Expanding the Networking Academy Program

Sponsored CurriculumThe Networking Academy Program now includes courses sponsored by IT industry leaders.The program can now provide students with a comprehensive range of Internet Technology skills.




The Key Details




Overview of the SC program

5 courses .

All ‘entry level’ introductory courses.

Each one is a 70 hour ( minimum) course.

Delivered over 6 weeks.

Teaches the theory and a large amount of Skills based practical ‘hands on labs’

Academies can choose which courses they wish to run. These are NOT compulsory………….




Course Delivery

• 30 hours of instruction, including class assessments

• 40 hours lab work

• Total 70-hour course

Hours of Instruction for all courses




Academy Requirements

• Must be a Cisco Networking Academy offering the CCNA curriculum.

• Must have delivered and graduated a semester 1 CCNA student class.

• Instructors must attend training at regional academy that is offering the new curriculum

• Non Cisco CCNA instructors can be trained and then teach the new courses. Such instructors must attend the orientation course at their parent academy, then attend instructor training course.




Instructor Prerequisites

• Must have successfully completed Semester 1 of CCNA.

• Or if new to the program must attend the three day Orientation course.

• Must complete instructor training course üOne course per curriculum – length variesüFast Track option will be available later in rollout for instructors with subject matter experience

In order for an academy to offer the courses – the instructor :-




Instructor Training – why we do it.

With over 10,000 academies globally – for everybody's interest we must have a consistent model of delivery. Cisco does not want bad quality in any program it delivers.

Instructor training is to teach the instructors how to deliver a quality program.

It is not designed to teach people who already are experts in, for example Unix, things they already know very well.

The training teaches more how to deliver the program effectively using the instructor led, e-learning skill based program. Makes instructors familiar with the content and tools we provide to make the students and instructors have a good learning and teaching experience.

We are investigating alternative training models such as distance learning methods.

Java Certification

• Currently Sun has two Java certifications, Programmer and Developer for the J2SE (Standard Edition).

• The Programmer certification tests basic understanding of the language and is entirely exam assessed.

• The Developer certification tests for advanced Java knowledge and comprises a programming assignment and then answering questions about the design assignment.

The Java Fundamentals course prepares students for the ‘Sun Certified Programmer for Java certification





• Typically, employers are looking for experience working on an application, and either a certification or degree.

• The FJP course provides the experience necessary for both; with the JBANK application, students are developing a working business application, and the course is aligned to meet the objectives of the Programming certification exam.

• Individuals with Java experience can serve in programming, designing, and testing object-oriented applications; experience with Java does not dictate a career only as a programmer

follows:IT Essentials II taken along with IT Essentials I will lead to the Server + CertificationIT Essentials II taken along with the Unix Fundamentals course will map to the Linux + CertificationBoth these certifications are offered by CompTIA, and are recognized as an industry-wide standard for measuring proficiency in these two areas




Certifications (cont.)

• The Linux+ certification measures vendor-neutral Linux knowledge and skills

• Target market for the Linux+ certification is any individual interested in demonstrating fundamental Linux knowledge and skills

• CompTIA developed the Linux+ certification, which serves as a stepping-stone towards higher-level Linux certification tracks

Linux+ Standards




• Server+ deals with Industry Standard Server Architecture (ISSA) issues, such as RAID, SCSI, multiple CPUs, SANs and more

• There is currently no other certification in the industry that is vendor neutral

Server+ Standards





• Not all of the Server+ and Linux+ Objectives will be met in IT Essentials II

• The remaining Server+ objectives will be met in the IT Essentials I, version 2.0 (released in Jan. 2003) and the remaining Linux+ Objectives will be met in the Fundamentals of Unix, version 2.0 (released in August 2002)

Fundamentals of Voice and Data CablingFundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling




Fundamentals of Voice and Data CablingFundamentals of Voice and Data CablingFundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling

• 70-hour course on the physical aspects of cabling

• Students will develop skills in reading network design documentation, part list set up and purchase, pulling and mounting cable, cable management, choosing wiring closets and patch panel installation and termination as well as installing jacks and cable testing

• Student to computer ratio - 1:1 for curriculum and 4:1 for labs





• This is a technical career, high skill-high reward career.

• Very relevant in countries investing in upgrading and modernising their communications infrastructure.

• It is estimated that the demand for fiber-optic cabling alone will triple from 500 million US dollars to 1.8 billion by 2005 and 3.2 billion by 2009 (see graphic).

• Skilled cable installers will be needed to satisfy this demand.
