Cisco Network Academy courses:

Cisco Networking Academy is a global education program that teaches students how to design, build, troubleshoot, and secure computer networks for increased access to career and economic opportunities. The Networking Academy provides online learning material, interactive tools, and hands-on learning activities to help individuals prepare for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Networking careers in virtually every type of industry.


Networking Academy delivers a comprehensive, 21st century learning experience to help students develop the foundational ICT skills needed to design, build, and manage networks, along with career skills such as problem solving, collaboration, and critical thinking. Students complete hands-on learning activities and network simulations to develop practical skills that will help them fill a growing need for networking professionals around the world.

 

  • CIS201 - Network Fundamentals - This is the first of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technologies and to help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks.  It uses the OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the application, network, data link, and physical layers.  The principles and structure of IP addressing and fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced.  Labs use a "virtual Internet environment" consisting of servers, routers, and switches to allow students to analyze real data within a controlled network environment.  Packet Tracer (PT) simulation software activities help students analyze protocol and network operation along with practicing network design and configuration. At the end of the course, students build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling; performing basic configurations of network devices, including routers and switches; and implementing IP addressing schemes
     
  • CIS 202 - - Routing Protocols and Concepts - The second of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology, and to help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). This course describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers, and explains the principles of routing and routed protocols.   Students analyze, configure, verify, and troubleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF and EIGRP.   By the end of this course, students will be able to recognize and correct common routing issues and problems.  Each chapter walks the student through a basic procedural lab, and then presents basic configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting labs.   Packet Tracer (PT) virtual networking software activities reinforce new concepts, and allow students to model and analyze routing processes that may be difficult to visualize or understand.)
     
  • CIS203 - LAN Switching and Wireless-  The third of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology, and to help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). This course describes the architecture, components, and operation of LAN switching and wireless networking. It explains the principles of LAN switches, switching topologies, switching protocols, wireless LAN devices, wireless LAN topologies, and wireless security.   Students get hands-on experience analyzing, configuring, verifying, and troubleshooting wireless networking devices; switches; and switching protocols such as VLANS, VTP, STP and VLAN tagging. By the end of this course students will be able to recognize and correct common LAN switching and wireless networking issues and problems.  Each chapter walks the student through a basic procedural lab, and then presents basic configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting labs. Students will reinforce new concepts by accomplishing activities using Packet Tracer (PT) virtual networking software that allows students to model and analyze networking processes.
     
  • CIS204 - WAN Technologies - This is the fourth of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology and help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). The primary focus of this course is on accessing wide area networks (WAN). The goal is to develop an understanding of various WAN technologies to connect small to medium-sized business networks. Topics covered during this course include: WAN converged applications; Quality of Service (QoS); WAN connectivity using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Frame Relay protocol, and Broadband Links (Cable, DSL, VPN); WAN security concepts including types of threats, how to analyze network vulnerabilities, general methods for mitigating common security threats and types of security appliances and applications; Principles of traffic control and access control lists (ACLs); Configuring Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP);  IPv6 addressing concepts; and using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM)  Graphical User Interface  to configure router security and implement IP addressing services; Throughout the course students learn how to detect, troubleshoot, and correct common Enterprise network implementation issues.

Important Note:

Students enrolling in the classes listed below require successful completion of Cisco Networking Academy classes CCNA1 - CCNA4 or possess a current CCNA certification

 

  • CIS205/ CIS206 - CCNP ROUTE -  CCNP ROUTE is the fifth level of Cisco Networking Academy courses and one of three courses leading to the Cisco Certified Networking Professional designation.  CCNP ROUTE enhances students' skills necessary for implementing, monitoring, and maintaining routing services in an enterprise network. Students will learn how to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions, using a range of routing protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 environments.   Topics covered n the course are EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), Multi-area OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing protocols; Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) redistribution; secure routing solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers; and an introduction to IPv6, IPv6 addressing and routing, OSPFv3, IPv6 tunneling, and IPv4 to IPv6 translation.  This is a lab-intensive course providing students with hands-on experience by performing labs and case studies using Cisco networking devices
     

  • CIS207 -[Next Session is Spring 2012]- CCNP SWITCH - CCNP SWITCH is the sixth level of Cisco Networking Academy courses and one of three courses for the Cisco Certified Networking Professional designation.  The course covers topics that teach students how to implement, monitor, secure, and maintain network switching solutions in converged enterprise campus networks. The course also covers the secure integration of VLANs, WLANs, voice, and video into campus networks. Topics covered in the course include: Multilayer Switching, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Switch Security Techniques, Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN),  EtherChannel,  Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), Inter-VLAN Routing, Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Virtual Redundant Router Protocol (VRRP), Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Quality of Service (QoS), and IP Multicasting .  This is a lab-intensive course using Cisco networking devices with comprehensive labs that emphasize hands-on learning and practice to reinforce configuration skills.
  • CIS209 -[Next Session is Spring 2012]- CCNA Security- The Cisco CCNA Security course is designed for students seeking career-oriented, entry-level security specialist skills. This course equips students with both the technical knowledge and skill experience needed to prepare for entry-level security specialist careers. The CCNA Security curriculum blends classroom hands-on experience using Cisco routers and switches and an online e-learning solution. CCNA Security aims to develop an in-depth understanding of network security principles as well as security tools such as: protocol sniffers/analyzers, TCP/IP and common desktop utilities, Cisco IOS Software, Cisco VPN client, and Web-based resources. The CCNA Security curriculum prepares students for the Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS) certification exam (640-553), leading to the CCNA Security certification.
