FAQ

Are there any required materials for pilot participation?

  • The goal is for all students to be able to access pilot courses, so our aim is to keep required resources as minimal as possible; with this goal in mind, Career Kickstart will provide as many virtual simulation opportunities as possible.
  • Students should have access to computers that allow the installation of specific lightweight networking simulator applications like Cisco Packet Tracer and GNS3.
  • Some provided lesson plans may utilize additional basic networking materials like cable crimpers and data cables. Courses will be designed to be teachable in the absence of other physical networking appliances like network switches, routers, etc.
  • A full list of materials referenced in Cybersecurity 1: Networking Fundamentals and Cybersecurity 2: Cybersecurity Fundamentals can be found in the Cybersecurity Pilots Instructional Overview.
