GEMSS for U.S. Air Force
& Space Force Training Request
About the Program
The DAF GEMSS EA provides Cisco Training Credits and Cisco Modeling Labs as an entitlement. The Cisco Learning Credits provide access to Cisco U., Cisco Exams and Instructor Led Classes. The Leaning Credits are not available to contractors. Military and Civilians must use their CCO ID associated with their military email address when submitting requests.
Provides two access levels. The essentials access provides access to CCNA, DevNet, CyberOps training. All training is self-paced and contains IT domain fundamentals in 18 learning paths. This access level is recommended for anyone who has not achieved the CCNA certification yet.
Cisco U. all access adds CCNP and CCIE-level training. All training is self-paced and includes everything from Essentials access. This access level is suggested for anyone who completed the CCNA exam.
Cisco Exams
It’s suggested to utilize Cisco U. to prepare for the exam with an average of 3-6 months of study to prepare for the CCNA exam, and an average of 8-13 months of study to prepare for the CCNP exam.
Instructor Led Training
It is available as a public and private class. A public class is a publicly available class that anyone can attend (online and in person). The private class allows a Unit to conduct a class on-prem at the base and online with only military personnel in attendance. Classes can also be conducted in a hybrid method where some access the class online while others sit in the classroom. Private classes have a maximum classroom of 16 personnel. Computer labs are desired to conduct the classes but are not required.
Cisco Modeling Labs
Modeling labs provide a means to simulate a network to test configurations before implementing on the live network. The Personal version can be used to simulate a small network and practice what was learned in Cisco U. The Enterprise and Educational versions are used to simulate live networks.
