A necessary step in becoming a successful Network professional is tackling the Cisco Certified Network Associate exam. After administering CCNA training courses for many years to hundreds of students, TrainACE’s lead instructor, James Younger, has found that a big trip up for many is understanding the topic of subnetting. James has created a tutorial introducing viewers to the basics of subnetting. Having a strong foundation in this skill will not only set you up to pass the CCNA certification exam, but also for a long, successful networking career. Once you have completed this “Introduction to Subnetting” video, you can further your knowledge by downloading another free, more Advanced Subnetting Video. These easy to follow videos will help explain subnetting in terms that will make sense to viewers.
