FREQUENTLY ASKED

Cisco Course in Bangalore — Common Questions

What's the right Cisco certification for me to start with?▾

If you have zero networking background — start with CCNA (1 month, ₹12,390). It's the foundation for everything else and the entry credential most Bangalore network roles ask for. If you already have CCNA and 1-2 years of network engineer experience — go straight to CCNP Enterprise (4 months). If you have CCNP and 3+ years experience — you're ready for CCIE. About 90% of our students start with CCNA.

Is the CCNA → CCNP → CCIE ladder still relevant in 2026?▾

Yes — Cisco still dominates Bangalore enterprise networking (~70% Cisco, 15% Juniper, 10% Arista, 5% other). The ladder remains the standard career path: CCNA opens entry-level doors, CCNP opens senior network engineer roles, CCIE opens architect and lead-engineer roles. The biggest 2024 change: Cisco made CCNA Automation a separate cert — pure-CLI engineers are commoditised; engineers who add Python automation skills earn 30-40% more on the same role band.

How much does the full Cisco ladder cost (course fees) at Networkers Home?▾

CCNA: ₹12,390 (1 month). CCNP Enterprise: ₹55,000 (4 months). CCIE (per track): ₹1,20,000-1,80,000 (6 months full-time, includes lab access). For freshers wanting placement guarantee, our 8-month flagship Network Engineering program (₹1,20,000) bundles CCNA + CCNP-level depth + automation + paid 4-month internship with Placement Guarantee* — most cost-effective fresher path.

Can I skip CCNA if I have a CS degree?▾

Cisco doesn't formally require it, but practically — no. CCNA covers fundamentals (subnetting, OSI/TCP-IP, basic routing/switching) that CCNP assumes you know cold. CS-graduates without networking background typically struggle with CCNP modules without CCNA prep first. About 90% of our CCNP students have CCNA — the 10% without typically need extended CCNP timelines.

How does Cisco CCNA compare to Cisco CCNA Automation — which should I take?▾

CCNA 200-301 (the original) is broader — covers all networking fundamentals. CCNA Automation (newer, 2024) is narrower — focused on Python, REST APIs, model-driven programmability. Most freshers should take regular CCNA first (it's the credential 90% of JDs ask for), then add CCNA Automation in 6-12 months as a salary-uplift specialisation. Pure CCNA Automation without standard CCNA is uncommon in Bangalore JDs.

Will I get hands-on access to real Cisco equipment for all the courses?▾

Yes — every Cisco-track student gets 24×7 dedicated rack access via vpn.networkershome.com. Equipment scaled to credential level: CCNA gets Catalyst access switches + ISR routers; CCNP adds Catalyst 9000-series + advanced ISRs/ASRs; CCIE adds Nexus, ASA/Firepower, ISE, and full enterprise topology kits. We refresh equipment generations (currently IOS XE 17, NX-OS 10, ASA 9.x) within 6 months of Cisco's GA dates.
