Cisco Systems, Inc., based in San Jose, California, is one of the
world's leading manufacturers of high-performance LAN and WAN products
such as routers, switches, and hubs, and sponsors this program at
ACC.
The Cisco Networking Academy program prepares students to design,
install, and maintain small to medium-sized local- and wide-area
networks. The program consists of four courses of five credits each.
Classes meet once or twice per week for discussion, testing, and
lab activities. Students who successfully complete the four courses
will have the knowledge and skills needed to pass the Cisco Certified
Networking Associate (CCNA) exam.
Because the Cisco curriculum is online, you should have Internet
access from home and an email account. In addition it is recommended
that prospective Cisco students be comfortable using a command-line
interface. Some computer hardware experience will be helpful, although
not required.
The Cisco program is intense and demanding; it is not for the casual
student or computer beginner. Individuals who are new to the college
environment are advised to begin with some introductory computer
courses to sharpen their time-management and study skills. We also
recommend that prospective students either have some practical experience
with networks or have completed an introductory networking course
such as CIS 200, Local Area Networking Concepts.
