This is all the information we have about this. Greetings. Are you curious about the hardware inside of your computer? Do you want to sharpen your troubleshooting and computer maintenance skills? Perhaps you would like to build a computer or home network of your own. The Cisco academy for the vision impaired is accepting applicants for classes in the second semester of 2010. We Will be offering IT Essentials 1, Discovery 1 and Exploration 1 starting the last week of July. ITE1 is an introduction to PC repair including: Hardware, installing and maintaining an operating system, Troubleshooting, portable devices, and customer service. Discovery 1 is focused on home and small business networking. It is the first of four courses that prepare students to take the CCNA certification. Exploration is a more in depth look at networking, both theoretical and practical for those students who wish to really get their hands into building and designing networks. Each class runs for a total of six months, with online lectures. The classes are self- paced so you can finish them in a month, or take the entire semester if desired. The cost for each course is $500, however scholarships and discounts are available to eligible students. Students are required to have good internet access skills and be familiar with their screen reader of choice, or be willing to teach themselves the necessary skills as we go along. Students should be familiar with reading Adobe PDF documents, as they may be encountered while doing research projects. We do not teach basic computer skills. Course content is online, so a broadband internet connection is highly recommended. You will need an internet plan with at least 1 Gigabyte of traffic per month for completing course work, and downloading recorded lectures if desired. Students should also have a working headset/microphone and be willing to install skype and Ventrilo, in order to attend lectures and communicate with instructors. Applications will be accepted until 21 July 2010. The Cisco Academy for the Vision impaired enables blind students to enter the world of Information technology. We provide Diagram descriptions, audio lab recordings, live online lectures by blind and vision impaired instructors, and a community of students and instructors to network with even after you have graduated our course.
