THINK OF CCNA @ SNIST

About Cisco Networking Academy

In partnership with schools and organizations around the world, the Cisco Networking Academy program delivers a comprehensive learning experience to help students develop ICT skills for entry-level career opportunities, continuing education, and globally recognized career certifications. The curricula also help students build 21st century skills such as collaboration and problem solving by encouraging practical application of knowledge through hands-on activities and network simulations.

Networking Academy teaches ICT skills to students from virtually every socioeconomic background and region of the world. Students gain the skills needed to pursue networking careers in a variety of industries such as technology, healthcare, financial services, fashion, entertainment, and more. Students also gain access to a global support group, career developments tools, and social networking resources to help them become architects of the human network.

Cisco @ SNIST

The Cisco Networking Academy Program (CNAP) is a revolutionary partnership between Cisco systems and educational institutions around the world. The Cisco Networking Academy at SNIST has been successfully established, since June 2018. SNIST is preparing students to meet the demands and enormous opportunities of the information economy while creating a competent and talent pool for building and maintaining local, national and global business networks.

The CCNA curriculum prepares students to plan, install, operate and to troubleshoot TCP/IP, Ethernet, Routed and Switched networks with some remote connectivity.

CCNA Routing and Switching

Course Description

CCNA Routing and Switching teaches comprehensive networking concepts, from network applications to the protocols and services provided to those applications by the lower layers of the network. Students will progress from basic networking to more complex enterprise and theoretical networking models later in the curriculum.

There are four courses in the recommended sequence:

Introduction to Networks
Routing and Switching Essentials
Scaling Networks
Connecting Networks

In each course, Networking Academy™ students will learn technology concepts with the support of interactive media and apply and practice this knowledge through a series of hands-on and simulated activities that reinforce their learning.

Introduction to Networks	Introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. The principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum. By the end of the course, students will be able to build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP addressing schemes.
Routing and Switching Essentials	Describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small network. Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with static route, RIPv2, VLAN, NAT, ACL, DHCP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, and perform device discovery, management and maintenance.
Scaling Networks	Describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a large and complex network. Students learn how to configure routers and switches for advanced functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and VTP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Students will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement DHCP and DNS operations in a network.
Connecting Networks	Discusses the WAN technologies and network services required by converged applications in a complex network. The course enables students to understand the selection criteria of network devices and WAN technologies to meet network requirements. Students learn how to configure and troubleshoot network devices and resolve common issues with data link protocols. Students also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement IPSec and virtual private network (VPN) operations in a complex network

Curriculum Features and Benefits

Networking Academy courses are designed to develop the breadth and depth of knowledge and skills that employer’s desire.
Students are prepared for Cisco and other highly valued IT certifications to increase employability and salaries.
Courses can be implemented immediately, as self-paced options or part of certificate or degree programs. No textbook purchases required. Free tools include online assessments, teaching guides, and classroom management tools.
Students learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to prepare for the CCENT and CCNA certification exams, networking related degree programs, and entry-level careers.
The language used to describe networking concepts is designed to be easily understood by learns at all levels and embedded interactive activities help reinforce comprehension.
Courses emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and practical application of skills.
Multimedia learning tools, including videos, games and quizzes, address a variety of learning styles and promote increased knowledge retention.
Hands-on labs and Cisco Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities help students develop critical thinking and complex problem solving skills.
Embedded assessments provide immediate feedback to support the evaluation of knowledge and acquired skills.

About Cisco Packet Tracer

Cisco Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulation program that allows students to experiment with network behavior and ask “what if” questions. As an integral part of the Networking Academy™ comprehensive learning experience, Packet Tracer provides simulation, visualization, authoring, assessment, and collaboration capabilities and facilitates the teaching and learning of complex technology concepts.
Packet Tracer complements the Networking Academy curricula, allowing the students to understand the complex technical concepts and networking systems design easily. Students can build, configure, and troubleshoot networks using virtual equipment and simulated connections, alone or in collaboration with other students.

Most importantly, Packet Tracer helps students create their own virtual “network worlds” for exploration, experimentation, and explanation of networking concepts and technologies. The simulation-based learning environment helps students develop 21st century skills such as decision making, creative and critical thinking, and problem solving.

Possibility of Enhancement in Employability Skills

Technical Skills and Competencies

The students are learning about Network fundamentals, Routing and Switching, Scaling of Networks and Connecting Networks in detail. This course emphasizes critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration and practical applications of skills. In addition, CCNA Certification improves the confidence towards placement opportunities.
