Information on the upcoming NetRiders events:
-
In 2015, we are making some changes to our NetRiders program. We will be running 3 levels of competition in the United States and Canada. At all three levels, the majority of the questions deal with technical skills but there will be some questions about Internet of Everything (IoE) and soft skills.
- CCNA - geared toward CCNA certifications and open to students currently enrolled in or recently completed the 3rd or 4th CCNA course
- CCENT - geared toward CCENT certifications and open to students currently enrolled in or recently completed the 1st or 2nd CCNA course
- IT Essentials - geared toward the IT Essentials course and open to students currently enrolled in or recently completed the IT Essentials course
Competitors can register for one NetRiders competition during the open registration period and self-select the competition they choose to participate in based on eligibility requirements.
Eligibility Information
For all the eligibility requirements and rules of an individual competition, please download the Rules PDF and FAQ files for the competition you are interested in. A few things to note about competition eligibility:
- Students must be currently or recently enrolled in a Cisco Networking Academy CCNA Routing and Switching, CCNA Discovery, CCNA Exploration or IT Essentials course in the United States, Canada, or US Department of Defense academies (see individual Rules for each competition)
- Students represent the Cisco Networking Academy and therefore the state or province where they are currently enrolled or most recently completed a CCNA or IT Essentials course
- Students must live in the United States, Canada, Guam with the exception of students in US Department of Defense academies
- Students may only compete in one competition (CCNA, CCENT, or IT Essentials) in a calendar year
- Beginning with 2015, students may only compete in each level (CCNA, CCENT, and IT Essentials) one time so we recommend students are strategic in selecting the best year to compete in each level of competition based on courses enrolled in or recently completed and all other eligibility rules
It is the responsibility of the competitor to read and comply with all eligibility rules for the competition they decide to compete in this year. Failure to meet all eligibility requirements is cause for disqualification. We do the most extensive validation after Round One is complete which means that a student who enrolls in the wrong competition will not get the opportunity to try that competition again. Please carefully read the Rules and FAQs for the competitions to determine which is the best to enroll in this year.
