CCNA Discovery

The new Cisco Press Learning Guides will complement and supplement the CCNA Discovery courses by combining the textbook with the labs in one book per course. The books focus on readability, study aids, pedagogy, and practice. Each of the books provides tutorial content that reinforces and supplements the corresponding online curriculum. Each book will also contain the hands-on labs for the course plus additional labs from the Cisco Press authors to strengthen the learners’ understanding of the course materials.

These books are 8.5" x 11" paperbacks with CD-ROM.

CCNA Exploration

Two types of books support each course within the CCNA Exploration curriculum. The two book formats support each course with flexible learning and study tools.

Companion Guides are portable desk references of the Cisco Networking Academy Program course material that students can use anytime, anywhere. Companion Guides are designed to reinforce online course material, helping students focus on important concepts and organize their study time for quizzes and exams.

Labs and Study Guides, a format introduced in 2006, provides students with a convenient, complete collection of course lab exercises PLUS supplemental exercises for each of the Networking Academy courses. The Study Guide sections provide learning exercises. The course labs are designed to give students hands-on experience in a particular concept or technology. The supplemental labs from the authors provide additional hands-on practice as well as more advanced challenges.
