Internetworking Technician
Certificate of Recognition
A Certificate of Recognition provides documentation of the students successful participation in “a four term curriculum teaching basic networking concepts and a certification earned by those who pass a test on the concepts learned in that curriculum” as outlined by CCNA™ (Cisco Certified Network Associate) program.
This fast track program would allow non-matriculating students to participate in the CCNA program, without having to complete an ATA, meet prerequisites, or follow other rules, pertaining to the current Networking program.
Not all courses listed are offered every quarter. Please see an appropriate faculty advisor or Division Dean for course sequence and schedule details. A faculty advisor must approve the program for degree/certificate completion.
