Last Updated 05 April 2013 On March 26, 2013, Cisco announced the redesign of the Cisco associate-level certification programs, including the Cisco CCENT and CCNA certifications, to align with the evolution of the job market. The certification formerly known as CCNA has evolved to a concentration and has been renamed CCNA Routing and Switching. The new Cisco Networking Academy CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum currently in development will be fully aligned to the certification changes announced, with new and updated content including: Comprehensive troubleshooting IPv6, IOS 15.x, HSRP, and EtherChannel. The latest Cisco routing and switching technology and software
In addition, CCENT certification now becomes a foundational certification and replaces CCNA as the prerequisite for associate-level advanced technology certifications, including CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, CCNA Wireless, and CCNA SP Operations. This is exciting news and especially important for NetAcad students preparing to enter the job market, as these changes provide greater flexibility and options to help integrate working and learning experiences as you pursue your education and future careers.
In the past, the Networking Academy program has been able to negotiate an extension of certification exams for NetAcad students. However, to conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accreditation requirements, which provide a global benchmark for personnel certification programs, Cisco must now set the same certification end-of-life date for everyone, including Cisco Academies. You can find additional information on the ANSI accreditation of Cisco certifications in the news release Cisco issued.
