This is the first course in the CCNA training program. It is designed to prepare you for semesters 2,3 and 4 in the CCNA program. If you feel that you are struggling in the course, sit down and discuss the matter with your professor, rather than precipitously dropping the class. You will most likely find that things are not as bad as you may have thought they were.

If you are having trouble with the English language, see your professor and he can arrange for you  to take your quizzes in Spanish or other languages.
