Accredited Cisco Networking Academy
A skills-to-jobs program shaping the future workforce.
At Cisco Networking Academy, we believe education can be the ultimate equalizer, enabling anyone, regardless of background, to develop expertise and shape their destiny in a digital era. Guided by Cisco’s purpose to power an inclusive future for all, we bring this vision to life by preparing learners with real-world skills and helping them discover opportunities to apply them. We do this with our progressive education technology platform, leading-edge curriculum, superior learning experiences, and an unparalleled partner ecosystem—all of which have led to us impacting 20 million learners in 190 countries.
Back in 1997, Cisco donated networking equipment to a local school, but it sat unused because no one knew how to operate it. That changed when we stepped in to train the school’s staff on building their network. This pivotal moment marked the birth of Cisco Networking Academy and the impactful movement it represents.
Today, in addition to the millions of learners who take our self-paced courses, 29,700 educators deliver our curriculum across 11,700 organizations. 95% of learners who complete our courses find employment or access new educational opportunities. And our ever-expanding ecosystem of partners ranges from the White House and the United Nations to many of the nonprofits you know and love.
