More about the Program
The Cisco Networking Academy Program teaches students to design, build, and maintain computer networks. The Academy curriculum covers a broad range of topics, from basic networking skills such as pulling cable to more complex concepts such as applying advanced troubleshooting tools.
The curriculum is designed to be hands-on and interactive in order to help students develop their problem-solving skills and nurture a lasting interest in networking technology. As much as possible, the curriculum is also vendor-neutral. While Cisco equipment is used to practice and reinforce certain concepts, students gain broad-based knowledge on the operation of networks, the differences between various types of networking products, how to design and troubleshoot networks, and other general topics.
