Cisco career ladder

Where CCNA sits in your team's Cisco progression

The cert your team is on now, plus the levels above and below. Use this to map an engineer's next-step credential or to plan headcount coverage across tiers.

Customer outcome

Build CCNA capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the CCNA course to the engineers who need it, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished, and who has passed the practice exam — the view leadership uses to see Cisco skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

Team capability

Make CCNA a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on CCNA gives leadership a clear picture of Cisco skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.

Frequently asked questions about CCNA training

Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating CCNA training for their team.

How does CCNA fit into our internal compliance and governance program?

IT leaders often cite CCNA when documenting that the people who run switching, routing and WAN connectivity hold a recognized Cisco credential for that work. CBT Nuggets team reporting adds per-learner progress, completion, and completion exports that can serve as audit evidence of assigned CCNA training. Your auditor's control crosswalk decides how the credential formally maps to the framework your organization follows.

Who on the team should hold CCNA, and what can a certified team own?

CCNA fits network administrators, network engineers and support technicians responsible for day-to-day Cisco infrastructure. The linked course covers Layer 2 switches, Layer 3 routers, access points, NGFWs and controllers, Layer 4 transport protocols, the hierarchical network model, WAN technologies and topologies, and copper, fiber and Cisco transceiver selection. A team certified across those areas can own campus and branch connectivity from the physical cabling layer up through routed WAN links.

What does CBT Nuggets CCNA training include for a team?

CBT Nuggets CCNA courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to Cisco's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

How do I assign and track CCNA training for my team?

From the admin console, managers assign the CCNA courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

How long does it take to certify a team on CCNA?

The linked live courses add up to about 94 hours of video. How long a team actually takes depends on each engineer's starting point with networking fundamentals and Cisco equipment, so IT leaders typically assign the playlist with a target date and track per-learner completion in team reporting.

What if Cisco updates the CCNA exam objectives?

CBT Nuggets updates Cisco course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When Cisco restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
