Do I take the old or new course?
The CCNA Routing and Switching Certication can be achieved with either the old or the new courses. The old exams will however go end-
of-life on the 30th of September 2013.
Do the new courses differ from the old?
Yes: there are signicant differences between the old and new curriculum, students should take the exam that relates to the version they
have studied.
Can I mix and match the old and new courses?
Yes you can, although we would strongly recommend that if you have already started your CCNA certication journey, that you complete on
the previous version. The differences between the old and the new curriculum are signicant, students wishing to take the new exams after
following the v1.1 courses would need to do a considerable amount of additional studying to close the anticipated shortfall in knowledge.
A full FAQ on the CCNA Update is available at the Global Knowledge website.
Global Knowledge will be offering the new courses from April 2013, students will have a number of options open to them. We recommend
that all students discuss their training with our training advisors to ensure they complete on the path that is right for them.
