The competition is held in three rounds and students participate as individuals.

The first two rounds are open on a specific date and time and during Round Two students must be proctored by a Cisco Networking Academy Instructor at their academy or at a designated location (varies by country). Both students and proctors will need to register in the competition.

After registering in the competition, students who advance to Round Two will need to complete the Proctor Information task indicating their proctor from a drop-down list. For a proctor to be listed in the task list, they must be registered on the CCNA competition page.

The Round Two exam passwords will only be mailed to proctors selected in this task. The third round requires the competitor to go to a Cisco office or join a Cisco WebEx session and be on video camera.
