Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every domain of the official Cisco CCNA 200-301 blueprint: Network Fundamentals (20%), Network Access (20%), IP Connectivity (25%), IP Services (10%), Security Fundamentals (15%), and Automation & Programmability (10%). Each lesson maps to a blueprint topic so you always know what's left.

120 minutes, around 100 questions. Mix of multiple choice, drag-and-drop, and simulations. $300 USD at a Pearson VUE test center. You schedule and pay Cisco directly. We don't sell the exam, we get you ready for it.

Free: a few lessons, a few labs, and the first practice exam. Enough to know if the platform clicks for you. Paid: the full path, every lab, every practice exam, the certificate, and lifetime access.

8 to 14 weeks at one hour a day. From scratch, plan 4 to 6 months. You keep lifetime access either way, so you go at your pace.

Lessons, quizzes, and practice exams: yes, anywhere. Hands-on CLI labs: better on desktop.

OCG is a textbook. Boson is a question bank. Packet Tracer is a simulator. Each solves one piece. We bundle structured lessons, hands-on labs in a real CLI, spaced quizzes, and full-length exams into one CCNA path. No stitching three tools together.

When you finish the path, you get a PingMyNetwork completion certificate to put on LinkedIn. To be clear: this is not the official Cisco CCNA. That one you earn at Pearson VUE. Our path is built to get you there.

30 days. Use everything: lessons, labs, exams. If it's not for you, email us, full refund, no friction.
