~ Global Knowledge launches 'CCNA
Xtra' with new online resources~
22 June 2010 – Norway – Trainees today are
looking for a more multi-layered collaborative approach to
learning, which does not necessarily replace existing offerings but
enhances and complements them. Global Knowledge recognizes this
changing environment and has just launched CCNA Xtra, an offering
that meets those new needs and blends seamlessly with its existing
portfolio.
CCNA Xtra provides pre-and post-course information and
activities, and is available online to all delegates who are
studying for their Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
certification with Global Knowledge.
Global Knowledge has already seen significant success with their
recently launched VMware Xtra service in the United Kingdom, and
this new offering builds on that foundation, enabling customers to
make the most of their CCNA Certification training.
“We’re fully aware that clients welcome our support outside the
classroom as part of their education. Whether the desire is to pass
the certification or to further understand the technology,
CCNA Xtra is designed to give the learner further
assistance and help cement the learning process,” explained Richard
Pryor-Jones, President - EMEA of Global Knowledge. “It’s important
to make the additional resources accessible and our selection of
relevant – instructor-view videos, network course choices, revision
packets, proof of configuration demos and more is all geared
towards maximizing the delegates learning experience”
Global Knowledge has also available CCNA Mentored Workshops and
a CCNA Level troubleshooting course that enables delegates who have
opted for alternative methods of learning the opportunity to
revisit lab scenario’s that perhaps e-learning packages alone do
not provide and to bridge the gap between CCNA and CCNP
troubleshooting.
“Sometimes people don’t have the time or opportunity to give a
full week or two to learn about a new technology or gain a required
certification,” explained Pryor-Jones. “We have designed the
workshop to complement our e-learning package to create a flexible
CCNA package or alternatively this can be viewed as a standalone
opportunity giving delegates hands-on practical routing and
switching experience.”
“By being able to reduce the time spent in a classroom by up to
80%, as well as making classroom-based learning as flexible as
possible, we hope to bring authorized CCNA training to the widest
possible audience of individuals and organizations”
