• Spread the news!

Do you know an instructor that could possibly teach IT via the NetAcad Program? Please share this invite with your colleagues and peers in your network, at your own school or at any other educational institute.

And keep in mind: there is a broad courses portfolio to offer: from networking to security and programmability. Also, our new SkillsforAll.com could be adopted on any educational level (intro and advanced), starting from Secondary School to University level.

Our goal

The goal of this instructor training is that you can start teaching right away after obtaining the accreditation status making use of the NetAcad Learning Management System (LMS).

It is important however, to make sure that you understand the aims and results of the training as instructor training is different from student training:

• Instructor training is preparation for a teacher to start teaching a specific Networking Academy course. The main part of the training consists of briefings, demonstrations, and didactic tips (20%). Self-study and personal work are required outside the online sessions (80%).
• At the end of the training there is a formal part consisting of a final exam (conceptual) and a skills exam (practical). A participant who passes the exams will earn the accreditation to teach the course. For this second part a proctor level instructor trainer will be involved.
• ‘Registering’ for the training, means ‘participating’. In case you can’t attend the training, let us know please. No show without notification, do not align with our policies. After you have registered, please make sure to make a reservation in your own calendar yourself.
• Please pay attention filling out the registration sheet:
  • Use your NetAcad / Webex email address, or if you’re new your educational email address (no Hotmail or gmail address)
  • Make sure you meet the prerequisites before starting the training
  • Only choose one course
  • Choose the right course language (English, Dutch or French)
