Associate Certifications CCNA Routing and Switching The CCNA Routing and Switching certification covers skills necessary to administer devices on small or medium-sized networks. This certification requires the ICND1 100-105 and ICND2 200-105 exams. Examinees may take the exams separately or the composite 200-125 CCNA exam. It exists generally as a prerequisite to more advanced certifications, such as the CCNP exams and Cisco Design certifications, e.g. CCNP, CCDA, CCDP, etc. Pearson VUE test centers conduct these exams. All CCNA-certified individuals specialize by technology. Previously, specialized tracks required passing and maintaining a CCNA certification, but with the expiration of the 640 series tests this is no longer the case. As of autumn 2015, all CCNA Certifications have no prerequisites. Starting 24 February 2020, all CCNA specializations will be consolidated. The 200-301 Cisco Certified Network Associate exam will be the only exam available at CCNA-level. Valid for 3 years. CCDA Cisco-Certified Design Associate (CCDA) certified engineers can design switched or routed networks of LANs, WANs and broadband services.
