products, as well as introductory security and wireless technologies used by small and medium sized businesses.

This course prepares for CCNA Routing and Switching ICND v3 Exam (200-125 CCNA)

Who Should Attend

  • Network Administrators
  • Network Engineers
  • Network Managers
  • Systems Engineers
  • Network Designers
  • Project Managers

Prerequisites

This class is based on the traditional ICND1 and ICND2 classes and has been redeveloped to focus on achieving your CCNA efficiently with the view to fully prepare you for the exam whilst minimizing your time out of the office. All students should have a good understanding of the basics of Routing and Switching technologies - they should be familiar with a PC, understand how to change an IP address on a PC, use the ipconfig command and understand the different types of Ethernet cable. Candidates should ideally have 6 months – 1 year practical experience in a networking environment and have successfully completed our Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part1 v3 class or have equivalent work experience.

Student Successes

  • The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

    - SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  • The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

    - SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

  • I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

    - Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

  • In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students.  It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

    - De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

  • We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
