Networking Basics is the first of the four courses leading to the certified network associate (CCNA) certification. CCNA 1 introduces networking academy students to the network field. Sales Manager Andy Massey started the course back in September 2005 and will complete the first module by February 2006.
On the course, Andy said “I wanted to go on the course because it would be a benefit not just for Electrastar but our also our existing customers and potential growth in the coming years".
The course focuses on network terminology and protocols, local-area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), open system interconnection (OSI) modules, cabling, cabling tools, routers, router programming, ethernet internet protocol (IP) addressing, and network standards.
The Networking Academy program continually raises the bar on e-learning and educational processes. Through community feedback and electronic assessment, the Academy program adapts curriculum to improve outcomes and student achievement. The Academy infrastructure is designed to deliver a rich, interactive, and personalized curriculum to students around the world. The Internet has the power to change the way people learn, work, and play, and the Cisco Networking Academy Program is in the forefront of this transformation.
