Cisco Certified Support Technician Networking with the 100-150 Exam Included
Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Networking Certification
CCST Networking (100-150) is an entry level Cisco certification that proves you understand how networks operate, including the devices, media and protocols that carry network communication. It is built for people starting in IT and networking, and it is recognised as a first step toward the CCNA certification. Passing it earns the Cisco Certified Support Technician, Networking credential.
What this course covers
You build foundational knowledge across networking standards and concepts, the TCP/IP and OSI models, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and subnets, cabling and endpoint connectivity, basic routing and switching, troubleshooting methodology and help desk best practice, and foundational security including firewalls and home wireless security. You also practise real support tasks such as running diagnostic commands, capturing packets with Wireshark, and reading device status lights.
Who it suits and where it leads
CCST Networking suits beginners, career changers and help desk staff who want a recognised first networking certification. After CCST Networking, the natural next step is the CCNA certification course. If your interest is support rather than networking, look at the CCST IT Support course, and for security fundamentals see the CCST Cybersecurity course.
