Business & Technology: Cisco Network Associate Certification/Certificate

Degree/Hours to Complete:
A certificate is awarded to the student by Blue Ridge Community and Technical College upon completion of 31 credit hours of course work in a defined area. In many cases, the student may be awarded a Blue Ridge Community and Technical College Certificate while at the same time seeking an associate degree. Part-time and special non-degree students who take classes at a slow pace will benefit from the credential that a collegiate certificate provides. Certificates are awarded twice a year in December and May.
