"all designed to help networking professionals maintain their edge in an AI-driven era." 👏

This is a very sensible move by Cisco. Updating the CCNA with AI and automation topics clearly shows that modern networking is no longer just about “wiring” — it is becoming the backbone of intelligent infrastructure. ⚡🤖 For everyone currently exploring the OSI model and core networking concepts: fundamentals still matter the most. However, today we also have access to tools and automation that allow us to apply this knowledge far more effectively. It’s a great time to start learning, especially since there is still plenty of time before the new CCNA version arrives in 2027.

Great to see the CCNA certification evolve for the AI era adding automation and scenario-based content keeps this networking credential highly relevant for IT education and workforce transformation. For current students and instructors, how do you see AI shaping the hands-on skills needed most in entry-level networking roles today? #Cybernorse

Are you going to have a bridge exam so current CCNA holders can get the updated version or just have them do continuing education?

An update that will change everything, I trust Cisco

Exciting update! Refreshing the CCNA with AI and automation modules is exactly what the industry needs. As a networking engineering student, it's great to see Cisco adapting its flagship certification to reflect how modern networks actually operate — with more programmability, intent-based networking, and cloud integration. The fact that supplemental modules will be available at no cost on NetAcad is a huge win for students worldwide. Looking forward to exploring the updated exam topics!
