With over 10,000 academies globally – for everybody's interest we must have a consistent model of delivery. Cisco does not want bad quality in any program it delivers.
Instructor training is to teach the instructors how to deliver a quality program.
It is not designed to teach people who already are experts in, for example Unix, things they already know very well.
The training teaches more how to deliver the program effectively using the instructor led, e-learning skill based program. Makes instructors familiar with the content and tools we provide to make the students and instructors have a good learning and teaching experience.
We are investigating alternative training models such as distance learning methods.
