Formation d'instructeurs netacad - 2020

Netacad est un programme interactif de formation qui propose des contenus en lien avec de nombreuses thématiques de l'IT telles que l'infrastructure, la sécurité, la programmation et les systèmes d'exploitation.

L'accès que les académies netacad peuvent proposer à leurs apprenants nécessite que les instructeurs qui dispensent le contenu disposent d'une accréditation.

Les instructeurs accrédités se voient bénéficier de plusieurs atouts pour déployer une formation flexible au regard du profil de leurs apprenants: cours en ligne multilingues, évaluations alignées sur les contenus, préparations de cours, dont les supports de projection et les laboratoires pratiques. Le contenu et la formation bénéficient d'une mise à jour régulière et sont internationalement reconnus. Par ailleurs, les accréditations ont une validité mondiale.

En Wallonie, le programme se verrait accéléré si davantage d'instructeurs étaient accrédités. Soutenu par Digital Wallonia et par Cisco CSR, BiASC est en mesure de proposer à de nombreux instructeurs de participer à un programme d'accréditation, et ce, à des conditions particulièrement intéressantes, sans frais dans la plupart des cas.

IT Essentials, CCNA et CCNA security sont les programmes ciblés par cette action d'intensification.

Les profils de formateurs ciblés sont des formateurs liés à une académie netacad existante, des enseignants du secondaire, du supérieur, mais aussi des anciens étudiants ayant finalisé un parcours scolaire à finalité informatique.

• 

During the spring season of 2020 BiASC will organize activities and workshops to prepare NetAcad instructors for the new curriculum. Also, we will take part in NetAcad Days at Cisco Live Barcelona and at the Cisco Offices in Amsterdam, Brussels and Iceland. 

It is strategically important that Networking Academy Instructors can train their students for the certification level to make sure they are empowered with up to date skills and ready for the job market, thus increasing their employability.

Instructors attending the bridging workshops and the "Be Netacad" conference on 24 April (or equivalent) will be ready to teach the new materials of CCNAv7. Workshops are organized at eight different dates.  It is possible to specifically propose a date and location for groups of 6 attendees.

Depending on the situation three languages may be used: Dutch, English and French.

Additional information

CCNAv7 BRIDGING COURSE

The three workshops cater for all NetAcad instructors who need a bridging course to get updated on the new topics and skills. All instructors registering for the workshops will be given access to the CCNAv7 Bridging Course and to the Emerging Technology Courses. 

Instructors accredited to teach CCNA 1-2 only will be able to teach courses 1 and 2 of the new CCNAv7, but they will lose Certification Alignment. The new CCNAv7 consists of three new courses. This means that ITC Training for only one course is now needed for CCENT Instructors to reach full CCNA level. Additionally, the Bridging course content will help you to cover the gap between CCNAv6 and CCNAv7.

Cisco Networking Academy Evolution Meetings 7-8 Nov 2019 -- Presentations

More than 80 attendees from Networking Academies in Belgium took part in the info sessions on 7 and 8 November 2019. More than a quarter of participants are education managers and coordinators. 

The Digital Economy has started to play a role in the world of education. The first education domains influenced will be technology and business programs at all education levels. In IT Infrastructure and Networking a very big change will be the evolution "from CLI to API". Managing systems and networks will be based on APIs.

In the second semester of the academic year 2019-2020 a large number of instructor workshops will be provided to allow teachers to prepare for the upcoming changes in the curriculum. Topics will be: Network Programmability (DevNet), (Cyber) Security, Packet Tracer (Autocorrection & Multilink) and topics like Wireless Network Management to support new modules in CCNAv7.

BiASC wants to thank Henallux, Digital Wallonia, Cisco BeLux and Cisco CSR for their brilliant support.
