The main aim is to\ngive these candidates a strong fundamental knowledge about varied networking\nconcepts and components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years Cisco has developed new certifications in\nvarious areas of technology and the latest update in their list of\ncertifications will help you validate your skills and prove yourself in the\never changing and rapidly growing IT landscape. Previously CCNA was divided\ninto multiple tracks like security, routing and switching, wireless, data center,\ncollaboration, cloud, service provider and industrial and they had different\nexams to gain individual skill validation. All the above tracks will now be\nretired in 2020 and be replaced with one CCNA exam- CCNA 200-301.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new course is designed to groom networking professionals for associate level IT jobs validating wide array of knowledge and skills. The new CCNA focuses on networking and security fundamentals while also covering automation and programmability. The new Cisco certification track looks like shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.bluemap.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Certification-track-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens to existing CCNA Certified\/Preparing candidates?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me throw some light on this topic, but before that let us categorize candidates in two batches- the first batch comprises of CCNA certified candidates and the second batch comprises of candidates preparing for current CCNA certification. Candidates who are already certified will continue to hold their certification and it will expire organically after a period of 3 years. The candidates who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluemap.co\/blog\/preparing-for-ccna-certification-exam\/\"><strong>preparing for existing CCNA certificatio<\/strong><\/a><strong>n<\/strong> will have to clear the examination before the certification retires &#8211; before 24 February 2020.
