Introducing The CCNA Networking Academy At WLAC
 The Cisco Networking Academy Program is a partnership
between Cisco Systems, education, business, government, and community
organizations around the world. The Networking Academy curriculum centers on
teaching students to design, build, and maintain computer networks. The Program
prepares students for the 21st Century workplace, while serving as a valuable
model for e-learning.
The CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) indicates a
foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking for the small office/home
office (SOHO) market. CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and
operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or
fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, IGRP, IPX,
Serial, AppleTalk, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists.
The CCNA Curriculum at WLAC
The CCNA curriculum at WLAC is structured for intermediate and advance
students. CCNA certification candidates are expected to have: at least one year
of computer science course work completed, one year of hands-one experience
using personal computers, and some exposure to networking operating systems,
such as Windows XP, Windows NT Workstation or Server, Windows 2000
Professional/Server or Windows Server 2003. In addition, candidates must meet
all course prerequisites and enroll in CCNA courses in the predefined order.
CCNA courses are regular semester courses. As a result, for many students the
CCNA curriculum can be completed in one academic year or two semesters. CCNA
candidates can start the CCNA track any semester they wish and are not required
to enter any degree programs. It is strongly advisable for high school students
and non-college graduates to pursue an Associate of Arts degree concurrently.
