Cisco Computer Courses

NOTE:  Students interested in enrolling in the Cisco computer courses – Cisco IT Essentials, Intro. to Networks, and Cybersecurity should see their guidance counselors for an application.

These are are advanced computer classes and are taught entirely online through CISCO’s Network Academy website.  The material’s difficulty level is at the college-level.  Students enrolled in these classes are required to be proficient in using a computer and possess strong reading and math skills.

If you is considering a career in computers, these classes are excellent preparation for you. However, please be aware that these are difficult classes, and that CISCO requires an overall 70% or higher for a passing mark.

Upon completion of these courses, students will have been exposed to all of the material covered on each class’s respective certification exams, and are encouraged to take them. CCNA prepares them for the CCNA certification exam, whereas the IT Essentials class prepares them for the A+ exam.

IT Essentials

IT Essentials (ITE) emphasizes practical experience to help students develop fundamental computer and career skills.  Students will learn how to build and set up a computer and connect it securely to a network.  The course helps students prepare for entry-level career opportunities in IT and for the CompTIA A+ certification exam, as well as, provides a learning pathway to Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching

Introduction to Networks

This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. The principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for computer networking. By the end of the course, students will be able to build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP addressing schemes.

Routing and Switching Essentials

This course describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small network. Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with RIPv1, RIPv2, single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. This concludes the two-course series that provides basic preparation for the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT) industry certification exam.
