Structured instruction
Find a Cisco Networking Academy
Use Cisco's Academy Locator to find nearby, online, or hybrid academies that offer structured courses and instructor support.
An honest preparation stack
Use CertLuna as your practice layer, not your only course.
CertLuna alone is not sufficient preparation for the CCNA. It is a focused assessment and practice platform, not a replacement for a structured curriculum, instructor guidance, the official Cisco blueprint, or open-ended hands-on network practice.
- Structured instructionBuild concepts in the right order with a complete curriculum.
- Official scopeUse Cisco's blueprint to decide what belongs in your plan.
- Deliberate practiceUse CertLuna to test, correct, measure, and revisit your knowledge.
- Open-ended labsConfigure and troubleshoot networks without hints or predetermined clicks.

Instructor-led training

Cisco Learning Locator lists virtual and classroom offerings from Cisco and authorized Learning Partners. Compare delivery, schedule, and cost before enrolling.
Official scope
Build from the exam blueprint
The live CCNA exam remains v1.1 through February 2, 2027. Cisco's published v2.0 blueprint applies when that refreshed exam begins on February 3, 2027.
Open-ended practice
Rebuild and troubleshoot complete networks
Use Packet Tracer for accessible simulation and CML for Cisco virtual network environments. Recreate configurations without hints and verify the result from end to end.
Balanced study workflow
Turn every objective into a repeatable learning loop.
- 01
Choose the correct blueprint
Match your target exam date to the official Cisco exam version, then turn every listed objective into a study checklist.
- 02
Learn each objective in context
Use a structured academy or authorized course to build the concepts before testing recall.
- 03
Practice with CertLuna
Use Theory, corrections, CLI practice, WLC labs, Topic Statistics, and the Mistake Notebook to identify and revisit weak areas.
- 04
Rebuild it without guidance
Configure and troubleshoot the same concepts in Packet Tracer, CML, or physical equipment without copying a prepared solution.
- 05
Explain and verify
Use show commands, packet flow, documentation, and plain-language explanations to prove why the network behaves as expected.
- 06
Retest after a delay
Return to weak objectives later. A correct answer remembered immediately is not the same as durable exam readiness.
Independent preparation
