Skills for All

What is Skills for All?

Skills for All was introduced by the Cisco Networking Academy in 2020. The intent of launching the site was to create a greenfield innovation space to build a new and improved platform for educators and learners. As an Academy, you have access to courses on skillsforall.com and netacad.com. All Skills for All courses are self-paced, free, and, mobile-friendly, with ample opportunity for learners to get stuck in with practical activities such as labs and assessments. Most courses can also be instructor-led. 

By July 2024, NetAcad will merge with Skills for All - it is therefore essential that all instructors develop confidence and experience with the platform as it evolves, merges and converges.
