  5. CNNA vs Cisco Acadamy courses on Network Warrior · · Score: 1

    Trouble a lot of stuff Like DMARCS etc is country specific the phone systems in Europe use different terminology - the wireing regs etc.
    One of the oddest things was some comments on badges on hard harts and work ear - its an arcane bit of labor legislation to do with Union badges in the work place.
    The Cisco approved courses at the academy for CCNA students do cover a lot more on the physical plant side but more from the POV of you are the commissioning guy and how to design a phisical network check the guys pulling cable are doing it right.
    By SEM 4 Cisco expect you to be able to design a small 3-4 site 3-5k user LAN and WAN - this is done as a group project with 3-4 other students.
