CCNA Bootcamp Course Outline
All sections apart from section 1 (i.e. 2-12 inclusive) will entail practical lab work relating to the technology in question. Emphasis will be placed on the technology as it relates to real-world
environments as well as the CCNA exam objectives.
Each chapter will conclude with a challenging set of questions testing the student's comprehension of the material. Each day of the bootcamp will commence with a questions and summary session relating to all material that was covered the previous day.
