Institution Education Level
- To help manage the program and serve you better, Cisco are aligning our Education Level designations with the ISCED-97 framework developed by UNESCO and used by the OECD. This international framework will allow you to provide information about your institution based on the typical starting age of your students, the length of the program of study, and the goal for which you are preparing your students.
- The framework contains two types of information: a general category that indicates the “level” of the program and a type which indicates the goal of the program.
- First, you must determine the general category that best fits your institution: Lower Secondary, Upper Secondary, Post-Secondary Non-Tertiary, or Tertiary Education. These categories are determined based on the typical starting age of students and the approximate length of the program.
- Next, within the general category you must choose the type (I, II, or III) of program that best fits the Cisco Academy at your institution. These types are based on the goal of the program, namely what you are preparing your students to do next. Please note that for Tertiary Education this second level of detail is based only on the length of the program.
Academy Support Center (ASC)

- ASCs exist to provide your academy baseline services to enhance sustainability.
