Cisco Academy


cisco logoJohn Kelly Technology Colleges’ Cisco Networking Course trains and certifies students to design, build and maintain networks preparing students for the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (C.C.N.A.) examination.

As Information Technology continues to grow at an exponential rate easy and affordable training in the design, building. and maintenance of networks will be required.

The Cisco Networking Academy Programme enables colleges like ours to provide students with the necessary training to become part of this expanding field, enabling them to obtain a highly marketable qualification. The training course is for Post 16 students (between 5 and 8 hours per week delivered over one or two years approx. 280 hours tuition).

  • Full time enrolled J.K.T.C. students who may take the course to prepare for an additional qualification.
  • Full time enrolled students who opt to take the Cisco course in conjunction with a package of related IT professional courses. These students could be “gap” year students.
  • Part time fee-paying adult students

The Cisco Networking Academy Programme provides the opportunity to prepare for the first level of certification: the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA).
