S3 E10 - Is the New Cisco CCNA 2.0 More Than Just Another Exam Update
Cisco announced the new version of the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) last week. The first major release in six years. They promise that it is more than just another update and that it is a complete revamp of this entry-level exam. The exam is to go beyond memorization and test candidates ability to apply their knowledge in more scenario-based questions.
Personally, I am glad to see this change and that they kept with the routing and switching fundamentals. Not loading it up with proprietary technologies.
In this episode, you will learn:
Episode Overview:
CCNA 2.0 will hit the street next year. It will shift away from the standard "stump the chump" multiple choice questions and include more scenario-based. It integrates security into the L2 and L3 questions and introduces AI. This is a welcomed and much needed change to the CCNA exam.
Key Takeaway:
The CCNA remains the industry standard for entry-level network engineering
The exam will challenge candidates to apply what they know
The CCNA will produce stronger entry-level network engineers
