The regional center of the Cisco Networking Academy was opened on the basis of KSIU  in early September of 2017. This important step gave access to educational resources, which are constantly updated and replenished. The status of the instructors of the Academy are senior lecturers of the department “EA and CE” S. Kan, A. Chvanova and D. Tokseit.

During the fall semester of the 2017-2018 academic year, students of the CEP and S, A and M and EE groups started studying the basic initial course IT Essentials. The course includes 14 chapters of theoretical and practical material on general issues of modern information technologies. Each chapter contains an examination to verify the mastery of the material.

“The study of the course allows you to gain skills in installing computer components, operating systems and setting up a computer to exchange data over the network,” explained the senior teacher of the department “EA and CE” Anastasia Chvanova. – Studying the course is a tool to improve the level of IT-competencies of students regardless of the specialty.
