Migrate Students from CCNA v3.1 to CCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration

Student migration guidelines offer flexibility to assist moving to the new, improved curricula

No direct mapping exists between CCNA v3.1 and CCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration

Supplemental material recommendations to fill any knowledge gaps when migrating to the new curricula include topics:

Essential for students to understand to succeed in the new coursesPartially covered or not covered at all in CCNA v3.1Not reviewed again in the new courses

Consideration was given to limit the amount of supplemental review that students need in order to migrate successfully
