CCC & CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY
CCC began its partnership with Cisco Systems in 1999 by offering Cisco Networking Academy classes as Local Academies. Since its inception, CCC has earned a reputation for offering high-quality training. Having successfully implemented all phases of the CCNA Networking Academy curriculum, CCC has proven success in managing local academies as well as teaching students by using the tools and techniques provided by the Cisco Networking Academy.

In 2001, CCC was recognized by Cisco Networking Academy as a Cisco Regional Networking Academy. This designation allowed CCC to expand the local academy program by providing training and guidance to existing local academies, technical career centers, and CCC campuses for training students how to develop key business links for program support, enrichment, and growth to meet the industry demands.
