Cisco: a widely used tool for enterprise networking and cybersecurity

Cisco remains, in 2026, a widely used tool vendor for enterprise networking, perimeter security and audio-video collaboration. Routers, switches, firewalls, SD-WAN solutions, Webex, UCS servers, Data Center infrastructures: mastery of Cisco products constitutes a highly demanded skill at operators, network integrators, banks, international organisations and large administrations. In Geneva, Lausanne and across French-speaking Switzerland, private banks, headquarters of international organisations, hospitals and large industrial companies structure their network teams around CCNA and CCNP-certified profiles.

Following a recognised Cisco training opens access to highly valued roles: network engineer, network administrator, security engineer, collaboration engineer, network architect, DevNet network developer. Cisco certifications are among widely used and widely expected in network job descriptions. Investing in a CCNA or CCNP certification sustainably enhances your profile in a segment where network expertise remains tight, particularly on the security and SD-WAN perimeters.

ITTA offers more than 60 Cisco training courses covering all product families: enterprise networking, data center, security, collaboration, DevNet and associated certifications. Each session is built around hands-on labs on real Cisco equipment and Packet Tracer or CML simulators, with to enable personalised support.

Whether you are a network engineer, administrator, security engineer, collaboration profile or architect, our Cisco training in Geneva and Lausanne provides the practical skills expected on the Swiss market to pass your target certification and access the most sought-after Cisco positions.

Cisco training families covered by our catalogue

Cisco CCNA and CCNP Enterprise (enterprise networking)

Enterprise networking remains the historical heart of the Cisco catalogue. Our CCNA (200-301) training lays the network basics (switching, routing, security, automation, programmability). The CCNP Enterprise deepens advanced skills with ENCOR (350-401), ENARSI (300-410) and SD-WAN (300-415). These training courses suit network engineers driving a Cisco equipment estate in production. The Cisco enterprise network sub-domain regroups these training courses.

Cisco CCNP Data Center

The Cisco data center covers UCS (servers), Nexus (data center switches), ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) and HyperFlex solutions. Our catalogue covers the CCNP Data Center and its specialisations, particularly useful to engineers driving a Cisco data center. The Cisco Data Center sub-domain regroups these training courses.

Cisco CCNP Security and security solutions

Cisco occupies a major place in perimeter cybersecurity and zero trust with Cisco Secure Firewall (formerly ASA and Firepower), Cisco Umbrella (DNS security), Cisco Duo (MFA) and Cisco SecureX. Our catalogue covers the CCNP Security and its specialisations for network security engineers. The Cisco security solutions sub-domain regroups these training courses.

Cisco CCNP Collaboration and Webex

Cisco audio-video collaboration covers Webex Meetings, Webex Calling, Cisco audio-video terminals and the UC ecosystem. Our catalogue covers the CCNP Collaboration and Webex training for engineers driving a Cisco collaboration infrastructure. The Cisco Collaboration sub-domain regroups these training courses.

Cisco DevNet: automation and programmability

Cisco DevNet is the certification family dedicated to automation, programmability and DevOps applied to networking (NetDevOps). Our catalogue covers DevNet Associate and DevNet Professional, particularly useful to network engineers automating configuration and operations via Python, Ansible and Cisco APIs. The Cisco DevNet sub-domain regroups these training courses.

Build your Cisco path according to your profile

A network newcomer or career changer follows CCNA (200-301) to acquire the basics. A confirmed network engineer progresses to CCNP Enterprise (ENCOR then ENARSI or SD-WAN). A security-oriented engineer chains CCNA then CCNP Security. A Webex collaboration profile follows CCNP Collaboration. A data center engineer follows CCNP Data Center. A network developer adds Cisco DevNet Associate then DevNet Professional for the automation dimension. A network architect combines several specialisations for a transverse vision. Our pedagogical team guides you towards the sequence suited to your role and level.

Cisco and related skills

Cisco training fits into a broader IT ecosystem. The systems and networking sub-domain covers complementary Linux and infrastructure training. Audit and cybersecurity training brings CompTIA Security+, CISSP and EC-Council certifications, complementary to CCNP Security. Cloud computing training covers Azure and AWS, naturally integrated with a modern hybrid Cisco network. The containerisation and orchestration sub-domain brings Kubernetes, deployed in conjunction with Cisco ACI in some architectures. Automation and IaC training covers Ansible and Terraform, essential building blocks of NetDevOps complementary to Cisco DevNet.

Cisco trends in 2026

Several evolutions are shaping the Cisco ecosystem in 2026. SD-WAN remains a major topic in multi-site deployments and the transformation of traditional WANs. Cisco AI for Networking and AI observability via ThousandEyes are gaining importance. Cisco security evolves with Cisco XDR, the zero trust architecture and native integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). NetDevOps automation via Python, Ansible and Cisco APIs becomes an expected skill on the network engineer side, which values the DevNet family. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current company practices.

Cisco training in Geneva, Lausanne and online

All our Cisco training courses are available on-site in our Geneva and Lausanne centres, as well as in interactive virtual classroom with a certified trainers live. Our sessions are organised in 5-week cycles, which makes registration fast and planning smooth for working network engineers. Each session includes hands-on labs on real Cisco equipment or via Packet Tracer and CML simulators. Customised corporate training is also possible at your premises, in Geneva, Lausanne, Vaud and across French-speaking Switzerland, with a programme adapted to your internal stack (equipment, IOS versions, ACI platforms, SD-WAN, Webex).

FAQ

Which Cisco certification to choose to start?

The CCNA (200-301) is the natural entry for any network profile, beginner or career changer. This certification covers the essentials: switching, routing, basic security, automation. For a confirmed security profile, CCNP Security is the target. For a collaboration profile, CCNP Collaboration. Our pedagogical team guides you according to your role and current level.

Is network experience required before CCNA?

No. The CCNA is designed for early-career network profiles or career changers. Good general IT ease and an interest in analysis facilitate learning. Profiles completely new can follow an introductory training before CCNA.

How long does CCNA preparation take?

The CCNA training lasts 5 days on-site or virtual. Prior IT experience facilitates preparation.

Are your Cisco courses available for companies?

Yes, the entire Cisco catalogue is available in-house, in Geneva, Lausanne and in virtual classroom, with a programme adapted to your internal stack (Cisco equipment, IOS versions, specialised platforms). Our team builds the specifications with you and organises sessions according to your calendar.
