Cisco Networking at SRJCProgram Overview

Thanks to new technologies, networks are becoming more intelligent, programmable and software-driven. Networking Academy courses support this evolution and expose learners to new concepts and hands-on experiences. Best of all, courses are tied to CCNA certifications—among the most in-demand in the industry, according to IDC. Get started by choosing a course today.

The Cisco Networking Academy™ Program is a comprehensive e-learning program that provides students with the Internet technology skills essential in a global economy. The Networking Academy Program delivers Web-based content, online assessment, student performance tracking, hands-on labs, instructor training and support, and preparation for industry-standard certifications.

Combining instructor-led, online education with hands-on laboratory exercises, the curriculum for the Cisco Certification Training in CCNA Skills Certificate enables students to apply what they learn in class while working on actual networks.

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is a major step in the Cisco career certification pathway. The Cisco Networking Academy teaches the fundamentals of inter-network design, optimization, and security. That is, how to get separated computers and networks to communicate appropriately with one another. Students also learn the basics of router and switch configuration. Networking could be a good fit for you if you enjoy a mix of detailed planning, implementation and business-related matters.
