Cisco 360 Learning Program for CCIE Routing and Switching
The Cisco 360 Learning Program for CCIE Routing
and Switching is designed with high potential network professionals
in mind, it is a comprehensive, blended learning program designed
to accelerate expert-level competency and provide the skills and
training needed to prepare candidates for the rigorous CCIE Routing
and Switching practical exam. This program is not just about
certification but about ensuring delegates achieve the skills
necessary to operate in the complex network environments of
today.
Global Knowledge, Cisco's 2009 Global Learning
Partner of the Year, is uniquely positioned to deliver this
program having been closely involved in its development and
subsequent pilot. Therefore Global Knowledge is the leading
global delivery partner of this unique program.
Global Knowledge was selected as an early
delivery partner having been appointed by Cisco to support the
Global Talent Acceleration Program (GTAP) in Jordan and India.
These newly graduated engineers were being developed into the role
of a Cisco Technical Assistance (TAC) engineer, one of the most
advanced and most technical roles within Cisco. This rigorous
program culminated in the New 360 Learning Program for CCIE Routing
and switching, with these engineers being the first to achieve
their CCIE’s via this program.

This new CCIE 360 program takes CCIE
preparation to a new level, using an educationally excellent method
of collaborative learning practices to cater for a broad base of
learners with different learning styles and educational preference.
At the forefront of Collaborative Learning, and an innovator in
this space, Global knowledge has the experience of designing and
delivering similar programs for Cisco Professional level
certifications and is therefore the obvious delivery partner of
choice for the new Cisco CCIE 360 Program.
The program consists of four core
elements, Self-paced E-Learning, two Instructor Led Advanced
Workshops, and Mentoring/Practice Labs. Whilst it is recommended
that all components of the program are followed, so that delegates
can experience the full benefits of this unique program it is
recognized that each individuals needs are different and therefore
the core elements can be broken down further and sold as individual
components designed to meet the specific individuals needs.
