YOU GOTTA TRY THE LABS

Training is powerful on its own, but real transformation happens when you apply what you learn.

  • 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 Fall Into 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

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the course really free to join?

Yep! You can enroll in Fall Into CCNA for free and get access to the weekly training content including a 4-month roadmap/study plan, videos & ebook lessons, practice exam questions, and two 90-minute live sessions per month with Chuck and Jeremy. 

If you choose to upgrade, you also get access to real-world labs, daily live updates, a private community channel, and access to the course after November 2026.

2. What do I get each week?

Each week you’ll receive:

  • Structured study plan/roadmap 
  • 2 weeks' worth of lessons (video + ebook) 
  • Exam-style practice questions
  • Access to the 90-minute Q&A sessions with Chuck and Jeremy (this is twice a month)


Students with the upgraded experience will get access to lab scenarios, daily live Q&A with Jeremy & Chuck, access to a dedicated community channel, and access to the course through November 2027.

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.

6. How much do the labs cost?

Labs are included.

7. 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 November 2027 (the live sessions end November 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.

8. Will I get interaction with instructors?

Yes. You’ll get:
  • Live check-ins with Jeremy 3 times per week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.


  • Two live 90-minute sessions each month where you can ask questions and interact directly with Jeremy and the NetworkChuck Academy Team.

9. 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

Most people come for the training - but stay for the community.

10. 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 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.

11. Will this actually help get me a job?

We cannot guarantee job placement after this program, but we can guarantee we will teach you the technical and soft-skills you will need to be successful in your career in information technology.

Not only is the CCNA globally recognized for building real technical expertise, it’s also one of the most requested and respected certifications employers look for in network engineers, IT support specialists, and cybersecurity professionals.

If you’re serious about breaking into IT or leveling up your career, this is where you start.
Don’t just learn networking, prove you can do it.

12. 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 – November, XX
  • 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.

14. 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
  • Employers still ask for it: There are 5,000+ job listings in the U.S. alone that mention CCNA
  • 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.
