CCNA Exploration is designed for students with advanced problem solving and analytical skills. The curriculum offers a comprehensive and theoretical learning experience for analytical students, and uses language that aligns well with engineering concepts. Interactive activities are embedded in the curriculum, along with detailed, theoretical content. Advanced labs build critical thinking and problem solving skills and encourage exploration and research.
CCNA Exploration helps prepare students for entry-level career opportunities, continuing education, and globally-recognized Cisco CCNA certification.

The CCNA Exploration curriculum consists of four courses that offer flexibility in the delivery of the courses.

1. Network Fundamentals Following a top-down approach, the first course introduces applications and applica¬tion services very early in the curriculum to provide a foundation. Advanced technologies (voice, video, wireless, and security) are also introduced.
2. Routing Protocols and Concepts  Routing and switching topics and concepts are grouped to allow for a higher level of flex¬ibility in the course delivery. All routing topics are covered in the Routing Protocols and Concepts course and all switching topics are covered in the LAN Switching and Wireless course. These courses can be taught either in sequence or simultaneously.
3. LAN Switching and Wireless
4. Accessing the WAN  The last course, Accessing the Wan, thoroughly covers all WAN technologies. All courses include advanced and challenging labs and activities that allow students to visualize and gain hands-on experience with the application protocols and services introduced in the course.
5. This course is self funded and a tuition fee of £1600 is payable by applicants.
