The CCNA is finally fixed — and this update changes everything.
For years, the CCNA was broad but shallow, packed with cloud theory, wireless concepts, virtualization, automation buzzwords, and topics that didn’t actually help new network engineers get hired.
But Cisco has rebuilt the CCNA blueprint… and this time, they got it right.
In this video, I break down exactly what Cisco changed, why it matters, and how the new CCNA finally focuses on real hands‑on skills like configuring, verifying, and troubleshooting — not just describing concepts.
