The University of Edinburgh is running the first UK-based Cisco Networking Academy Programme, a joint venture between Internet hardware maker Cisco Systems and the education sector. The university's Cisco Academy Training Centre will train regional academies which will incorporate the networking courses into their curricula. The universities of Central England, Wolverhampton, the Highlands and Islands and Cork Institute of Technology are among the first regional academies. They will train local academies, usually colleges of further education.
