Free Cisco Instructor Training 2020 Sponsored by Cisco NetAcad and the Institute of Coding

New opportunities for 2020

Last year, we reached over 5000+ educators via the Institute of Coding - offering ITEv7, CCNA1, CCNA2, CCNA CyberOps as well as CyberEssentials, Python and Linux Unhatched.

Following our success from Feb 2020 - we are pleased to announce that we are offering two additional instructor training courses from the OU Cisco ITC.

CCNA3v7 - Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA)
CCNA Security v2

Enrolment ceased on the 3rd of Feb 2020

Eligibility

Unlike many of our previous instructor courses - there is a modest limitation, regarding who may join:

  • You must be already working as an educator
  • You must already be in an active Cisco Academy

Also each course has separate entry criteria:

  • For the CCNA3v7 - you must have CCNA1 and CCNA2 instructor status at the time of course commencement, this is the 3rd of Feb 2020. (if you complete and pass our current CCNA2, you will be eligible).
  • For CCNA-Security, as the cert requirements are changing - we expect that you would have completed any from the following (CCNA1, IT-Essentials, CyberOps) - as an instructor.

The above terms are non-negotiable - please do not waste your time trying to negotiate, as we may otherwise prevent your participation.

Both courses are one time offers - we do not plan to offer either of these in the future.

Will I ever need CCNA4?

In the simplest, most succinct terms - the answer is NO! - The changes presented by Cisco means that anyone with historic CCNA4 credentials will not be at any advantage. Anyone with CCNA1 and 2, are automatically eligible for the new CCNA3v7.

If you already have CCNA3 from any previous version of NetAcad CCNA content - you DO NOT need to retake.

Anyone with the following instructor accreditation CCNA1, CCNA2, CCNA4 is advised to take the CCNA3v7.

Study mode

Both courses will be 100% distance based - there will be no remote teaching. If you require any support - this will be provided via the inbuilt discussion forum.

There will be a series of weekly email updates - telling you when you must submit chapter results, skills based activities and final assessments.

The course will commence Feb20 and end July20. There will be no time extensions, irrespective of circumstance.

Enrolment

Each course is free - the OU, Cisco or the IoC will not seek any personal recompense. This has been independently funded by the Cisco NetAcad CSR programme. The IoC is supporting this, by leveraging the academic time of Andrew Smith to support this opportunity. There are also other community members supporting this effort, to ensure the costs are minimal and benefit for all - the greatest possible.

If you are offered an alternate instructor course from another ITC, we will NOT unenrol you. There is limited administrative overhead, to keep costs at a minimum and free for you. Once you are enrolled, you remain enrolled. Any alterations to your enrolment status must be resolved by the academy taking on your training.

To enrol on either course - we will be admitting you into a nominal Packet Tracer waiting room. During the 3rd of Feb2020 - we will transfer you from the relevant waiting room onto the associated ITC (instructor training centre) class.

Enrol on CCNA-Security - instructor training.

Enrol on CCNA3v7 - Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA) - instructor training
