Top Canadian Cisco NetRider is an Algonquin College student!

MAY 27, 2015
Congratulations to Craig Labute, who placed second overall in the third round of Cisco’s Networking Academy NetRiders USA and Canada 2015 CCNA Competition!

Cisco Networking Academy NetRiders competitions utilize Cisco’s Web technologies to create an interactive networking skills contest that enhances classroom learning, unites students from across the world, and promotes further technology education and training.

Organized by Cisco, these competitions are a great opportunity for Networking Academy students to learn valuable Networking/IT skills through a series of online exams and simulation activities. This third round of the competition wrapped up last week.

For taking home the second spot, Craig wins a Study Trip Prize to Cisco Headquarters January 10-16, 2016, and either a CCNA Routing & Switching or CCNA Security certification voucher – his choice. Way to go!
