IT Essentials Network Academy Instructor Training CITX 3100

​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. Instructor training for IT Essentials can be completed entirely in a distance education format provided the students have access to a PC that they can disassemble and troubleshoot. The IT Essentials: PC Hardware and Software curriculum provides an introduction to the computer hardware and software skills needed to help meet the growing demand for entry-level information and communication technology (ICT) professionals. The curriculum covers the fundamentals of PC technology, networking, and security, and also provides an introduction to advanced concepts. Students who complete this course will be able to describe the internal components of a computer, assemble a computer system, install an operating system, and troubleshoot using system tools and diagnostic software. Hands-on labs and Virtual Laptop and Virtual Desktop learning tools help students develop critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills. Cisco Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities promote the exploration of network and networking security concepts and allow students to experiment with network behaviour. 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 may require a three hour in-person skills-based assessment to be performed in a lab environment.
