The way to become a CCNA is to pass one little test(CCNA composite exam 640-802). Then-proof- you are a CCNA.(Dont you wish it were that easy?)
However, Cisco has a two-step process that you can take in order to become a CCNA that may or may not be easier than taking one longer exam.
The two-step method involves passing the following:
- Exam 640-822: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices 1 (ICND 1)
- Exam 640-816: Introduction to Cisco Networking Devices 2 (ICND 2)
