Day Course

Cisco CCNA Security Certification - Overview

The Cisco CCNA Security course is designed to provide staff with an introduction to core security technologies. Through a combination of classroom lecture and practical exercises students will be able to develop security policies and protect their IT infrastructure. The course is based upon applying security through the features of Cisco’s IOS (Internetwork Operating System). The CCNA Security certification is a required step towards the CCSP (Cisco Certified Security Professional).

Course Objectives

The primary objective is for delegates to gain a working knowledge of network security concepts and practices including:

  • Configuring Cisco routers using IOS Software security features
  • Configuring network devices to restrict access
  • Maintaining the integrity of network traffic
  • Configuring Intrusion Protection on Cisco devices
  • Configuring site-to site VPNs
  • Firewall features on Cisco devices

Cisco CCNA Security Certification - Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need, including

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.

Chris Ward, SCC plc.

"My experience at Firebrand Training was good. They made learning fun again even in an intense learning environment."
Simon Williams, Metia.

Paul Bharji, Chelton Ltd.

"Very quick paced course, hard work but well run and very well delivered."
Chris Acton, Sourcewrite Limited.

"Many thanks to Firebrand Training and especially the instructor, as I would have never got through the material and taken the exams. Now I am a qualified MCTS in ASP.NET 3.5, and ADO.NET 3.5. One thing to note - this is not a picnic, be prepared to work hard and put the hours in."
Richard Tappenden, Education Direct Ltd.

"Very quick paced course, hard work but well run and very well delivered."

"Great course, good surroundings and a good way to take in a lot of information in a short space of time. Would recommend."
Ian Randle, Cooper Parry.

"The course was very hard going but very good. The centre, all the staff and the food were all excellent. The only thing that I would advise is that you have a very good understanding of computers and IT before you come. This was a complete career change for me and I had very little computing knowledge when I started, unlike everyone else on the course, but I worked hard and manged to get my first IT qualification. So it can be done. Would definitley recommend Firebrand Training. "
MP, un-employed.

"Firebrand does it again! The rate of learning at these courses is phenomenal, having taken both my CCNA and now a MCTS: SQL Server 2k5 with Firebrand I am now a full convert of the method of teaching employed here. The course structure leans itself to a very aggressive learning curve, but if you stay with it the results will follow. The passion, enthusiasm and patience that the instructor presents every day for the subject and the class really helps you get to grips with the material in the 5 days. One last thing, the food here is fantastic; I attribute this alongside the excellent teaching staff to my success on the course."
Russell Cashman, Reliance High-Tech.

Stephen Blomley, Deutsche Bank.
