The
Cisco Academy Program Through the Cisco Networking Academy Program, students can learn the information needed to prepare them for the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) and Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) exams. This certification positions them for immediate openings in a talent hungry job market. In a nutshell, the Cisco Networking Academy is a complete program on the principles and practice of designing, building and maintaining networks capable of supporting national and global organizations. Cisco provides course work for a complete range of basic through to advanced networking concepts, from pulling cable through to complex concepts as subnet masking rules and strategies. The program uses Regional Academies as hubs, each of which supports up to ten Local Academies. These Regional Academies teach the teachers who oversee programs at the Local Academies under their jurisdiction. The Regional Academies funnel input to Cisco on topics such as individual academy performance, curriculum quality and effectiveness and student progress. The format for the classes reflects the content -- interactive lessons stored largely on the classroom's Cisco server. The Academy design also accommodates diverse learning styles. For those who learn by reading, text is available. More-visual learners can focus on the course materials, extensive graphics, and QuickTime movies. To promote development of the personal skills that underpin successful careers, projects require students not only to resolve technical issues, but also to successfully address network users needs. Local Academies receive mentoring and technical support from the Regional Academies and are backed by SMARTnet services, a service and support program that provides around-the-clock access to assistance from Cisco's Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and the Cisco Connection Online (CCO) Web site, plus major software and maintenance releases, product documentation updates and next-day delivery of replacement parts. The Cisco Academy Program at Southeast Arkansas College currently (2002) consists of the following courses which are a part of the Computer Network Technology program.
