CCNA 640-801 VS  640-802

 Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Cisco’s most popular certification indicates a foundation in networking and the Cisco environment.

One of the most highly sought entry-level certification exam was updated. There are now two paths for CCNA certification: CCNA 640-802 or Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1  ICND1 640-822: CCNA Part 1/CCENT  AND  Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2  ICND2 640-816: CCNA Part 2

According to Cisco, “The 640-802 Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is the composite exam associated with the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification. This exam tests a candidate's knowledge and skills required to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium size enterprise branch network.“

This piece takes a look at the one exam path – the old CCNA exam (640-801) and the current one exam CCNA path (640-802), as well as related developments with Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)..

What is the new content? What has changed? How does the new compare with the old CCNA and CCNP? What remains the same?

I’ve tabulated the similarities and differences in this table below:

It is hoped that this table will give you an idea of the basic differences and similarities in the two versions of the single-exam CCNA, and how both versions of CCNA compares with the CCNP.  Although this is an analysis of the CCNA one exam path, proper interpretation and understanding should help in your certification preparations.
