Important Note to Foreign Student

Well, we used to get a lot of question on enrollment by foreign student. Hopefully, this blog will enable them to understand the whole situation.

The Cisco Academy Program (working adults) is normally conducted on Saturday or Sunday once a week. The program is offered on a part-time basis with not more than 12 hours per week of in-class time. Each course (one semester) will take a minimum of 6 weeks to complete. The course is mainly catered for people who are already based in Klang Valley. Their may be a full-time student studying within 50 km range from Kuala Lumpur area or working within 50 km range from Kuala Lumpur area.

At this moment of time, we do not recommend oversea student to come here just to attend our academy program because

1. Classes are on Saturday or Sunday ( 9 - 5 pm) and what are you (the student) going to do for the rest of the week.

2. The cost of hotel accomodation for 6 weeks, travelling expenses and food will exceed the tuition fee at least 5 times. Assume a low budget of daily cost of RM200/= for 6 weeks that amount to RM8,400/=.

3. There may be some difficult for you as a student to obtain a student visa since the program is part time in nature.

One of the thing you should do is to use the cisco academy locator at http://cisco.netacad.net to find the nearest academy in your country and contact the academy from there. That is the best way to get Cisco training from Cisco Networking Academy.

Hope this helps.
