The Cisco Networking Academy program can help your organization prepare students for meaningful careers.
High quality courses and innovative learning tools prepare students for several career paths, as well as industry-recognized certifications, a passport to the job market.
This program was created by educators, for educators. Cisco offers the courses at no cost to not-for-profit educational institutions.
Instructor advocacy is a vital element in the success of the program.
Networking Academy uses the latest methodology and technology to develop new teaching and learning approaches, to design results-driven educational offerings based on data and feedback received from thousands of individual classrooms.
Students taking our courses not only learn the finer points of designing, building, and operating networks, they also learn soft skills such as organizational management, problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership, which they can apply in their future education and on the job.
Cisco Packet Tracer is far more than just another network simulation tool. It is primarily a teaching and learning software application and an integral part of the Cisco Networking Academy’s comprehensive learning experience.
Packet Tracer supports the majority of protocols and technologies taught in CCNA Routing & Switching and CCNA Security, and can also be used to teach concepts from IT Essentials and CCNP courses.
Innovative features of Packet Tracer help students and teachers collaborate, solve problems, and learn concepts in an engaging and dynamic social environment. Some of the benefits of Packet Tracer include:
Allowing students and teachers to design, build, configure and troubleshoot networks using virtual equipment.
Supporting a variety of teaching and learning tasks such as lectures, group and individual labs, homework and competitions.
Providing a realistic simulation and visualization learning environment that supplements classroom equipment.
Enabling multiuser, real-time collaboration and competition for dynamic learning.
Packet Tracer is a supplement to hands-on lab equipment and is not a replacement for lab equipment. The Networking Academy program recommends the use of physical equipment for hands-on learning. This is a key differentiator relative to other programs. Packet Tracer simulations, which are embedded in the new curricula, are supplemental and designed to provide learning opportunities for environments that are not possible to re-create in the classroom.
Aspire is a simulation-based learning game that challenges students to apply and practice business, financial and technical skills in a fun, simulated networking environment.
The Aspire game provides an environment for students to apply their technical skills in a fun and entrepreneurial way! And this game is underpinned by Packet Tracer.
In the game, students get to execute technical tasks and their decisions affect the level of proficiencies they attain as they progress through various levels of difficulty.
This is yet another innovative way Packet Tracer is being used to blaze into a new frontier of learning with gaming. This is why we get excited by Packet Tracer!

Our current portfolio consists of 13 courses
IT Essentials: PC Hardware and Software —provides an overview of how the internal components of a computer work The course covers laptops and portable devices, assembling/disassembling PC components, wireless connectivity, security, safety and environmental issues associated with installing, configuring and troubleshooting and a PC.
CCNA Discovery (4 courses) —provides an introduction to networking. It teaches networking based on application and helps students develop foundational routing, switching, and WAN knowledge and experience, which can be applied toward entry-level careers in networking for small and medium-sized businesses.
CCNA Exploration (4 courses) —provides an introduction to networking. It teaches networking based on technology. It covers routing, switching, and WAN protocols and theory at deeper levels to help students succeed in networking-related degree programs and a range of professions.
CCNA Security –helps students develop a comprehensive understanding of network security concepts, and gain the knowledge and skills needed to earn the Cisco CCNA Security certification and become entry-level security specialists.
CCNP (3 courses) —the CCNP curriculum focuses on the advanced routing, secure wide area access, multilayer switching, and networking management skills required to implement and maintain converged enterprise networks.
Cisco Packet Tracer — Provides a realistic simulation and visualization learning environment that supplements classroom equipment. Cisco Packet Tracer is a foundational teaching tool for CCNA Discovery and CCNA Exploration, withPacket Tracer activities embedded in the course content. Both curricula include embedded e-doing, which applies the principle that people learn best by interacting with computer-based activities. Interactive learning promotes the exploration of networking concepts and experimentation with tools such as Packet Tracer and Flash-based activities to help students develop a greater understanding of networking technologies. Packet Tracer activities are also available for IT Essentials and CCNA Security.
