As I shared before, mas ok kung magse-set ka ng goal at gagawa ka ng plano para sa iyong CCNA career or Cisco journey. At kung ang goal mo this year or goal mo for now is to be CCNA certified, this basic information will definitely help. Let’s go.

All in all, lahat ng questions ay may katumbas na 1000 points.
5. Ilang points ang kailangan para makapasa sa CCNA exam?
As mentioned above, total points are equal to 1000 points. Kelangan mo ng 825 points para makapasa. So 825/1000 ang passing score. 🙂
6. Kelan ma-eexpire ang CCNA certification?
Ang CCNA certification ay nag-eexpire every 3 years. Para mare-certify, kelangan mong mag-exam ulit ng CCNA or mag-take ng mga CCNA specialize exam or higher level exam gaya ng CCNP(Switch, Route or Tshoot).
7. Saan pwede mag-training ng CCNA in the Philippines?
Kung ang plano mo ay mag-take ng full CCNA course, you need to enroll in major schools and universities here in the Philippines. Ang full CCNA course ay medyo matagal dahil ididiscuss at pag-aaralan ang bawat chapter ng course.
Kung ang plano mo naman ay mag CCNA bootcamp training, you can check this list of CCNA training bootcamp in the Philippines. Ang bootcamp ay fast-track or fast-phase training na ginagawa lamang sa loob ng 5 araw or 5 weekends(Sat or Sun).
Ang training na ito ang pinaka-practical dahil mas mura at mas mabilis. Makaka-save ka ng pera at time. Pero gaya nga ng nabanggit, ito ay fast-track or fast-phase. Kelangan meron ka ng basic knowledge para mas maging madali para sa’yo.
8. Saan pwede mag-take ng CCNA exam in the Philippines?
Here are the list of accredited CCNA exam centers in the Philippines. Nakikita n’yo sa image sa baba ang first 5 CCNA exam centers in the Philippines, this is for Metro Manila area.
Para sa complete list ng CCNA exam centers, check this link.
9. Pwede bang maging CCNA kahit hindi IT course ang tinapos?
Pwedeng pwede. Kung na-discover mo na hilig mo pala at passion mo pala ang IT at gusto mong maging isang CCNA, kelangan mo lang mag-aral at mag-practice. Then siyempre mag-exam para maging certified ka.
Meron kaming ka-team dati, business course siya pero sa IT field siya nag-focus. Ayun network engineer siya at napaka-husay.
10. Wala bang age limit ang pagkuha ng CCNA at ibang certification?
Wala. As long as gusto mo at as long as kaya mo, go for it.
11. Ano ano bang mga position ang pwedeng applyan ng isang newbie ng IT may CCNA man or wala?
Kung gusto mong tahakin ang field ng computer networking, ito ang ilan sa mga entry level na pwede mong applayan:
- NOC specialist – nasa network command center kayo at nag-momonitor ng mga network at ibang IT issues
- Network technicial – mostly likely nag-ttroubleshoot kayo ng network or maybe nag-iinstall ng mga devices
- Network Admin – nag-mamanage, nag-iinstall, nag-coconfigure, nag-ttrobleshoot kayo ng mga network issues
- Tech Support – pwede ka rin naman mag-tech support pero mas maganda kung “network account” ang mapupuntahan mo para mas mahasa at mas masanay ka sa networking
Yan yung mga karaniwan idol. I know maraming naman at tska iba iba kada-company. Binigyan lang kita ng idea.
12. Paano magandang diskarte sa pag-rereview at pag-take ng CCNA exam?
I already provided this before.
Self-study > Training(online or offline) > Self-study > Exam
Ngayon, each of the phase na yan nasa sayo na kung papaanong diskarte ang gagawin mo. Pero ang pinaka the best from my experience is to create a schedule or study plan and stick to it. Disiplina at determinasyon lang idol!
13. More to come…
Comment or email your questions para ma-update natin ‘to mga idol. Salamats!
Alright mga aspiring Philippine CCNAers, I hope kahit papano ay nakatulong ang maikling article na ito para mabigyan kayo ng idea about sa CCNA exam.
