Introduction to Networks (ITN)
The first course in the CCNA curriculum introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users,
devices, applications, and data through the internet and across modern computer networks – including IP addressing and Ethernet
fundamentals. By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LANs) that integrate IP addressing schemes,
and foundational network security and perform basic configurations for routers and switches.

Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials (SRWE)
The second course in the CCNA curriculum focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium
business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLANs) and security concepts. Students learn key-switching and routing
concepts. They can perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure
and secure a basic WLAN.

Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA)
The third course in the CCNAv7 curriculum describes the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating,
and troubleshooting enterprise networks. This course covers wide area network (WAN) technologies and quality of service (QoS)
mechanisms used for secure remote access. ENSA also introduces software-defined networking, virtualization, and automation
concepts that support the digitalization of networks. Students gain skills to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks and learn to
identify and protect against cybersecurity threats. They are introduced to network management tools and learn key concepts of
software-defined networking, including controller-based architectures and how application programming interfaces (APIs) enable
network automation.
