Courses, modules and qualifications

Curriculum support for National Progression Awards

Schools in Scotland have a unique opportunity to participate in a pilot Cisco Networking Academy programme, through the OU's School of Computing and Communications.

Teachers are able to train as Cisco instructors and access learning materials that support the curriculum for National Progression Awards in Computer Networking and Cyber Security in Scotland.

The Open University Cisco Academy Support Centre and Instructor Training Centre is currently one of the UK's biggest.

We openly collaborate with others to support a community of over 300 educational organisations, offering resources, support and professional development.
