<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Maggie,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There should be an article describing the Cisco
CCNA in some detail in Infonet that I wrote last year. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your timing could not have been better in asking
for information about Cisco. The reason is that the Forest Hill
College academy participates along with other academies who wish to do so
in the annual Victorian Cisco networking competition. As Cisco is a 2 year
course there are 2 separate competitions, one for each year level. These take
around 4 hours or so.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Recent Victorian Cisco competition results for
2008: 1st year Forest Hill was runner up with a score of 97% with Rowville
winning with 100%.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
2nd year Forest Hill won the competition and competed in the National
competition against TAFEs, Institutes, and Universities in Australia and New
Zealand. Basically state winners took on each other. Last Wednesday Forest Hill
WON that national competition and will now take on 12 countries running Cisco in
the Asia Pacific region. So, you can tell your student these are some of the
opportunities apart from industry qualifications in Networking he/she can take
up.</FONT></DIV>