This is just the basic. If you have something to add, paki-comment na lang para maging aware din ang ibang mga readers. Kung may tanong kayo, comment lang din. Hanggang sa susunod mga idol, cheers!
pano po pag self study lang ako, saan ako pupunta para mag take ng ccna exam.
ano po ba yung pearsonvue?
Not sure if you read the Free lessons and all articles there. We also have that one Juan. See here.
Sir,
Exam po ba agad or kailangan po munang magtraining?
Depende idol. As long as you are confident with your skills and knowledge pwede naman exam agad. Kung hindi, mas advisable mag-training or magselfstudy muna . 🙂
nice po sir. as of now parang gusto ko maging cisco certified din kaso i’m not an i.t and me knowledge naman po ako kahit sa computer world e.
is it possible for me to tkae this training and pass the exam?
do you have any reviewer or yung irereview ho ba sainyo ng training center if meron man nun ay 100 % kasama sa examination ng CCNA certification?
thank u a lot sir
Anyone can be Cisco certified kahit ano pang course. Skills at knowledge ang basehan. If you’re a beginner, I suggest self study then enroll on bootcamp before taking the exam. Iba pa rin ung mismong nag-aral ka. I don’t have reviewer but the article on this blog are enough to let you understand the basic and fundamentals.
Ang goal ng blog na ito is to help Pinoy beginners understand the basic and fundamentals para kapag nag-training na sila hindi na sila mag-ooverload sa information. 🙂
Sir, just to Finalize this, we can take the CCNA exam without taking classes is that correct?
Hi Mr. Billy. Ask ko lang kung anung magandang basahin na book or references for beginners pa sa CCNA, be specific po sana. Willing naman ako maginvest for the materials. Mag aral muna kasi ako on my own before enrolling in a bootcamp as you advice. Thanks
Read this blog by heart idol. I’m sure you’ll be ready to combat with CCNA bootcamp. 🙂
ang hassle nmn pala kung macertified na tapos magreretake ulit after 3 years para mrenew edi gastos na ulit ng 15k.
Tama Kyon pero usually kapag nasa IT company or network department ka na, nagproprovide sila ng free training at exams. Kaya hindi mo na proproblemahin un. 🙂
pano yung schedule ng exam? may certain month lang ba? parang twice or thrice a year lang or pag may account ka na sa pearson bibigyan ka nila ng sched, pano? salamat
Ikaw pipili ng sched mo idol Akiko. Once nakapag create ka ng account sa pearson, pipili ka ng date at time pati exam center. Tapos meron ka ipiprint at yun ang ipapakita mo sa exam center sa oras at date na ini-schedule mo. Syempre dapat nabayaran mo din. Hehe
Hi Billy, ask ko lang ung sa type of exam (simulation or lab questions) as in mag ccode ka ba dun? Pwede ba akong umiyak habang gngawa yun? HAHAHAHAHA. =)))) (pwede naman sguro no.)
(Thanks sa pag gawa ng blog na to, will further read your other entries! =)
Hello Nikki,
Yes, bale meron problem na kelangan mo isolve then yung answer is multiple choice naman. To get the answer correctly kelangan mong ma-solve ung simulation. Maglolog-in ka rin sa device na parang kang nag-ggns3 or packet tracer. Minsan isang simulation lab contains 5 questions, to get the answers doon sa mga questions na yun kelangan ma-configure mo ng tama ung simulation. And then sa exam, meron atleast 3-4 simulations at matataas ang points nilang lahat. Hehe
Goodluck. Let me know if you have questions. Cheers!
Hi sir billy pwede pa po ba ako magexam ng version 2 ng ccna .Im not sure kung pwede pa magexam till august 20 2016 pa kasi yung nakaend date sa website ng cisco. Thank you sir!
v2.0 exam is until August 20 2016. Thanks!
