During the last months, we have been dedicating most part of this publication to two very important topics: certification and the CCNA 3.1 version, and their particular connotations.
These topics, although they are a priority for instructors, are of great importance for students. The program's most recent version has been updated with the constant changes of technology. If an instructor is properly trained and updated, students do not need to worry about being taught obsolete information.
On the other hand, a student whose instructor is certified can be confident that the instructor has a deep knowledge in the subject he/she is teaching, and he/she can be of great assistance when the student decides to take the certification exam, increasing student's success possibilities.
Therefore, these issues will be part of our Cisco Networking Academy México agenda during the following months.

IT Women: How are we doing?
Statistics about the gender breakdown of the labour force can be hard to interpret, since IT work cuts across many industrial and occupational categories. Some IT workers are hidden at home, doing contract, freelance, part-time or other forms of precarious work. Some IT workers do technical tasks as part of their daily routine, but their official job title is not considered a technical one. Information technologies and changes in work practices have created many new types of jobs and reconfigured old ones.
Here you can find an abstract of the book Doing IT. Women Working in Information Technology.

The network and its effect in business.
Companies have expanded their networks in terms of size, business utility and strategic value. More and more, the network is being associated to business’ objectives. Companies are getting focused on their networks’ ROI evaluation, considering four basic areas:
- Cut down the Total Cost of Ownership — Every time new technologies are added to existent networks, new equipment is acquired, people are trained and the network performance has to be managed and optimized.
- Improve Business Agility — In terms of the ability of an organization to respond fast to market and/or business’ changing conditions, and to adapt to the dynamic demands of their customers and their businesses.
- Speed up access to applications and services — This acceleration improves business agility. For example, the IP Communications System includes an application to manage customer relationships that allows the displaying of information related to the calling customer. With this information, customer attention is fast and efficient.
- Increase availability — Network’s downtime can negatively affect income and can diminish cost-effectiveness, due to costs associated to the time IT staff has to spend troubleshooting the network. High availability relies on carefully planned redundancy, strong security, and scalability, as well as on diligences throughout the network’s life-cycle. Availability goals are influenced by businesses’ objectives.
Considering these factors, Cisco is introducing into the market the concept of “Network’s Life cycle” that visualizes the network in six stages: preparation, planning, design, implementation, operation, and optimization.
In our next edition, we will detail these life cycle stages of a network, as well as Cisco’s offerings to make the most out of these stages.

For Instructors only. Bridge CCNA 3.1 Training.
As of 2006, version 2.1 of the CCNA curriculum will be definitely removed; the only available curriculum to open classes will be version 3.1. Therefore, those instructors who do not show their competence in the new version (3.1) won’t be able to teach any classes from that date on.
If you are an instructor and haven’t approved all courses, please remember that you have until December 2005 to do it; otherwise you won’t be allowed to open classes in Academy Connection. Bridge CCNA 1 and CCNA 4 courses are still available and will be offered on a regular basis through Academy Connection, until December 2005.
Enter Academy Connection, in the Instructor section look for the LEARN subsection and search the courses you need in order to update to version CCNA 3.1.
If you already took one or more modules of 3.1 version, you don’t need to attend the Bridge course of that specific module.
Frecuently asked questions:
If I am already trained in version 2.1, what happens if I do not attend bridge courses before December 2005?
You won’t be able to open classes in the system as of January 1st, 2006.
Example:
You attended CCNA 1 version 2.1.2, than you need to attend BRIDGE CCNA 1.
If you also attended the module CCNA 2 version 3.1, (new), you do not need to attend the Bridge CCNA 2 course for this particular module.
Do I have to go to the CATC to attend bridge courses?
No, bridge courses are 100% remote. However, you need to know that every module is charged a registration fee of 550 Mexican pesos.
How do I pay this registration fee?
After registration you will receive an email with all the information you need to attend the course. It is very important for you to know, that this information will be sent to the email address you entered in Academy Connection.
Can I attend several modules simultaneously?
Yes, but remember that Bridge courses are 6-day courses. You will need to carefully schedule them to be able to finish each module on time; otherwise you won’t approve the module.
If you are interested, please register through Academy Connection.
