Course Overview
Watching tutorials doesn’t make you a network engineer. Neither does memorizing subnets on flashcards. What actually builds competence is sitting in front of a device, reading what went wrong, and working through it until it’s fixed. That’s what this course is designed around.
This five-day program on implementing and administering Cisco solutions follows the CCNA latest version curriculum, but doesn’t stop at exam prep. Every session connects directly to what network professionals handle in real environments. Cisco networking fundamentals, IP addressing and subnetting, IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence, wireless local area network deployment, and Cisco firewall configuration all get covered through hands-on lab work, not slides alone.
CCNA training, Cisco-style, here means lab time runs across every single day. You won’t spend four days in theory and squeeze practice into the last afternoon. Whether you’re new to the field or formalizing years of hands-on experience with a proper credential, this program gives you both.
It sits within the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio alongside Identity with Windows Server 2016, leadership and management courses, and a broader Training Calendar 2026 covering infrastructure, security, and governance.

- Outline
Course Outline
Day 1: Cisco Networking Fundamentals and Network Architecture
- Understand how enterprise networks are structured and where Cisco routers and switches fit within the layered architecture
- Break the OSI model down into something that explains real packet behavior rather than just passing an exam question
- Map CCNA certification objectives to actual administrative tasks so participants know exactly what the week is preparing them for
Day 2: IP Addressing, Subnetting, and IPv4 and IPv6
- Work through IP addressing and subnetting at a pace that builds genuine fluency rather than shaky formula dependence
- Compare IPv4 and IPv6 formats, header structures, and configuration steps for running both simultaneously in one environment
- Plan address schemes for networks of varying size using methods pulled directly from real deployment scenarios
Day 3: Switching, Routing, and Cisco Implementation
- Configure VLANs, trunk links, and spanning tree through hands-on Cisco implementation exercises on simulated network devices
- Set up OSPF and static routing, test failover behavior, and learn when each protocol actually makes operational sense
- Identify and fix switching and routing faults using diagnostic habits that hold up under pressure in live environments
Day 4: Wireless LAN, Cisco Firewall, and Network Security
- Deploy wireless local area network environments with controller-based architecture, covering access point setup and RF planning basics
- Write and apply Cisco firewall rules and access control lists that reflect real perimeter requirements, not simplified textbook cases
- Review wireless LAN vulnerability patterns, encryption standards, and the misconfigurations that quietly leave networks exposed
Day 5: Troubleshooting Labs, Exam Prep, and CCNA Certification Review
- Run timed troubleshooting scenarios across switching, routing, wireless LAN, and Cisco firewall domains under exam-like conditions
- Hit the heaviest-weighted CCNA latest version blueprint sections through structured practice questions with detailed answer walkthroughs
- Walk away with a realistic exam timeline, a focused study schedule, and clarity on exactly what still needs work
- Terms
Training Methodology
This CCNA learning program combines:
- Cisco Packet Tracer and simulation lab exercises running across all five days of the program
- Troubleshooting scenarios drawn from failures that actually occur in live enterprise networks
- Exam preparation sessions tied to the CCNA latest version objective weightings
- Cross-industry peer discussion and group problem-solving throughout the week
- Direct, honest feedback on where each participant stands against certification readiness
- Achievements
Certification
Participants who complete the program receive a course completion certificate from Global Industries Intelligence Corporate and Industrial Training Center. The program prepares you fully for the official CCNA certification examination through accredited Cisco testing channels.
- Case Study
Case Study Example
A logistics company running four regional sites had a network nobody really understood anymore. Years of patching had made IP addressing and subnetting a mess, the wireless local area network dropped during busy periods, and the IT team had no usable documentation. Two engineers went through a structured CCNA training Cisco program and came back with a plan alongside their credentials. They sorted the address scheme, replaced the wireless LAN setup, and applied Cisco firewall rules that the network had never actually had. Within a year, downtime dropped, both engineers passed the CCNA certification for the first time, and leadership gave them a full infrastructure expansion to run.
- Why Choose
Why Choose This Program?
If you’ve sat through CCNA learning content that felt more like coaching for a test than building real ability, this is different. The Global Industries Intelligence CCNA Masterclass is built around genuine network scenarios, Cisco implementation practice, and a certification pathway that prepares you for the job, not just the exam. Whether you’re starting from the basics or looking for formal recognition of experience you already have, this course makes your skills measurable and credible.
