- 8. 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.

• 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
