You will be given access to your own study portal which includes video tutorials, presentations, and quizzes, specifically designed to ready you for the practical application of the theory that you will learn.
Once you have worked your way through the course material, you will take a short online exam consisting of multiple-choice questions in order to ensure that you have a firm grasp of the course material.
Step 2

Our cutting edge live lab will give you the practical hands-on training that you will require from the comfort of your own home. Live-Lab is real computer equipment networked together and conveniently accessible over the internet.
Our hosted platforms are configured to imitate real world configurations by providing sufficient hardware not only to carry out tasks, but also test the impact of those changes. From the browser you gain administrative access to the relevant devices giving you complete control to carry out either your own configurations or follow the lab guides to configure specific technologies that are required for the relevant CompTIA exams.
Step 3

You will finally be prepared for the official Cisco CCNA Certifications. We will firstly release extensive mock tests for you to practice on and once you are ready we will book your official exams.
Cisco are international leaders in IT certifications and having the Cisco CCNA+ will not only qualify you as an IT professional in the UK but across the globe.
The exam is one exam lasting 120minutes long.
Step 4

Once you have gained the two years experience within the IT industry, as well as completing step 4 of your training, we can then place you into a role as a Network Engineer.
