The CCNA certification validates the skills necessary to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size networks with connections to LAN devices and remote sites.

More than 400 students have passed the CCNA certification exam as a result of their coursework at Southwestern Illinois College.

Four courses at Southwestern Illinois College will prepare students for the CCNA certification exam:
      CISC-161, Cisco Networking Essentials
      CISC-162, Cisco Network Communication
      CISC-163, Cisco Switching and Routing
      CISC-164, Cisco Enterprise Networking

These four courses are part of the Cisco Networking Academy. The courses use a combination of web-based and instructor-led learning, in addition to hands-on labs, to teach students how to design, build and maintain computer networks.
