Network Professionals Gain Blended Cisco CCNA Certification
QA, the UK’s largest independent provider of training and consulting, today launches a blended learning programme for Cisco’s Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification for network professionals. The cost-effective approach uses different delivery media from industry leaders and a proven blended learning framework to create a comprehensive training programme in this highly valued qualification.
Cisco skills regularly appear on industry lists of the most in-demand skills*. Certified network professionals will ensure companies gain a greater return on network investment and reduce network “downtime”.
Delegates will benefit from a programme that accommodates different learning preferences and skills levels and is flexible to work commitments, allowing completion within three to six months.
Recognised as an authority on blended learning, QA’s blended programme for Microsoft’s MCSA certification was awarded Global CTEC Solution of the Year 2003 by Microsoft.
The blended CCNA is the latest blended certification from QA’s successful blended programmes that include Microsoft’s MCSA and MCAD certifications and project management (PMP) certification from the Project Management Institute.
QA’s blended CCNA programme offers leading online and classroom Cisco training from Comstor UK, SkillSoft and Toolwire. A unique combination of intensive classroom workshops, that highlight workplace based scenarios, and an array of online components including e-learning, virtual labs and mentoring, are fully integrated and managed within QA’s blended learning framework.
