    Are there any discounts on training or certification?

    Each Cisco Academy course is divided into chapters (for example, the Cisco CCNA course consists of four semesters, each of which is also divided into chapters). After each chapter, students take an exam on the Cisco Netspace website and receive a grade. The grades are then used to calculate the student's rating. As Cisco Systems' official representative through Cisco Academy, we offer a discount on the industry certification exam, ranging from 20% to 75% (the discount depends on the course and the student's rating).

    There is also the opportunity to receive a 10% discount on tuition for each friend/colleague you refer.

    How does industrial certification work?

    Certification works like this: we, the vendor, train you, and the industry certification exam is administered by independent testing centers Pearson VUE ( http://vue.com/) or Prometric (http://www.prometric.com/ ). Pearson VUE/Prometric provides industry certifications worldwide, ranging from IT to driver's licenses and nursing certifications. After completing the course, a "Request Voucher" link appears in your classroom; clicking it will earn you a discount voucher. You go to the Pearson VUE/Prometric office with this discount voucher and take the exam there. If you pass the exam successfully, you will receive your industry certificate shortly afterward, either to your physical address or by email (you choose the delivery method).

    Why is the CCNA course so long?

    The Cisco CCNA course consists of 280 hours, divided into four 70-hour semesters. Each semester lasts two months.

    Thus, in eight months you will complete the training completely. During this period, we will be able to prepare you for easy passing of the test in Pearson VUE / Prometric. For example, in other educational institutions, accelerated courses ICND1 and ICND2 are read, the total duration of which is 80 hours, this is only 10 working days. We, as teachers of NTUU "KPI", claim that it is unrealistic to prepare a person for the CCNA test in 10 days! At best, you can instill in the student that he knows something and orient him on the material so that he is confident in himself and, if necessary, can find answers to questions on the material.

    If you want to learn the CCNA course faster than 8 months, you can study more often (at your own pace) by attending classes with other groups and accessing the video conference archive, as well as Cisco equipment remotely online XNUMX/XNUMX.

    What is the cost of training?

    We offer the most affordable prices. Similar courses on the market cost between $800 and $3000, with each semester increasing in price.

    Prices for each course can be found in the courses section.