Paps advisable ba na pag katpos ng bootcamp training mag exam na agad para fresh pa ang natutunan mo or antay pa ng mga ilang weeks or months? Thanks
Mas maganda makapag exam na agad idol para fresh pa pero sympre depende din kung confident ka na. Mas maganda aral ulit at review after ng training tapos saka exam. Mas ok din kng bago ka mag-training magsched ka na ng exam para yung goal mo is malinaw. Karamihan kasi after training tinatamad or nade-delay na yung pag-exam kaya tuloy nakakalimutan na. Ayun.
Thanks paps more power
paps, after mo mag bootcamp my mga free rview naman ang mga training centers tapus iaassess ka nila kung ready ka na for the exam. tutulungan ka nila makapasa. 😛 goodluck paps
Sir may naka takdang date ba ng exam monthyly or yearly?
Nope. You can take the exam anytime. Thanks!
sir how about if a person failed the exam can he or she take another time? for example a guy take an exam now then failed can he take another exam next week?

I’m an IT graduating student pero di ko alam kung ano ang kabagsakan kung trabaho pagkatapos. I have a great interest in networking pero di ko alam kong itutoloy ko ba ang pagkuha ng certificate, babalik nanaman kasi ako sa pag.aaral taz mahal. 🙂

Hi sir, so ang exam ay umaabot ng 16K+ sa CCNA? Madami po bang bumabagsak dito? What if bumagsak ka pwede kaba mag take ulit? Pag mag take ka ulit same price padin po?
Yes, in pesos 16k++. Pwede after a week or two mag-retake. 🙂
Hi Sir I’m
just wan to ask kung nakapagtraining kana sa IRONLINK? nasa magkanu yung price range nila? interested po kase ako mag undergo ulit ng training although naging certified na ako, pero parang daya kase yung dating dun sa school namin (Ayaw ko na banggitin) although may mga basic na akon alam per oparang kulang kse tlaga then gusto ko din kase makapag abroad using my networking skill. thanks 😀
Nope. Sa MNET ako before pero live pa sila dati, ngaun online na sila. I’m not recommending any ksi hindi ko sila na-try. Para fair sa lahat. God bless!
Good Day sir,
tanong ko lang po ilang training ang dapat ko kunin bago ako mag exam. kasi po naka indicate sa website ng Mapua is apat. CCNA RS introduction to network, RS essentials, Scaling Networks, connecting networks. di pa po kasi ako ganun ka confident sa networking skills ko. need ko po ba tapusin lahat ung module na un before taking the exams?
Salamat po.
Kung modular, apat talaga idol. Ttapusin mo yung 4 modules. Kung bootcamp, 1week lang. 🙂
tanong ko lang sir…ano type po ba ng exam ang dapat etake ..kc may nakikita ako na ccna 200-125 at icdn1 100-125…cisco 1 to cisco 4 kc ang inaaral ko ngayon. and nasa cisco4 na po ako.
There are 2 ways kasi. Either you take 2 exam(icnd1 & icnd2) or 1 exam(composite 200-125) Thanks!
idol, me discount ba ccna book mo ngaun pasok? 😀
balak ko kc mag take ccna.
Good Day Idol,
idol sa exam ba lahat actual? o merong simulation gaya cisco packet tracer, kung meron nman paano ba yun, kung anu ang nasa simulation mu ganun din ba sa actual..kung hindi nman, anu ang kinoconfigure ng isang examiners … idol salamat sa blog mu, malaking tulong ito pra sa nais maging CCNA at sana isa na ako don …tnx again idol billy….
Meron simulations idol, yun ang malaking points sa exam. Mag lologin ka sa “simulator” sa exam at dun mo gagawin yung configurations. It’s like a packet tracer or gns3 inside the exam. 😉
Magkano po yung total fee for the exam ?
Billy, ano mas maganda kunin na exam ICND1 & ICND2 or rekta ng ccna exam?
hi sir, kailan po yung susunod na exam for 2019? or ilang exam lang po sa isang year?
thanks,
ray
Hello ask ko lang po undergraduate po kasi ako ng architecture and balak kong mag take ng ccna. Pwede po ba kong maging it kahit na di ako graduate? Makakakuha po ba ko ng work sa field na yun kahit undergraduate ako?
