Accelerated NCDA Boot Camp Data ONTAP 7-Mode (ANCDA) Overview:

Accelerated NCDA Boot Camp Data ONTAP 7-Mode (ANCDA) is a 5-day, extended hour bootcamp that expands upon what students learned in the D7ADM course in order to prepare for the NCDA 7-mode certification exam.

Who Should Attend:

• Administrators who provide basic support and perform administrative functions of the Data ONTAP 8.2 operating system running in 7-mode and those seeking NCDA certification.

Accelerated NCDA Boot Camp Data ONTAP 7-Mode (ANCDA) Certifications:

• NetApp Certified Data Management Administrator (NCDA)

Accelerated NCDA Boot Camp Data ONTAP 7-Mode (ANCDA) Prerequisites:

Before attending the Accelerated NCDA Boot Camp, you must have the following:

• Three years of experience in a storage related function, such as storage administrator or field engineer
