Consisting of a series of online exams and simulation activities using Cisco Packet Tracer, the Cisco NetRiders Competition is a highly lauded interactive networking skills competition organised by tech giants Cisco, one which a TAR UC student has emerged victorious from 3 years running, owing mainly to the full incorporation of the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) in the curriculum. The dedicated lecturers and work ethic instilled in the TAR UC community also play crucial roles in the consistency of their excellence.
