How to Sign Up?
Signing up to our initiative is very simple, and can be achieved in 4 easy steps:
1. Register as a Cisco Academy
The first step involves signing up as a Cisco Academy. Once approved, a member of the team will reach out to schedule an introductory call. If you progress in the application process, you will be asked to sign the Academy Membership Agreement and to select an Academy Support Centre.
2. Select courses
The Cisco Networking Academy offer a plethora of free courses. Academies can offer courses in different subject areas and at different levels. These can be delivered using a self-paced, instructor-led, or hybrid methodology, and embedded into existing programmes or offered as stand-alone courses.
4. Launch
Once your Academy is up and running, you are ready to launch and start inviting students to enroll by visiting the specific course pages.
4. Track progress
Each Academy has access to their students' progress. You can monitor a range of useful data which can be used to track and promote course completion, or introduce new courses.

As a response to COVID-19, we developed a focused microsite from the UK and Ireland Cisco Networking Academy Support Centre community, with the objective of curating and collating useful resources: support.teachingdigital.org.
