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. The Instructor training prepares instructors to teach the Cisco Networking Academy CCNA-Security course. This training gives insight into classroom management, activation of courses on the NetSpace, administering skills assessments, and leveraging instructor resources. It is recommended that students have some network security experience or training such as CompTIA Security+ prior to attending this course. The course is delivered online with students studying the materials and completing the chapter quizzes at their own pace. Upon completion of the self-study component, there are scheduled sessions with an instructor that concentrate on instructional techniques, technical clarification, and challenge lab activities. Students must complete the course within 12 weeks of registration. Note: This course requires a three hour in-person skills-based assessment to be performed in a lab environment.
