Why most CCNA courses don’t work
Most online courses give you content and leave you alone.
You watch a few videos…skip a few days… get stuck…and eventually quit.
Why Summer of CCNA is different:- A clear plan to follow
- Real-world labs to practice on
- People to talk to and ask questions
- A timeline to keep you moving

3. 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.
All lessons from previous weeks - except for the most recent week - are only available if you’ve upgraded your access.
4. What happens if I miss a week?
If you’re on the free plan and miss a week, you can rejoin at any time but you will only have access to that week's content plus the previous week's content. The prior weeks are no longer available.
However, if you pay to upgrade, you’ll unlock all previously released content and labs.
5. What are the labs, and why are they paid?
The labs are hands-on, scenario-based exercises where you apply what you’ve learned.
They use real Cisco IOS, not simulations, and are designed to reflect a real-world networking environments. This is where you gain practical experience.
As for why they're paid, we actually host hardware to run these labs and we only have so much capacity in our data center. There's no realistic way we can make these available for free to every student.

- $175 (Early Bird) if you purchase on or before May 1
- $250 (Standard Price) starting May 2
It’s a one-time payment no matter when you sign up.
7. If I buy the labs later, do I still pay the same price?
Yes. After May 1, the price is $250 no matter when you purchase.
There’s no discount for joining later, so early bird pricing is the best deal.
8. What do I unlock when I purchase the course?
When you upgrade, you get:
- Access to all labs and skills released so far
- Daily live updates from Chuck and Jeremy
- Access to the private community channel
- Access to the course through April 2027 (the live sessions end August 2026)

Most people come for the training - but stay for the community.
11. Is the Summer of 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 4-month roadmap/study plan, live sessions with Chuck & Jeremy, and a private community channel to interact with other learners.
So, this is almost entirely a brand new course for all of us to experience together.
