Cisco Expands Networking Academy Program, Names NCC as New Partner

Cisco Systems would further enhance its networking curriculum program by providing more advanced technology and security.

The company has also expanded the number of regional networking academies in the country with the recent designation of the National Computer Center (NCC) as the 11th academy.


Part of the state-owned NCCs role is the delivery of information and communication technology (ICT) related education programs to colleges and universities.

The Cisco Networking Academy program which has produced more than 834 Cisco Certified Networking Associats (CCNA), is a curriculum for training students and in-transition workers to design, build and maintain computer networks.

Students are prepared for industry-standard certifications such as CCNA and Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP).

Cisco Systems Philippines country manager Luichi Robles said that with NCC as a regional academy focusing on provincial universities and colleges, the Cisco Networking Academy program would be available in all 16 regions in the country.

"Together with NCC, Cisco is honored to be able to help provide the people in Mindanao with an equal opportunity to gain access to advanced IT skills," said Robles.

There are more than 140 Cisco networking academies in the country with more than 22,000 students enrolled. All eight IT curricula have been rolled out across the country.

The schools operate independently but are authorized to use Cisco-provided materials and equipment and assisted by Cisco in evaluating the results of teaching and curriculum.

NCC director-general Angelo Timoteo M. Diaz de Rivera said that the Cisco Networking Academy program fits into the NCC mandate of optimizing the use of ICT in the government for the delivery of public services
