Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cisco Networking Academy?

It is a program designed to prepare students to pass the CCNA EXAM (Cisco Certified Network Associate Examination).  

The Program is comprised of a 4-semester sequence of courses.  On the Woodbridge Campus they are offered so that a student can complete two semesters per college semester in two 8-week sessions:

First 8 Weeks               ITN 154 Network Fundamentals--Cisco

First 8 Weeks               ITN 155 Introductory Routing--Cisco

Second 8 Weeks           ITN 156 Basic Switching and Routing--Cisco

Second 8 Weeks           ITN 157 WAN Technologies--Cisco

After completing all four courses, students will register at a Sylvan site to take the Certified Cisco Network Associate Examination.
