About Networking Essentials and CCNA
Networking Essentials is an entry level course that covers the basic concepts of computer networking, such as networking topologies, protocols, addressing schemes, and network architectures. It is an essential course for anyone looking to start a career in IT or computer networking.On the other hand, CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is a certification program thatvalidates an individual’s ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-sized routed and switched networks. CCNA is a more advanced and specialized course that focuses on the configuration and management of Cisco-based networks.
CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is one of the most recognized and respected IT certifications in the networking industry.
