Please read the following with care - you are on a 100% remote, 100% self-supported course - the OU Cisco ASC/ITC team will not offer any support or special dispensation. The price of free is that you are learning independently and expected to solve all academic and technical issues yourself. This project is not funded and is run by volunteers, there is no entitlement, nor commitment from any participating organsiation or individual.

By enrolling, you agree to all of the following terms

• You are enrolling as an educator to receive Cisco accreditation. You accept that digital badges and certificates of completion are optional and at the discretion of the ITQ..

• You must use an email address, that is associated with NetAcad as an Instructor, prior to completing the course. Otherwise, you gain no benefit from participating.

• Therefore, your purpose for participating in this training, is to utilise Cisco accreditation and credentialing, to teach any of these courses via NetAcad.

• Historic videos can be found on https://www.facebook.com/OUCiscoASC/videos/ which will support most of the content

• Courses commencing Feb24 ending on the 30th of June 2024, there are no extensions or mitigations for anyone

• We will pass everyone within two weeks of the end date passing, not before!

  1. We do not pass anyone early (every) - please do not ask - you may be removed

  2. Why - as this is a bulk task, as part of our free offer - we expect everyone to wait (patiently please)

• Anyone pestering the Open University, the ITQ instructor or any affiliated Cisco Academy will be removed.

• You recognise that there is no funding for this project, it is run for free by volunteers, who give their own free time to make this happen - any unwanted unsocial behaviour from any participants will also result in removal
