What is Fall into CCNA?

Summer of CCNA showed us how helpful a clear study plan, hands-on practice, live check-ins, and an active community can be for learners working toward the same goal.

That’s why we’re bringing the experience back as Fall Into CCNA. You’ll follow a guided CCNA study path designed to help you stay consistent, practice what you learn, and build momentum before Cisco changes the CCNA exam in February.

Whether you’re starting fresh, continuing your progress from Summer of CCNA, or returning after time away, you can join us and study alongside the community all season long.

Fall Into CCNA follows a structured path through networking fundamentals, configuration, troubleshooting, and practical application.

  • Each week includes:
  • A clear Monday–Friday roadmap
  • Assigned Academy videos and ebook lessons
  • Practice and review activities
  • Hands-on labs based on your access
  • Progress milestones and weekly checkpoints
  • Live opportunities to ask questions


You still choose when to complete the work. The plan removes the uncertainty around what to study next.

YOU GOTTA TRY THE LABS

Training is powerful on its own, but real transformation happens when you apply what you learn by getting your hands on the keyboard and following along.

With our labs you'll work on:

  • Real Cisco operating systems (not simulations)
  • Real-world scenarios used in actual environments
  • Guided configuration exercises
  • Troubleshooting scenarios
  • Browser-based labs with no downloads or setup
The labs give you a place to configure systems, make mistakes, troubleshoot problems, and apply what you learned.

Cisco Labs powered by:

Testimonials

Here’s what students shared about learning with us during Summer of CCNA.

"If you were even the SLIGHTEST BIT curious of how the internet functions, and how you can go from being frustrated that your online game is lagging to learning WHY its lagging and how you can potentially fix it, that's reason enough to take this course!

On top of learning so much about network engineering/IT and completing their interactive labs; being able to learn alongside other students in the Discord server, and gaining tons of valuable IT career advice has made this course worth it! Jeremy, Chuck, and Zach along with so many amazing people at NetworkChuck Academy that make this course possible are truly the best, and for that, I am truly grateful for this Summer of CCNA!

I cannot wait to take my CCNA exam this upcoming Fall! <3"

"IT is my second career. I have been trying to prepare for CCNA and was looking for exactly like this course. I must say that I am so glad that this course came up. What I liked about the course was that it was just not theory. Every time we learned something, we applied it to a real-life situation. That's how I learn. I learned things that I couldn't comprehend earlier. For example I was earlier struggling to understand how to do subnetting for class A or B. It was taught so efficiently that I will always remember it. Thanks to Jeremy for being a wonderful teacher and big thanks to Network Chuck for offering this course."

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do I get each week?

Each week you’ll receive:

  • Structured study plan/roadmap 
  • A new week's worth of lessons (video + ebook) 
  • Exam-style practice questions
  • Real world, scenario-based labs on Cisco OS
  • Live check-ins with Jeremy on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
  • Access to a dedicated community channel

2. How does the weekly content release work?

New content is released every week. That week’s lessons are available along with the previous week's lessons.

3. What happens if I miss a week?

Don’t worry, you haven’t fallen out of the program. Jump back in with us wherever we are, and catch up on anything you missed when you can. You’ll still have access to all of the content and labs that have been released, so there’s no need to rush or feel like you have to start over. Just get back in and keep moving forward.

4. What can I expect with the labs? 

The labs are hands-on, scenario-based exercises where you apply what you have learned.

They use real Cisco IOS environments rather than simulations. You will work through guided configurations and troubleshooting scenarios designed to help connect the lessons to practical networking work.

The labs give you a safe place to configure systems, make mistakes, investigate problems, and apply the concepts yourself.

5. How much do the labs cost?

There is no separate lab fee. Labs are included with your Fall Into CCNA access.

6. What do I unlock when I purchase the course?


  • Access to all labs and skills released so far
  • Live updates from Jeremy
  • Access to the private community channel
  • Access to the labs through November 2027 (the live sessions end December 2026)

Side note: Purchasing the Fall Into CCNA lab experience is not the same as a NetworkChuck Academy subscription, which grants you access to all of our paid courses.

7. Will I get interaction with instructors?

Yes. The current plan includes:
  • Live check-ins with Jeremy on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
  • Two 90-minute live Q&A sessions each month with Jeremy

8. Is there a community or support system?

Absolutely. You’ll have access to a dedicated community of learners where you can:

  • Ask questions
  • Get help when you’re stuck
  • Stay accountable
  • Learn alongside others on the same journey

The community supports the learning experience, but students are still responsible for completing their own lessons and labs.

9. Is the Fall Into CCNA course the same as the paid CCNA course in the NetworkChuck Academy?

No, this is a substantially new experience with revamped content in a brand new ebook format. We're using the same videos as the CCNA course available to NetworkChuck Academy paid subscribers, but we're supplementing every video (literally hundreds of them) with all-new text-based content to make the course more engaging and fun.  

Plus, you'll get a 3-month roadmap/study plan, live sessions with Jeremy, and a private community channel to interact with other learners. 

10. Will this actually help get me a job?

Fall Into CCNA does not guarantee employment, interviews, certification, or an exam-passing result.

The program is designed to help you build networking knowledge, practice configuring and troubleshooting Cisco environments, and develop a more consistent study routine.

CCNA is a globally recognized Cisco certification that can support career paths involving networking, infrastructure, IT support, cloud, and cybersecurity. Its value will depend on your experience, goals, local job market, and how you apply the skills you develop.

11. How much time will this take to complete?

You can join late, catch up, and move at your own pace—but to get the most out of this program, you should plan for:

  • Time commitment: ~1–2 hours per day
  • Schedule: Monday–Friday
  • Program dates: September 14th – December 11
  • Workload: Guided lessons + hands-on labs
  • Difficulty: Beginner-friendly, builds over time

Consistency is what makes this work.

👉 Stay on track, put in the time, and you’ll build real networking skills you can actually use.

12. Is the CCNA Still Worth It in 2026?

Short answer: Yes, more than ever.

The tech world is evolving fast, but one thing hasn’t changed: everything still runs on networks.

Cloud, AI, and automation are not replacing networking. They are built on top of it.

  • Cloud runs on networking: AWS, Azure, and GCP depend on core networking fundamentals
  • AI needs infrastructure: Data has to move, systems have to connect, and networks make that happen
  • Automation requires understanding: You cannot automate what you do not understand
  • Demand is growing: CCNA-related job postings have increased by 22% year-over-year

The tools are changing, but the foundation is not.

👉 If you want a career that lasts, not just something trendy, networking is still one of the smartest places to start.
