Cisco courses for the vision impaired

[Kerry Hoath]

You get a certificate for each course you complete.
We'll update this on the site also so that people can see the learning path.

Once you have discovery 1 and 2, you can sit CCENT externally;
and yes we are offering discovery 3 and 4 later in the year.
Once you have discovery 3 and 4 you can sit the full CCNA.

Our learning environment does not suit all people; however many find access 
to the virtual router and workstation bundle is useful; and it is a feature 
that is not provided by any other academy we know of.
Regards, Kerry.
