Cisco Certified Network Associate CCNA Books

Authorized training is provided globally by Cisco Learning Partners. Also available are self-study guide by Cisco Press. Additional resources and tools to aid in preparing for the certification are available on the CCNA Prep Center.[1]

Candidates have the option of gaining the certification by passing two tests (INTRO and ICND), or one single test (CCNA); the two-test option has the advantage of allowing the candidate to focus on certain subjects.

The certification is valid for three years; at that time a CCNA holder must either

* re-take the CCNA or ICND exam, or
* take and pass an exam for one of the Professional (e.g., CCNP) or Specialist level certifications (excluding the sales specialist exams), or pass the CCIE written exam.

These exams are known by their corresponding numbers. When the curriculum of the exam changes the exam number also changes. The current exam number for CCNA is 640-801. For INTRO and ICND it is 640-811 and 640-821 respectively.
