Quality of assessments, secured activation feature, placement of new and existing assessments, and the current use of remote proctoring
CCNA v7
In the new Cisco NetAcad courses a lot of work has been done to increase the size of our item banks so that we are able to provide exam forms that vary the questions while still assessing the same key course concepts in a course. This minimizes item exposure and increases the confidence of student scores.
There is variation among the delivered forms to make students feel that they were working on entirely different forms from their classmates (i.e. to reduce cheating).
IT Essentials v7
In the ITE 7.0, certification checkpoint exams were added to assess knowledge from multiple chapters.
ITEv7.0 also had multiple practice final, final and certification practice exams (one for Modules 1-9 and one for Modules 10-14) to align with the certifications.

During the summer a new CyberOps Course will be released focussing on the new CyberOps Associate certification. BiASC is ready to support all Cisco Academies and instructors interested in CyberSecurity Operations.
The CyberOps Associate Course aligns with the new CBROPS 200-201 Certification Exam. The major difference between the previous CCNA CyberOps and the CyberOps Associate certification is the shift in the requirement for two exams to certify to one exam. The new, consolidated CyberOps Associate has been updated to cover the latest fundamentals for entry-level cybersecurity operations job roles (SOC analyst).
The course covers: Security concepts, security monitoring, host-based analysis, network intrusion analysis, and security policies and procedures. This includes some new topics such as: access control models for digital assets, malware analysis and interpretation, identifying protected data, and understanding key SOC metrics to expedite detection and containment of breaches. Networking fundamentals have been removed and are part of the CCNA certification.
