The Certified Network Administrator and Engineer (CNAE) has the knowledge and skill set required to implement network administration and engineering best practices in modern networks. This professional has sufficient knowledge of network hardware, software, and operations for network administration and engineering. The individual is aware of the networking tools and feature sets available and the capabilities they offer. The CNAE elearning course provides the knowledge required to design, implement, and maintain modern LAN networks. It includes more than 9 hours of learning materials, a practice test, and the certification exam that validates your skills as a CNAE.
The CNAE is a low-stakes, vendor-neutral networking certification, meaning that the certification exam is taken in the web browser within our LMS (learning management system) and it is not dependent on any specific vendor knowledge to prepare for the exam. This compares, for example, to a Network+ certification with added practical knowledge and more advanced skills. There are time constraints on the exam, which limits the ability to locate information during the exam and ensure exam credibility. The exam consists of 40 questions and, given that several questions will include scenarios on which the question is based, you are given 90 minutes to take the exam. A score of 70% or greater is a passing score and earns you the CNAE certification.
