CCNA: Introduction to Networks

Begin preparing for a networking career with this introduction to how networks operate. This first course in the 3-course CCNA series introduces architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements – functions needed to support the operations and priorities of fortune companies to small innovative retailers. You’ll even get the chance to build simple local area networks (LANs) yourself. You’ll have a working knowledge of IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and be able to perform basic configurations for routers and switches. You’ll also earn a Networking Academy badge for completing this course.

No prerequisites required.

You’ll learn these core skills:

Build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
Configure routers, switches, and end devices to provide access to local and remote network resources and to enable end-to-end connectivity between remote
Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills using real equipment and Cisco Packet
Configure and troubleshoot connectivity a small network using security best practices

IoT Fundamentals: Connecting Things

Nearly every object can now be connected to the Internet. From washing machines to sophisticated components of an airplane’s jet engine, even organic items like crops and cows. The ability to connect things and capture useful data is transforming organizations in every industry and opening doors for new career specializations. Discover the basis of this exciting and emerging field using fun, hands-on activities to model securely connecting sensors to cloud services over IP networks and collecting data in an end-to- end IoT (Internet of Things) system.

Basic programming (such as PCAP: Programming Essentials in Python), networking and electronics knowledge is recommended.

You’ll learn these core skills:

Interdisciplinary IoT systems (electronics, networking, programming, )
Design thinking, prototyping and
Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills using both real equipment and Cisco Packet Tracer.
Soft skills: teamwork, articulate problems and solutions in a business
