JOURNEY IN KU CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY by Charles Mutua (KU Cisco Networking Academy Alumni)

"As a student, I always wanted to add value to my skillset. With an Interest in Networking, I joined Kenyatta University Cisco Networking Academy to take CCNA Routing & Switching and CCNA Security. By just enrolling and being a student in the academy, getting an internship was not a struggle for me because the industry recognizes the value of the classes. The learning experience is awesome with always-available and ready to assist instructors. The labs are equipped with networking devices which are available for practice.

"My experience at the KU Cisco Networking Academy was a great one. I joined the academy in January 2014.The availability of instructors made learning easy since the instructors were always available in class for the lectures and they also offered support during the Cisco labs. Cisco labs are well equipped with equipment, so I was able to learn on actual devices that are used in the industry and gain hands-on experience. That I believe prepared me for a bright career in ICT by giving me the required skills in Computer Networks and also prepared me for CCNA certification exams. I am currently working at KAA and I appreciate my overall experience at the academy. I would highly recommend KU Cisco Networking Academy to anyone thinking about doing networking. “
