Cisco stage detail
Where this stage fits
CCNA-level networking knowledge supports both the Enterprise Infrastructure and Security lines. The exact training direction is selected based on the student’s goals, and Enterprise Infrastructure is the usual public recommendation.
Who this path is for
This informational stage page is for students developing or reviewing Cisco networking foundations before selecting a complete training line.
Prerequisite area
Contact LaneCert to discuss existing knowledge and determine whether the NA foundation is the appropriate entry stage.
Remote learning and scheduled lab practice
- LaneCert supports a hybrid training model that combines instructor-guided remote learning with scheduled hands-on practice using physical networking and infrastructure equipment at its Plano campus. Delivery arrangements are confirmed before enrollment.
- For a beginner entering the Enterprise Infrastructure line, networking foundations and CCNA preparation provide a starting point for guided configuration and troubleshooting. Discuss existing knowledge before choosing an entry stage.
How the NA stage supports both lines
- Enterprise Infrastructure uses the foundation for later CCNP Enterprise and CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure preparation.
- Security combines CCNA-level networking knowledge with security foundations before its NP and IE stages.
- The student’s goals help determine which complete line to follow.
