CCNA Training FAQs

Common questions about the Modern CCNA 2.0 course at Sama Tech Institute Kenya.

The new CCNA 200-301 v2.0 exam places a much heavier emphasis on automation, programmability, and AI-driven network operations. While core routing and switching remain, you will now learn about Agentic AI, Ansible, Python for networking, and infrastructure as code. Our Modern CCNA 2.0 course is fully updated to cover these new v2.0 topics comprehensively.

No prior experience is required! Our CCNA training is designed for beginners. We start with the fundamentals of IP addressing, cabling, and basic network concepts before moving to advanced switching, routing, and automation. If you are completely new to IT, we recommend starting with our CCST Networking course, but many beginners successfully jump straight into CCNA with our 1-on-1 support.

The official Cisco CCNA 200-301 exam costs $US 300 (plus applicable taxes), which you can pay directly to Pearson VUE or redeem using Cisco Learning Credits. Our course fee of KES 25,000 covers the comprehensive training, lab access, and exam preparation, but does not include the official exam voucher unless specifically bundled.

Absolutely! Practical lab work makes up 60% of our CCNA course. You will configure and troubleshoot real Cisco routers and switches, as well as use industry-standard simulators like Cisco Packet Tracer, GNS3, and EVE-NG.
