CiscoNetworkingAcademyInstructionsForAccessibility

Cisco Networking Academy is committed to making its curricula and documentation accessible and usable by all students to help them achieve their goals. For Networking Academy, accessibility means providing access to our curricula for people with disabilities, either by design or through compatible use with assistive technology. The accessible versions of the complete IT Essentials and CCNA Routing and Switching curricula have been available for over one year and have been enthusiastically received by academies and students worldwide. All courses include text descriptions for media items embedded in the curricula.
