Cisco has announced big changes to its certification program.


As of February 24, 2020, all current certifications will be retired, and Cisco will begin offering new certification programs.


The good news is if you’re working toward any current CCNA certification, keep going. You have until February 24, 2020 to complete your current CCNA. If you already have CCENT/ICND1 certification and would like to earn CCNA, you have until February 23, 2020 to complete your CCNA certification in the current program.  Likewise, if you’re thinking of completing the current CCENT/ICND1, ICND2, or CCNA Routing and Switching certification, you can still complete them between now and February 23, 2020. 




Increase the value of your organization’s cloud network—and invest in your education


The Cisco Cloud certification validates the skill set of individuals on industry-leading cloud solutions and best practices, as well as offering job role-based curricula for all levels of an IT staff. CCNA Cloud Complete Study Guide prepares you to take two required exams: 210-451, Understanding Cisco Cloud Fundamentals, and 210-455, Introducing Cisco Cloud Administration. It covers everything you can expect to encounter on the exams and also gives you a year of FREE access to Sybex's superior online interactive learning environment and test bank, including chapter tests, practice exams, a glossary of key terms, and electronic flashcards.


Cisco’s CCNA Cloud certification covers cloud characteristics and models, cloud deployment, and basic knowledge of cloud compute, cloud networking, and cloud storage. It also covers cloud infrastructure administration and reporting, chargeback and billing reports, cloud provisioning, cloud systems management and monitoring, and cloud remediation. With thorough coverage, practical instruction, and expert insight, this book provides an ideal resource for Exam 210-451 and Exam 210-455 preparation.
