Recommended Pathway
NACDA Complete Training Path
Networking + Cybersecurity (32 Weeks)
Most students choose the complete NACDA training pathway, which combines both programs into a single structured career preparation program.
Because cybersecurity professionals must understand the networks they protect, beginning with networking fundamentals dramatically improves success in advanced cybersecurity training.
Program Duration: 32 Weeks
Bundle Tuition: $4,300
Enrollment Deposit: $450
Monthly Payment Plan: $550 / month
Students who complete the full pathway gain:
• A strong foundation in network architecture
• Hands-on cybersecurity defense experience
• Practical technical lab experience
• A portfolio of real networking and security exercises
• Preparation for industry certifications such as:
- CompTIA Network+
- CompTIA Security+
- Cisco CCNA (conceptual preparation)
Students enrolling in the complete training pathway receive discounted tuition compared to enrolling in both programs individually.
Why Most Students Choose the Full Path
Cybersecurity professionals must understand how networks are built before they can effectively defend them.
The NACDA Complete Training Path ensures students develop both networking expertise and cybersecurity defensive skills, creating a much stronger foundation for technology careers.
For this reason, the 32-week pathway is the recommended option for most students.
Enrollment
NACDA accepts a limited number of students per training cohort in order to maintain a hands-on learning environment and provide direct instructor support.
Students interested in NACDA training should begin by submitting the enrollment application.
