Hi. the list owner has oked 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 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 courses.
The academy is currently taking applications for the first semester of
2011. We Will be offering IT Essentials 1, Discovery 1 and Exploration 1
starting the first week of February.
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 US dollars
however, scholarships are available to students who are paying out of
pocket that lower the price to $150. 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. 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 28 January 2011.
