    640-821 CCNA consists of 45-55 questions over 75 minutes and covers the topics:

  • Planning and Designing
  • Implementation and Operation
  • Troubleshooting
  • Technology ·

    640-811 CCNA consists of 40-50 questions over 60 minutes and covers the topics:

  • Design and Support
  • Implementation and Operation
  • Technology

    Either approach will allow you to successfully become a CCNA after passing the required exams. There are advantages to taking either of the exam tracks and these include:

    Single Exam Approach (640-801 CCNA) Advantages:

  • Only one exam required to become a CCNA and it covers all topics
  • More time efficient than taking two exams
  • More cost effective than taking two exams. Exam cost when taking this approach is $125.00 US versus $200.00 US for the Two Exam approach.


    Who Should Take The Single Exam Approach?

    Take the Single Exam Approach to the CCNA if:

  • You cannot afford the expenses of the two exam approach
  • You are looking to reduce the time spent obtaining the CCNA
  • If you are well prepared for the exam topics on the CCNA exam than the single exam approach is the way to go. This approach is generally recommended for more experienced candidates such as those who have experience with networking technologies.

    Two Exam Approach (CCNA ICND & CCNA INTRO) Advantages:

  • Exam is broken up into 2 smaller sections of CCNA exam topics
  • Allows more time to learn and understand topics of each exam
  • Excellent for candidates new to Cisco technology

    Who Should Take The Two Exam Approach?

    Take the Two Exam Approach to the CCNA if:

  • You can afford the expenses associated with the cost of the two exams
  • You are new to Cisco technologies and networking basics
