Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) 642-813 SWITCH 1.0: Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks

Over the last 50 years, businesses have achieved improving levels of productivity and competitive advantages through the use of communication and computing technology. Over the past 20 years the enterprise campus network has evolved, becoming a key element in this business computing and communication infrastructure. The increasing complexity of business and network requirements creates an environment where a fixed model no longer completely describes the set of capabilities and services that constitute the campus network today. The Cisco Life-cycle Services model uses a structural approach which is key to ensuring that the network always meets the requirements of the end users. This course covers the tools required to understand how campus networks can be built, what models can be used, which practices should be avoided, and which principles should guide you to ensure a successful implementation. The Cisco Life-cycle Services approach and its impact on network implementation are also detailed.

How is each course taught?

All courses are online and self-paced, meaning you do it in your own home, in your own time, at your own pace.  Each lesson is pre-recorded allowing you to pause, fast-forward, skip sections, or go back to another lesson if you need to.  The lessons are multi-media based, which means video and audio are used to teach the lessons.  Most lessons are also interactive, prompting the learner to participate.  This might involve answering on-screen questions, participating in tasks, and using simulators as if you were using the real software program.

How long will it take me to complete each course?

As mentioned above, our courses are self-paced.  Some people finish their course faster than others.  If you choose to only do one of the certification courses from this bundle, then it will take you less time than if you do two or three or all of them.  No matter what though, you will always have 12 months to complete your course.

What do I need?                                   

All you need is an internet connection and a PC.  While most of the lessons work on MACs, we recommend you use a PC for the best performance.  Certain parts of the course may not display properly on older MACs.  Once you’ve logged into your course, you may be prompted to down certain free plugins such as Java.  Just follow the on-screen prompts.

Established IT professionals with a good understanding of networking and Cisco technology, good computer literacy and a solid technical acumen.
