has a tiered structure designed to accommodate growth and remain
self-sustaining. Because of this structure, each CATC, Regional
Academy, Local Academy has a single institution "above"
it called its parent academy and multiple institution "below"
it called its children academies. Each Regional Academy is responsible
for training, supporting and monitoring the instructors at their
Local Academies. |

The Academy Locator enables end-users
to locate an Academy in a specified geographic location.

are both formative and summative evaluations. Formative assessments
are more informal and are used to help guide teacher instruction
or student learning. Pre-tests and quizzes are examples of formative
assessments. Summative assessments are more formal and are generally
used at the end of instruction to summarize a student's learning.
Chapter and final exams are examples of summative assessments. |

of assessments using a database-driven system that allows for the
authorizing, delivery, administration, and reporting of assessment
items from all Academies. |
| Certification |
To be certified with a Cisco degree,
a learner must pass an assessment with a minimum acceptable score.
To increase validity and assure authentication, the certification
process should be proctored by an independent agent. Cisco offers
