Networks are all around us and you are using one right now to access this course.

Imagine for a moment, how different your life would be without access to Facebook, Snapchat, Google, YouTube, Whatsapp or any of the other websites on the Internet? How would you live with no Internet?

The Internet is extremely important in modern life today and all websites and Internet communication relies on networking. This reliance is only predicted to continue with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the next few years.

Without routers, switches, network cabling and protocols like BGP there would be no Internet.

This course will teach you how networks actually work and how you are able to connect to websites like Facebook, Google, and YouTube.

Companies throughout the world (from the smallest to the largest) rely on networks designed, installed and maintained by networking engineers. Join this in demand industry.

Start your journey today learning about networking.

I want to welcome you to this GNS3 Cisco CCNA course. I'm David Bombal, and I have been teaching networking courses for over 15 years. I qualified as a Cisco Certified Interwork Engineer (CCIE) in 2003 and hold with numerous other networking certifications. I'm also a Cisco and HPE certified instructor where I have trained thousands of networking engineers in many of the largest companies in the world including Fortune 100 companies.

The course covers the topics in the Cisco

At the end of this course, you will be able to confidently discuss networking topics; and be able to start configuring real networking devices such as routers and switches. In this an introductory course, but contains a lot of information that can be directly applied to the CCNA certification.

The ideal student for this course is someone looking to break into the networking field, someone looking to extend their knowledge from PCs and servers to networking, or someone interested in getting knowledge to work in one of the most exciting, most in-demand jobs in IT - networking.

There are no requirements necessary to enroll in this course, I only ask that you come open minded and ready to learn.

Reviews summary

Ccent icnd1 practical packet tracer labs

According to learners, this course offers excellent hands-on practice using Packet Tracer, providing a wealth of practical labs designed to solidify understanding of networking concepts. Students found the labs to be well-structured and challenging, significantly helping them prepare for the practical components of the Cisco CCENT/ICND1 100-105 exam. The instructor is frequently praised for their clear explanations and expertise in the lab solution videos. However, a common point raised is that the course focuses exclusively on labs and requires students to have already gained theoretical knowledge from other sources, making it not a standalone course for the certification. Learners appreciate the depth of the lab exercises for building confidence in configuration and troubleshooting.

Content targets the retired CCENT/ICND1 (100-105) exam.

"Note that this course is for the older 100-105 exam, not the new CCNA 200-301."

"While the labs are still relevant for core skills, they are tailored for the retired ICND1 syllabus."

"It's good practice, but be aware the specific exam focus is outdated."

Instructor provides clear solutions and guidance.

"The instructor's walk-throughs for the lab solutions were very clear and easy to follow."

"Instructor clearly explains the steps and reasoning in the solution videos."

"Appreciate the detailed explanations provided for each lab."

"Great guidance from the instructor on how to approach and solve the labs."

Highly effective for preparing for the ICND1 practical.

"These labs were crucial for my ICND1 exam preparation, especially the practical parts."

"Felt much more confident going into the CCENT exam after completing these labs."

"Solidified my knowledge needed for the 100-105 exam."

"The course directly targets the practical skills tested in the ICND1."

Provides extensive and high-quality practical labs.

"The amount of labs is amazing. Provides great hands-on practice required for the exam."

"Really enjoyed the labs. They are practical, challenging, and cover key topics thoroughly."

"Excellent set of labs, helped me immensely in understanding configurations and troubleshooting."

"I got the hands-on experience I needed from these labs."

Focus is on labs; requires existing theoretical knowledge.

"This course is strictly labs. You MUST have already studied the theory elsewhere."

"Not a course for beginners without any prior knowledge. Focuses only on practical."

"Make sure you understand the concepts first, then use these labs to practice."

"It doesn't teach the 'why', just the 'how' through labs."
