YOUR LEARNING SPACES
This course will be delivered in a blended way which means you will receive a mixture of, primarily, face to face tuition with some online classes. When you are on campus you will work from one of our specialist labs. You can supplement your on campus learning by installing some of specialist software onto your home PC or laptop and continue and extend your learning outside the college. Below are some images of our Cisco CCNA equipment and a student using Cisco Packet Tracer, a network simulation package.
Several online platforms will be used to aid your learning throughout your course. You can learn more about them on the Explore Your Platforms page.
