How to become a CCNA?

The primary qualifications for becoming a CCNA or Cisco Certified Network Associate are passing an exam and gaining experience as a network administrator. Many people begin with the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT) certification before progressing to a CCNA. The certification may be enough to qualify you for certain jobs, but some companies also expect candidates to have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field and experience. The role of a Cisco Certified Network Associate is to install, configure, and troubleshoot networks using products from Cisco, a major provider of networking services.
