Cisco Academy Support Center (ASC)
Southeast Missouri State University has a certified Cisco Network Academy and Academy Support Center.
Academy Support Center (ASC) provides support to other Cisco academies, stimulates the foundation of new academies, and promotes participation in training programs.
Cisco Network Academy organizes courses to reach the widest spectrum of participants. It represents a partnership among educational institutions, industry, government institutions, and non-profit organizations. The purpose of this cooperation is to increase access to education and career opportunities and provide an adequate number of qualified experts, who are in demand within the networking industry. An ASC therefore supports the existing academies and stimulates the foundation of new academies, specifically at educational institutions in the Southeast Missouri region. The foundation of a Cisco Network Academy can improve pedagogical and learning conditions within a school, provide modern knowledge to students and thus improve the basis for their further study or the choice of first employment. The school is granted access to up-to-date learning materials, multimedia learning tools, and network equipment discounts. It also seeks to refresh and complement the knowledge of teachers and provide an opportunity for the independent organization of courses for various participants. Each academy has a mutual cooperation contract with the selected Academy Support Center and at least two certified Cisco instructors.
