What to expect from the five-day instructor-led format

The bootcamp is a five-day live, instructor-led program.

Learner studying at a desk while an instructor guides a networking lesson in a bright classroom. The published schedule shows a 09:00 to 17:00 training window for the training days, so the format requires a daytime commitment across five consecutive program days. A pre-course stage is also before Day 1, with access to pre-course materials, a foundation-concepts review, and a baseline self-assessment. That preparation can help you identify the areas that need attention before the live sessions begin.

The five-day sequence is organized as a progression rather than a single review session. Day 1 is Introduction to Networking and Network Fundamentals. Day 2 covers Switching and LAN Concepts, Day 3 covers Routing and WAN Technologies, Day 4 covers Security and Automation, and Day 5 is Exam Preparation and Review. Every day pairs lecture with hands-on labs, so the schedule combines explanation, configuration activities, review, and exam preparation.

Choose on-site or live online delivery

The face-to-face option provides an on-site classroom experience with direct instructor access and peer collaboration. The live-online option uses the same instructors and curriculum through a virtual learning platform, and the live-online format is available from anywhere. This gives you a practical format decision: choose on-site participation if direct classroom access and peer collaboration are important, or choose live online if remote participation better fits your circumstances.

The available information does not specify particular upcoming class dates or locations. Use the schedule and enrollment path to confirm those details before committing. The key scheduling check is whether you can attend the 09:00 to 17:00 window for all five training days and whether the available delivery option matches how you want to participate.

How the bootcamp maps to the 200-301 exam

The program description states that the curriculum is aligned with the latest 200-301 exam outline and covers all six domains of the 200-301 exam across five days. The named progression moves from networking foundations through switching, routing, security, automation, and final exam review. This makes the program relevant to a learner whose immediate goal is structured preparation for 200-301 rather than a broader, undefined networking course.

From networking foundations to switching and routing

The first stage establishes networking fundamentals, including Cisco basics, OSI and TCP models, and IP addressing and subnetting. The associated activities include IP addressing and subnetting practice, basic router, switch, and firewall concepts, Cisco IOS basics, and a device configuration lab with a question-and-answer session.

The next stage focuses on switching and LAN concepts. The topics include VLANs and trunking, spanning tree protocol, EtherChannel, inter-VLAN routing, Layer 2 security, port security, and DHCP snooping. The schedule also includes configuring VLANs and trunking, implementing inter-VLAN routing, and a practice quiz.

Routing and WAN Technologies follow those switching topics. The coverage includes static and dynamic routing, an OSPF and EIGRP overview, VPNs, MPLS, Ethernet WANs, and NAT/PAT basics. The associated activities include static and dynamic routing configuration, NAT/PAT configuration, a practice exam, and question-and-answer review.

Security, automation, and exam review

The later part of the curriculum covers network security and automation. The security topics include access control lists, standard and extended, SSH and password policies. The automation and software-defined networking topics include network programmability and Cisco DNA Center basics. The schedule also identifies security configuration, automation tools, and troubleshooting scenarios as activities.

The final stage is Exam Preparation and Review. It includes full CCNA domain coverage, a practice exam with timed simulation and results review, exam strategies covering time management and test-taking tips, and a next-steps discussion. This progression lets you compare the named subjects with your own preparation priorities. If you need detailed depth for a particular 200-301 topic, confirm that detail before enrolling rather than assuming that every topic receives the same amount of time.

How the daily labs support practical preparation

The bootcamp is presented as a practice-oriented format because every day pairs lecture with hands-on labs. The labs are connected to the subjects in the daily progression, giving you configuration activities alongside the explanations and review work. This can be relevant if you want to practice network concepts during the course instead of relying only on lecture and end-of-course review.

Check the configuration areas covered by the labs

The first day's practical work includes IP addressing and subnetting practice, basic device configuration, and a device configuration lab. The switching and LAN portion includes configuring VLANs and trunking, implementing inter-VLAN routing, and reviewing Layer 2 security topics such as port security and DHCP snooping.

The routing and WAN portion includes static and dynamic routing configuration and NAT/PAT configuration. The later security and automation portion includes configuring access control lists, securing Cisco devices, working with automation tools, and troubleshooting scenarios. These activities give you a checklist for comparing the bootcamp with your own preparation needs.

The available details do not specify the lab equipment, the amount of individual lab time, or whether every activity uses physical hardware. Confirm the practical setup for your selected delivery format if the lab environment is a central part of your decision. The supported conclusion is that hands-on lab activities are included; the specific equipment and lab platform still need confirmation.

What is included and how to request a seat

The enrollment details identify several forms of exam and study support. A $300 exam voucher is included with enrollment, and the package also lists included courseware, a practice engine, and 180 days of instructor access. Included study materials include a CCNA Exam Review Guide described as a comprehensive study guide for exam preparation.

The retake statements describe a free retake. They also state that a learner can receive the course again plus a second voucher at no cost, and that the learner receives a free retake of the full course and a second exam voucher. Confirm the precise eligibility and timing rules for this offer before enrolling, because the available details do not state all of its conditions.

On-site exam support is also described. The program states that Training Camp operates its own Pearson VUE testing center and that learners can sit for 200-301 on site within days of class ending rather than waiting weeks for a public testing appointment. Separate exam delivery support is listed for scheduling and taking the exam. These statements describe an on-site exam option and scheduling support; they do not establish a guaranteed appointment for every learner or every class.

Separate included exam support from the price you still need to confirm

The $300 voucher value and the retake statements describe included exam support, but they are separate from the total price of the bootcamp. One offer states “$300 USD, and your voucher is included in the price of this boot camp,” while another states that a $300 exam voucher is included with enrollment. Confirm how the current offer applies to your selected schedule and delivery format.

The available enrollment information does not provide an exact total bootcamp tuition, specific class dates, or specific locations. It does identify special-pricing availability for government, military, veteran, law enforcement, education, non-profit, and Training Camp alumni categories. The amount and individual eligibility for any special pricing should be confirmed directly.

Use the enrollment path to confirm availability

The enrollment action is to choose a date and format on the schedule page and enroll online. If an organization is paying, the instruction is to request a quote. The pricing path also directs prospective learners to view pricing, schedules, and special offers. Use those actions to confirm the current date, delivery location or live-online option, total tuition, included support, and any applicable pricing category before reserving a seat.

For an individual learner, the decision sequence is straightforward: first check that the five-day, 09:00 to 17:00 schedule works; next compare face-to-face and live-online delivery; then review the named 200-301 topics and lab activities; finally confirm the schedule, tuition, voucher terms, and retake conditions. For organizational enrollment, request a quote with the required delivery format and schedule. The available information supports those enrollment actions without supplying a fixed total price or exact class date.
