Teaching networking fundamentals is an important objective for us, and our CCNA R&S curriculum covers many topics beyond certification. However, staying aligned with the latest certification is very much our priority too. Effective today, your instructors have access to the English version of the CCNA R&S 6.0 Bridging Course. Additional languages of Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish will release in July and August. Effective May 31, you will have access to a free self-paced CCNA R&S 6.0 Bridging Course that covers the new supplemental topics that are included in the new Certification Exams.
New Topics Aligning to Certification
The new CCNA R&S 6.0 Bridging Course topics align to the 4 CCNA R&S courses as shown below:

End-of-Life Dates for Old Certification Exams
If you plan to take the certification exam, we recommend taking the old certification exam before August 20 – it is easier. If you prefer to take the new exam, then please be aware that you must take the new certification exam on or after August 20.
Alternatively, you may also take the ICND1 certification exam immediately so that you gain an extra 30 days to prepare for the old ICND2 certification exam.
 The old Certification Exams will be available for at least 90 days as noted in the table below:
