1. What is Huawei Certified Network Associate (HCNA)?

Presently, HAINA at GIK is offering trainings in Routing and Switching (HCNA–R&S), and plans
to offer more advanced level trainings in future. HCNA–R&S will cover following three major
modules:

Enterprise Networks
 Background knowledge of network concepts & technologies
 Understanding the basic principles and hands-on practice on real switches and routers
for configuring Huawei’s network OS and protocols.
Routing and Switching Technologies
 Core knowledge of routing and switching technologies.
 Practical implementation on routers and switches to obtain an in-depth understanding.

Advanced Network Technologies

 Understanding basics of IPv6 and Software Defined Networking (SDN) principles.

2. Benefits of HCNA training to students

 Globally recognized industrial standard training and certification that are essential for
employment in industry
 Gain the knowledge and skills that employers require
 An opportunity to get certified before graduation and standout among peers
 Increased job opportunities
 Special student discount vouchers on Huawei certification exams

3. Discounted Vouchers of Huawei Certification Exam

All the students trained by GIK-HAINA are eligible for availing the discounted certification exam
vouchers (50-100% discounts) from Huawei. Training of the four batches of GIK-HAINA has
been successfully completed and students have received their 100% discounted free HCNA (R&S)
certification vouchers worth 200 USD (approx. 30,000 PKR).

4. How to Apply?
