This certificate is the the final in a series of three certificates of achievement, Fundamental, Intermediate, and Advanced IT Networking and Security. Although this is listed as a new program, it is a re-organization of courses to better meet the needs of the students. It also allows students to enter and exit the educational system as is needed in the student's career.
These courses are standard in a community college and are a repacking of existing courses. I spoke with Annabelle at Cabrillo and she indicated that there was not perceived impact to Cabrillo's programs.
