This CCNA Discovery course is the second course in the Cisco Networking Academy Discovery
course series. This course, along with the Networking for Home and Small Businesses course, has
provided you with an opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills and abilities to prepare you to take
the first exam in the Cisco Certified Network Associate Series.

In order to successfully pass the certification exam, you need to review the material presented in
both courses. The Cisco certification exams require a hands-on component that is presented
throughout the exam as simulations, which are similar to the e-labs contained within this course.
Practice of all the hands-on labs and Packet Tracer activities is also recommended as preparation for
the exam. Cisco provides an on-line certification preparation center, as well, to help ensure your
success on the exam.

To further your networking education, and to prepare for the Cisco CCNA exam, it is recommended
that you continue through the last two courses in the CCNA Discovery Series:

Introducing Routing and Switching in the Enterprise - Learn how enterprise networks support
critical business applications. Further refine and enhance your networking skills as you prepare for
the Cisco CCNA certification.

Designing and Supporting Computer Networks - Learn the concepts that contribute to good network
design. These skills prepare you for entry-level pre-sale positions with network vendors, as well as
provide the fundamental knowledge necessary for students to start their own small network support
businesses.
