Essential Cisco Networking Academy Information
We are a Cisco Networking Academy. This means we get our
curriculum from Cisco, and we are monitored by Cisco. We are
currently offering CCNA classes, and starting in spring we will
begin to offer a CCNP class. The CCNA classes are CSIS
112,
113,
212, and
213.
They are offered in 8 week and 16 week formats. They both contain
the same information it's just the 8 week class meets
twice a week while the 16 week class only meets once. The 8 week
class is targeted at people who already have a background in
computers and can handle the faster pace. The CCNP classes are 16
week only, and the course numbers are CSIS
216,
217,
218, and
219.
The entire curriculum is online. You can access it from anywhere
you have an Internet connection. You may buy a textbook if you
want, but it's not required. The only book we require is the lab
companion workbook, which contains all the hands on labs. All
the tests are also online which may be taken anywhere except
the final. There is also a skills based final at the end of each
semester to test your configuration skills as well as your book
knowledge. A case study is required in semesters 2, 3, and 4
where you work in teams to complete a project. The case study is
meant to prepare you for the hands on final. At the end of semesters
2 and 4 you may take a voucher exam. If you pass (70% or higher),
you get a voucher from Cisco for half off their certification exam.
All instructors have their CCNA certifications as well as their
Cisco Certified Academy Instructor (CCAI) certifications. We also
have a lab tech to have the lab open before class to give students
additional lab time if needed.
