Designing, installing and maintaining computer networks are skills much in demand. Networking is a two-year college Tech Prep program that prepares students to take both the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT) exam and the industry-standard, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam. CCENT is an optional first step toward earning the Cisco CCNA certification which is the foundational certification for networking careers. With Cisco System’s curriculum and hands-on labs, students learn the latest industry networking standards and technologies, including network design, set-up, hardware maintenance and administration.
In addition to this, an introduction to cybersecurity is given, which are the first steps toward the (CCNA Cyber Ops) exam. Students will become more aware of the importance of being safe online, the potential consequences of cyberattacks, and possible career options in cybersecurity.
Students will have the additional opportunity in the *Networking/Cisco Capstone course to receive credit for both in-school and/or out of school learning experiences.
