POSTPONED - IT ACADEMY DAY - 27 MARCH

Hello everyone,

As you know, the situation is rapidly evolving, and it is with regret that we decided to postpone the event of 27 March so that you all have the possibility to setup something nice in a virtual conference. The date should be around end of April or May.

We would like to keep the same schedule. The idea would be, once again, to let you give an overall presentation of your IT academies in the morning, more suited for beginners or people who are not already part of your programs. The afternoon should be geared towards more advanced users of your products who would like to learn some new stuff about it.

As a reminder, there’s about a hundred academies part of BiASC who could potentially view all your presentations.

Best regards,
Jonathan Van Geel.
BiASC Advisor

BiASC Activities, Workshops & Conferences - Spring 2020

It is possible to enroll for workshops by clicking on this hyperlink 
More information clicking the link below.

In view of health and safety issues BiASC is looking into possible alternatives for the planned events. Please continue registering and you will be informed in due time.

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 multiple dates.  It is possible to specifically propose a date and location for groups of 6 attendees.

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.

Challenging Hackathon for Professionals and Students

EY organiseert in samenwerking met Brandweernetwerk Vlaanderen en VIAS een hackathon die zal plaatsvinden op 17 en 18 oktober 2019.

100% studentenkorting

Inzet van de hackathon 
Innovatieve toepassingen ontwikkelen die bijdragen om de dagelijkse werking van de brandweer te verbeteren en efficiënter te maken.

Locatie
De hackathon vindt plaats in de Wavespace van EY Antwerp, Borsbeeksebrug 26, Berchem. Voor meer informatie kan u steeds de website raadplegen: https://hackathon.thefactory.works/

De hackathon zal zich op drie pijnpunten focussen waar brandweerdiensten vandaag mee te maken krijgen:

1. Smart Homes and Buildings: hoe kan slimme technologie in gebouwen brandweer bijstaan voor brandpreventie en -detectie?
2. Smart Mobility: hoe brandbestrijdingsmiddelen op de meest efficiënte manier toewijzen, volgen en op de locatie brengen?
3. Smart Fire Service: hoe kunnen opkomende technologieën (VR, AR, Drones, Wearable technologieën, enz.) brandweer op het terrein en tijdens trainingen ondersteunen?

De winnaars van de challenges krijgen de mogelijkheid om hun oplossing te presenteren op het Back2TheFuture Brandweercongres (500 aanwezigen). Het einddoel van het evenement is om in samenwerking met Vias en de Brandweer een concreet project verder uit te werken.
