If you're looking to start your career as an IT networking specialist, you may be interested in discussing customized CCENT prep classes with the Educational Directors at Varsity Tutors. We can find you a CCENT course instructor who can cater sessions to meet your individual needs. CCENT classes are flexible and convenient. Reach out to Varsity Tutors or continue reading below to learn more about if a personalized CCENT prep class is right for you.
Earning a Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician credential qualifies you to build, maintain, and support small networks. It's the first step towards earning Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) designation, and it can help you stand out with potential employers. A CCENT class can focus on the areas of the exam where you need the most support. Your tutor can help you understand basic network topology, how to establish connectivity between devices on a network, how to ensure that devices on the network are secure, or whatever else you feel like you need to know better. If you're not sure where you should be putting your efforts to be ready for exam day, your CCENT course instructor can assess your current understanding of test topics to identify any learning gaps. From there, your tutor can customize a study plan that addresses your areas of opportunity effectively.
The CCENT verifies that you have adequate capabilities in several different areas. Here's what you can work on during CCENT courses:
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, students will be able to:
- Describe network fundamentals and build simple LANs
- Establish Internet connectivity
- Manage and secure network devices
- Expand small to medium sized networks
- Describe IPv6 basics
Your CCENT prep courses aren't just focused on helping you learn the ins and outs of the networking responsibilities you'll have when you earn a CCENT designation. Tutors want to see you perform at your best, so they can share test-taking strategies specific to the CCENT and help you develop stronger overall study skills. You'll have 90 minutes to get through a range of 45 to 55 questions, so you'll need to develop your time management skills to complete the exam accurately and within the time constraints. Strategies to eliminate incorrect answers so you can more easily isolate the correct ones are also an effective tool during a test. Your CCENT class can help you build these skills and others so you feel calm and confident walking into the test.
The CCENT exam, called Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 (100-105 ICND1), features five sections with different weights. Here's a breakdown of the sections you can study for during a CCENT prep class:
Topic | Percentage of Test |
1.0 Network Fundamentals | 20% |
2.0 LAN Switching Fundamentals | 26% |
3.0 Routing Fundamentals | 25% |
4.0 Infrastructure Services | 15% |
5.0 Infrastructure Maintenance | 14% |
At Varsity Tutors, we want to make meeting with your CCENT prep course instructor as easy as possible. We'll put in the work to identify a tutor for you who has the right combination of skills and availability so you can get the help you need at a time that fits into your schedule. We also offer the Live Learning Platform, an online tool that lets you meet face to face with your instructor over the Internet while having access to a virtual whiteboard and other convenient tools.
If you're ready to get started in your one on one CCENT class, reach out to Varsity Tutors today.

...chemistry with emphases in mathematics and environmental science, I am meticulous about understanding the material itself as well as understanding why the material applies to you in your own personal life. With this in mind, I hope I can assist you not only in bettering your grades, but also understanding the world around you.... The techniques would vary from student to student. For some students, a logic-based derivation of the material works best (mathematical proofs, scientific research, etc.), while for others, practical application in their everyday lives works best (using mathematics to do taxes, science behind vaccines, etc.), while still others work best with rogue practicing of problems (working problems at the end of chapter, creating new problems, etc.).
