Course Overview
BCIT is an Instructor Training Centre for Cisco Networking Academy and this training is only open to sponsored instructors who are affiliated with an institution that has an active Cisco Networking Academy. Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA) describes the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise networks. The course covers Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies and Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms used for secure remote access along with the introduction of software-defined networking, virtualization, and automation concepts that support the digitalization of networks.
