courses. This exam tests a candidate's knowledge and skills required to
install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium size enterprise branch
network.
CCNA Recertification
CCNA certifications are valid for three years. To recertify, either pass the
current CCNA exam, or pass the ICND2 exam, or pass any 642 professional
level or pass a current CCIE written exam.
Types of questions
The examination is structured by emphasizing on the questionnaire that has
drag and drop options, multiple choice single answers, multiple choice
multiple answers, simulations and fill in the blank type of questions.
