Global Knowledge extends the Xtra factor
~ IT training company launches Cisco learning tools, proven to help hands-on skills development ~
IT training and business skills provider, Global Knowledge, has launched CCNP Xtra, a complimentary hands-on learning development tool. It allows attendees to practise and hone their skills in routing and switching, benefiting both professional network and system engineers in Cisco’s certification track.
“We’re fully aware that people learn in different ways. Trainees really value the opportunity to extend the learning experience and gain the pre and post formal tuition support when learning about a new technology or gaining a required certification,” explained Allan Pettman, UK managing director of Global Knowledge.
Building on the recent success of VMware and CCNA Xtra, CCNP Xtra recognises the need to provide candidates with additional constructive support beyond the formal instructor-led classes. In that sense it takes Xtra to the next level, allowing trainees to cement their knowledge. Beta tests support this case, showing that using CCNP Xtra can enhance a candidate’s chances of passing the course by over 20%.
“Candidates thrive using ‘hands-on’ learning which can be done in their own time,” Pettman explained. “It’s our job to make learning as user-friendly and accessible as possible – with CCNP Xtra we have built upon a proven model and we look forward to continuing to support learners on that journey”.
“The release of CCNP Xtra means that the entire Cisco Routing and Switching track can now offer extended support beyond the classroom,” concluded Pettman.
