This course will take the student from A to Z to prepare and pass Cisco's newest CCENT or ICND1 (100-105) certification exam.
It was produced in a simplistic, easy to comprehend manner in order to maximize the students ability to digest, implement and execute the topics; not only in a test environment, but also in real world scenarios.
Please note that the CCENT certification is the first certification needed to advance to other certification within Cisco's CCNA track.
This means that students need to pass the CCENT to continue any other CCNA certification within Cisco. Unless the student is taking Cisco's composite exam.
Please read the coarse FAQ outlined herein, to understand what you should expect of this course and what you are expected to do and have before beginning this course.
The CCENT 100-105 course was produced in a very unorthodox and relaxed manner in order to drill in the topics that Cisco requires to meet their criteria and prepare to pass the certification exam.
I hope that this course meets and exceeds your expectation as a Network student and/or IT Professional.
