FAQ

Common questions from students

Do I need prior experience to start CCNA?
No. CCNA is the standard entry point into networking and doesn't require prior networking experience or certification.
What's the difference between CCNA, CCNA Auto, and AutoCor?
CCNA (200-301) covers core networking fundamentals. CCNA Auto (200-901) builds on that with software development, APIs, and automation basics on Cisco platforms. AutoCor (350-901) is the advanced, core exam for CCNP and CCIE Automation, focused on building and deploying network automation systems.
Do I need to take the courses in order?
We recommend CCNA → CCNA Auto → AutoCor, since each track builds on the last. If you already have solid networking or programming experience, you may be able to start further along — use the "Not sure where to start?" guide above or talk to us about Career Counselling.
How long is each exam?
All three exams — CCNA, CCNA Auto, and AutoCor — are 120 minutes, per Cisco's official exam guidelines.
Can I see the full syllabus before enrolling?
Yes — each course above has a "Download Syllabus (PDF)" link with the full domain breakdown and topic list based on Cisco's official exam blueprint.
Do you help with anything beyond the certification?
Yes. We also offer Resume Making, Professional Profile Creation, and Career Counselling for technical candidates — see our Services page for details.
