Preparation to the ICND2 certification exam

Preparation to ICND2 (evening classes)

Two courses preparing you towards the  200-101 ICND2 certification exam, resulting in the CCNA certification when combined to the ICND1 exam will run from July 2015. Alternatively, if you are a certified CCENT, this is the logical follow up  to prepare the 200-120 CCNA (composite exam)

These courses will be taught in the School of Engineering, home of the Cisco Networking academy  at the Manukau Institute of Technology.

The duration of each course is 8 weeks, and they will run in the evening.

IPv6: The link local address

IP6 link local address

IPv6 can be confusing if you only have dealt with IPv4 before. This video from Cisco might help to clarify the concept of IPv6 link local address.The voice of the presentation might be too mechanical, but the content is excellent.

 

Networking Courses

There are a few spaces available on the networking courses (evening classes) at the Cisco academy located at the Manukau Institute of Technology (Auckland).

The CCNA night classes will prepare you to take the certification in one year.

The students have physical access to the labs 7 days per week.

The classes will be starting 16th February.

More information about certification can be found here and about our offerings here

Prepare your CCENT and CCNA Certification this year

Certification? What is a certification?

A person gets certified after taking a exam offered by a vendor in a test centre.

The  Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) are the entry level certifications to become a networking professional.

Why should I take the certification exam?

You might want to formalise or extend your present knowledge.

Holding a valid certification exam in the proof of your knowledge. It can be scary to take the exams, as they are fast paced and not easy – that is what make their value after all! With the correct preparation, you should be able to clear them easily!

Cisco certifications are recognised worldwide and lead students into starting roles for businesses operating a Cisco network. They are also a starting point towards higher certification or certification in other networking area, such as network security, wireless…

There is a lot of demand for Networking specialists!

I am working during the day time and will not be given the time off to attend classes!

You can study towards the CCNA and CCENT certification in Auckland at MIT,  recognised as a centre of excellence for Cisco certification training . In 2015, we will be running classes in the evening, starting from 16th February. Since the places are limited, you need to book your place and enrol on the course as soon as possible. Do not get caught!

We will give you access to our racks of equipment 7 days per week.

You will be ready to sit the CCENT certification in July, and the CCNA certification at the end of November. You could also decide to take one single exam covering the two certifications at the end.

Come an get to VIP pass to success!

CCNA Routing and Switching

The Cisco Networking Academy®  CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum, taught in Auckland at the Manukau Institute of Technology is designed for students

  • who are seeking entry-level ICT jobs
  • plan to pursue more specialized ICT skills.
  • who need to formalise their knowledge in order to prepare for the certification

It provides comprehensive coverage of networking topics, from fundamentals to advanced applications and services, with opportunities for hands-on practical experience and career skills development.

Cisco Certifications

Students will be prepared to take the Cisco CCENT® certification exam after completing a set of two courses

They will also be ready to pass the CCNA® Routing and Switching certification exam after completing the full set of four courses

Features and Benefits

Students learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to prepare for the CCENT and CCNA certification exams, and the courses are embedded within the NZ Diploma in Engineering , (Electrical Major -Computer Specialisation), Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electrical Engineering Major – Computer Network Specialisation).
The language used to describe networking concepts is designed to be easily understood by learners at all levels. Embedded interactive activities help reinforce comprehension.
Courses emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and the practical application of skills.
Multimedia learning tools, including videos, games, and quizzes, address a variety of learning styles and promote increased knowledge retention.
Hands-on labs and Cisco® Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities help students develop critical thinking and complex problem solving skills.
Embedded assessments provide immediate feedback to support the evaluation of knowledge and acquired skills.

Course Description

CCNA Routing and Switching teaches comprehensive networking concepts, from network applications to the protocols and services provided to those applications by the lower layers of the network. Students will progress from basic networking to more complex enterprise and theoretical networking models later in the curriculum.
There are four courses in the recommended sequence:

  • Introduction to Networks
  • Routing and Switching Essentials
  • Scaling Networks
  •  Connecting Networks

In each course, Networking Academy™ students will learn technology concepts with the support of interactive media and apply and practice this knowledge through a series of hands-on and simulated activities that reinforce their learning.

Networking Industry Visit

An Networking Industry Panel from Totalteam will answer the Manukau Institute of Technology students questions on 5th September 2014 at 3:30 (P208).

All networking students should attend, but students from other disciplines are also welcome.

Cisco Networking Classes at the Manukau Institute of Technology

Get your VIP pass to success!

Cisco computer and networking classes at MIT can help make it happen.

You’re communicating, socializing, researching, playing, creating, exploring. Chances are, you’re doing it on some kind of network.

But if you think digital networks are pervasive now, just wait. By 2015, there will be 15 billion global network connections — twice as many as there are people on Earth.

Learning about networks will give you lots of options. Because your future will be running on them.

With the right network skills, you can embark on an exciting and well-paying career in network engineering. Or you can bring those vital skills to an internship or job in some other industry. You may even catch the entrepreneurial spirit and start your own network-based company.

Get a VIP pass to your future by enrolling in Cisco Networking Academy classes offered at Manukau Institute of Technology.

Become a network insider.

Networking skills are in high demand. The mass of digital information grew 5000% in the last decade, but the number of IT professionals is expected to increase by only 1.5% over the next 10 years. That means opportunities will proliferate. Consider just a few possibilities:
• Network-driven smart grids are greening the power industry—good news for the planet.
• Advanced video-conferencing systems reduce business travel.
Specialized networks are revolutionizing video and graphics.
Global companies run their entire operations on networks, from designing and manufacturing to sales and support.
Non-profit organizations work to solve social problems worldwide, using innovative networks to enable positive change.
Cloud computing empowers software as a service, data center visualization, and more.
Schools and universities rely on networks. So do local governments, small businesses and home offices.

Set yourself apart.

Courses can lead to a Cisco certification—an impressive and desired addition to your resumé. Open the door to an exhilarating and opportunity-rich future.

What to expect?

Learn by doing. Our courses feature simulations, hands-on labs, and gaming— you may get inspired, and you won’t get bored.
Extend your reach. These classes will add to your personal skill set. Our diverse graduate population proves that you don’t have to be a techie to succeed.
Join a community. Connect online with Cisco students in 165 countries around the world.
Make a difference. Here’s your chance to build expertise that has a real impact. Knowledge is power. Especially useful, marketable knowledge.
Equalize ♀pportunity. Women are assuming an ever-growing role in the technology sphere. Networking Academy aims to reinforce that trend by preparing women for positions in IT and other careers where networking skills are highly rewarded.

It’s your future.
