Fastest Growing ICT Careers BLS, www.bls.gov ICTC, www.ic.gc.ca Curriculum Overview The CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum consists of seven courses, which provides greater flexibility to accommodate different student learning goals and allow instructors to personalize their teaching styles and instructional flows. Students will be prepared to take the Cisco CCENT® certification exam after completing a set of two courses or the CCNA Routing and Switching certification exam after completing a set of four courses. The curriculum also helps students develop workforce readiness skills and builds a foundation for success in networking-related careers and degree programs. Following figure shows the different courses included in the CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum. In each course, Networking Academy™ students will learn technology concepts with the support of interactive media and apply and practice this knowledge through a series of hands-on and simulated activities that reinforce their learning. CCNA Routing and Switching teaches comprehensive networking concepts and skills, from network applications to the protocols and services provided to those applications by the lower layers of the network. Students will progress from basic networking to more complex enterprise and theoretical networking models later in the curriculum. CCNA Routing and Switching includes the following features: Students learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to prepare for the Cisco CCENT and CCNA certification exams, networking related degree programs, and entry-level networking careers. The language used to describe networking concepts is designed to be easily understood by learners at all levels and embedded interactive activities help reinforce comprehension. Courses emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and the practical application of skills. Multimedia learning tools, including videos, games, and quizzes, address a variety of learning styles and help stimulate learning and promote increased knowledge retention. Hands-on labs and Cisco® Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities help students develop critical thinking and complex problem solving skills. Embedded assessments provide immediate feedback to support the evaluation of knowledge and acquired skills.
