Introductory associate-level course that teaches the fundamental concepts, components, and essential protocols of networking. It combines theory and hands-on practice using Packet Tracer and real equipment to prepare students for advanced modules and the CCNA 200-301 certification.

Upon completion, the student will be able to:

  • Understand the structure and functionality of modern networks
  • Configure basic routers and switches, and enable connectivity
  • Perform IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and subnetting
  • Use Packet Tracer to design and test networks
  • Employ diagnostic tools such as ping and traceroute
  • Implement basic security measures and network segmentation

No prior knowledge is required, but it is highly recommended that the candidate:

  • Have a technical curiosity and the ability to study independently

Learning Methodology

The learning methodology, regardless of the modality (in-person or remote), is based on the development of workshops or labs that lead to the construction of a project, emulating real activities in a company.

The instructor (live), a professional with extensive experience in work environments related to the topics covered, acts as a workshop leader, guiding students' practice through knowledge transfer processes, applying the concepts of the proposed syllabus to the project.

The methodology seeks that the student does not memorize, but rather understands the concepts and how they are applied in a work environment.

As a result of this work, at the end of the training the student will have gained real experience, will be prepared for work and to pass an interview, a technical test, and/or achieve higher scores on international certification exams.

Conditions to guarantee successful results:
  • a. An institution that requires the application of the model through organization, logistics, and strict control over the activities to be carried out by the participants in each training session.
  • b. An instructor located anywhere in the world, who has the required in-depth knowledge, expertise, experience, and outstanding values, ensuring a very high-level knowledge transfer.
  • c. A committed student, with the space, time, and attention required by the training process, and the willingness to focus on understanding how concepts are applied in a work environment, and not memorizing concepts just to take an exam.
