Expanding the Networking Academy Program

Sponsored Curriculum
The 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

Session Number


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

Hours of Instruction for all courses

• 30 hours of instruction,
including class assessments
• 40 hours lab work
• Total 70-hour course



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

• 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 varies
üFast Track option will be available later in rollout for
instructors with subject matter experience



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



Session Number



• 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 + Certification
IT Essentials II taken along with the Unix Fundamentals
course will map to the Linux + Certification
Both these certifications are offered by CompTIA, and are
recognized as an industry-wide standard for measuring
proficiency in these two areas



Certifications (cont.)
Linux+ Standards

• 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




Server+ 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




Course Certification Alignment

• 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

70% of a CCNA’s time is spent troubleshooting layer 1
problems !

This course prepares students for the BICSI* level 1 installer certification

*Building Industry Consulting Service International



Fundamentals 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.

Apologies that the data is American !!!!!!!!!!!

Comparison of FVDC and CCNA—
Networking Basics

• The Fundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling is an ideal addition for
Academies already offering the CCNA—Networking Basics course
• It covers cabling in greater depth than the structured cabling project in
CCNA—Networking Basics
• Unlike the structured cabling project, the FVDC course enables
students to seek an entry-level installer position in the expanding
cabling industry

FVDC CCNA Semester 1
