In two years, Cisco estimates the number of networked devices will top 29 billion, more than three times the global population. That’s an explosion from the more than 18 billion devices connected to IP networks back just three years ago in 2018. Building a business network that allows any of those billions of desktops, laptops, servers, mobile devices and more to connect, share information, and function as part of a cohesive seamless company tech ecosystem has been Cisco’s speciality for 30 years. With the training in The Complete 2021 Cisco Certification Training Bundle ($69, over 90 percent off, from TNW Deals), IT pros can earn five major certifications confirming their Cisco mastery, certifications offered and approved by Cisco itself as a true mark of anyone’s networking ability. It starts with the Hands-On with CISCO Modeling Labs 1 and 2 training, a course designed to let students install and configure Cisco’s own networking simulation tool into their computer’s operating system. Armed with that tool, users can then work through real world models and what if scenarios to test their networking abilities. Certifications begin with Cisco CCNP Enterprise ENCOR (350-401) coursework, a baseline body of knowledge including all the major areas a Cisco-qualified admin needs to know, from architecture and virtualization to infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation. Next, Cisco CCNP Enterprise ENARSI (Exam 300-410) gets students ready to be tested on basic old-school routing and switching in a networked system. Then, Cisco CCNP Enterprise ENSLD (300-420) is especially for IT experts ready to start designing enterprise networks of their own. Finally, students can also take the Cisco Certified Technician (CCT) Routing and Switching 100-490 course to increase their skills in networking fundamentals, configuring devices remotely, basic troubleshooting, and recognizing connectivity issues. And Cisco CCNA 200-301 wraps up many of these topics under one omnibus course, offering a new industry standard certification for network administrators, support engineers, and data center operations. Each of these six courses is a $295 value separately, but as part of The Complete 2021 Cisco Certification Training Bundle, they’re all available here at just over $11 per course, only $69 with this deal lasts. Prices are subject to change.
