| The Cisco Networking Academy Program depends on educational organizations worldwide to become Academies and facilitate learning for interested students. We have more than 10,000 Academies in high schools, colleges and universities, technical schools, community-based organizations, and other educational institutions worldwide.

What should you consider if you want your organization to become a Cisco Networking Academy? Teaching technology curriculum is like teaching other courses. In this case, classroom space, instructors, PCs with Internet connections, and space for lab equipment are essential infrastructure requirements.
The Academy program uses a “train-the-trainer” model of instruction. Your Academy is trained and supported by a “parent” Academy.
