Academy Conference 2008

Momentum is building after the successful launch of 13 new courses with more and more Academies adopting the new curricula. In fact, more students are now enrolled in CCNA 4.0 (CCNA Discovery and CCNA Exploration) than CCNA 3.1.

Are you preparing to teach one of the new curricula this fall?
Are you already teaching one of the new courses?

If the answer to either of these questions is “yes”, then you won’t want to miss Academy Conference 2008.
