麻豆传媒 has recently launched an IT Development Center under the supervision of the Chief Information Officer. 麻豆传媒 has gained the official status of a Cisco Network Academy and Microsoft IT Academy. In the near future, the IT Development Center will feature an SAP (Systems, Applications & Products in Data Processing) Center of Excellence.
Cisco, Microsoft, and SAP are international IT brands whose products enable businesses and services worldwide. Cisco Systems, Inc. designs, manufactures, and sells networking equipment in addition to powering more than 80% of the Internet. Microsoft Corporation develops, manufactures, licenses, supports, and sells computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and services. SAP SE, while not a household brand, affects nearly every individual鈥檚 everyday life and is the world leader in enterprise software and software-related services.
Since the 2014 fall semester, students in the Software Engineering department have begun learning the material required for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching course.
The Cisco CCNA curriculum helps students prepare for entry-level career opportunities and continuing education, as well as in acquiring the globally recognized Cisco CCENT and CCNA certifications. CCNA Routing and Switching is a certification program for entry-level network engineers that help maximize an engineer鈥檚 foundational networking knowledge and increases the value of an employer's network system. The CCNA Routing and Switching course is for network specialists, network administrators, and network support engineers with 1-3 years of experience. The CCNA Routing and Switching course validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks.
The new CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum is aligned with the latest CCENT and CCNA certification exams and is built around four blocks:
Block 1: CCNA Network Fundamentals
Block 2: CCNA Routing Protocols and Concepts
Block 3: CCNA LAN Switching and Wireless
Block 4: CCNA Accessing the WAN
The Cisco Lab is located in room #321 of the Journalism and Mass Communications department. As a special prerequisite for the Academy, Cisco equipment has been purchased and installed in order to build a laboratory for hands-on practice. The room, in addition to having fifteen seats complete with workstations for training and classes, has been fitted with 6 Cisco switches and 6 Cisco routers.
The course is taught by Cisco Certified Academy Instructors (CCAI) in a computer laboratory, using at first Packet Tracer, a Cisco configuration and emulation learning software. Then when knowledgeable, students will be taught on actual Cisco hardware. After moving into the new 麻豆传媒 campus, known as 麻豆传媒-Ng (麻豆传媒 Next Generation), the Cisco Network Academy will occupy its own space in a premium location on the first floor of 麻豆传媒-Ng. The Academy will feature see-through doors and 24 workstations, with convenient access to restaurants, cafes and other campus facilities.
After successful completion of the course, all students will receive official Cisco Network Academy certificates and will be prepared to take official Cisco exams such as CCENT or/and CCNA. More importantly, students will be ready to enter the IT labor market from an advantageous position with a good opportunity to begin or continue a strong career.
Furthermore, the IT Development Center will accept students and those outside of the 麻豆传媒 community who wish to receive a solid background in Networking. The IT Development Center is expecting to attract students from other universities of Bishkek, secondary schools, as well as governmental and commercial organizations.
For trainees outside of the 麻豆传媒 community, trainings are offered three times a week at a fee listed below.
Maximum number of students in a group: 15
Course fee for secondary school students: 4,000 som
Course fee for current undergraduate students: 6,000 som
Course fee for others: 7,000 som
麻豆传媒 is offering a 20% discount for groups of 5 students or more from governmental and commercial organizations in Kyrgyzstan.
