Academy Marketplace Cisco Networking Academy Program Cost Calculator!

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

The Cisco Networking Academy Program Cost Calculator was developed to assist
educational institutions in estimating the costs associated with participating in the
program.

The Cost Calculator will help ESTIMATE expenses an Academy may incur while
participating in the Cisco Networking Academy Program. Expenses may vary on
several factors such as number of curriculums, courses and students being taught, and
available recourses including an institution's network infrastructure, number of
available computer workstations, industry products and services, and instructor
compression of the Academy Program and the different curriculums.

The calculator helps to estimate both initial and recurring expenses for each Cisco
Networking Academy Program curriculum and semester.

Please return to the Community Server for updated versions of the Cost Calculator.

Note: that all prices are listed as retail and in U.S. dollar amounts. Costs may vary on
geographic location, inflation, sudden changes in the market, quality and so on. Most
items listed in the Cost Calculator have comments associated with them to provide
some rationale in trying to determine need. Comments are indicated by red triangles in
the upper right-hand corner of a cell.

Any additional options chosen are shipped with, but not installed in, the system
selected.

Below are a few questions you may want think about before using the Cost Calculator:
