Hi Everyone,

I'm Matt Saunders, Community Manager for the Learn with Cisco organization at Cisco. Today, our team has announced a major revision to the CCNA (the exams themselves will update in February of 2027 - this announcement is just an announcement of the new topics being published) aimed at helping you to ensure your job readiness, from day one.**

Please review the following blog announcement, and AMA. My colleagues will help answer as many questions as we can over the next few day.

Cisco Learning Network Podcast covering the new updates to the CCNA.

Watch a really great review video on the updates from Wendell Odom.

If you are studying right now, don't stop! These changes will be made to the live exams in February of 2027, so we are giving as early and advance notice to folks as possible. The blog has further information regarding the availability of training, and the scope of the updates.

AMA HTH - Best,

Matt

**Edited with a new link to an interview regarding the changes with the great Wendell Odom. Also moved the go-live date for the new exam of Feb 2027 higher in the post copy, as requested.

***Hi - I've stepped away from this AMA thread for now. My team and I will continue to keep an eye on the post and help to answer question the best we can still. I hope your studies are going well, and wish you the best of luck on your exams!

****Edit: Pasting a reply I used in the comments a couple of times to address the question about book availability:

"I was just watching this video from Wendell about this exact Q: https://youtu.be/erT6FybnRt4?si=d5ZfxxOv7v-lGPJS

In the video, Wendell explains that they're still pretty early in the updating process so he can't commit to a solid timeline now, BUT he thinks roughly around the start of the new year 2027. That is of course pretty close to when the new exam goes live, so if you're thinking that you would like to primarily focus on the new exam and test after it is available in February, you will likely be looking to leverage supplemental materials/other learning providers. Wendell himself has a great channel with a ton of great learning, and if you sign up here, Cisco will also keep you updated as our official resources become available: https://learnwith.cisco.com/ccna-updates.html." ****
