E-learning combines these equalizers to revolutionize the way organizations around the world communicate and train their people. By training students on line, Cisco can inexpensively deliver instructional content in multiple formats, manage and track the learning process, and provide company-wide access to an extended network of learners, instructors, and experts. The company can reuse and reformat content quickly and easily, significantly reducing development and delivery time. Online courses provide flexibility and convenience, and can quickly reach students anywhere, at any time. This enables Cisco to meet its training needs in a cost-effective way.
Students are free to study at their own pace, regardless of location.
Because e-learning makes students accountable through online testing and progress management, learners obtain relevant information faster, increase their own productivity, and can move forward or repeat course sections based on performance. Students can design their own curriculum after having their skill levels evaluated through online testing. They advance by testing out of subjects, and managers can track student progress on line. Completing either course prepares students to pass the Cisco Certified Network Associate Certification test. The self-paced CCNA Essentials course, recommended training for CCNA certification, is now offered on line.
