There is a serious shortage of trained and certified people to fill these jobs throughout the world. To provide the high level of training for these jobs, YSU has partnered with Cisco Systems, to form the YSU Metro College Cisco Networking Academy. We feel that the Cisco training is both challenging and rewarding. These certificates position candidates for immediate openings in a talent-hungry job market. The Cisco program consists of four 70-hour semesters.
Attendance is a prerequisite for final certification.
Certification standards are controlled by Cisco and cannot be modified by Youngstown State University. Cisco Semester 1 winter classes are being offered on the main YSU campus as well as Southwoods Commons in Boardman. As per Cisco, class size is limited to 16 students. Depending on location, there may be a fee for parking. Click here for the most current schedule of classes.
