Program highlights

The Academic Partnership Program puts Nokia Service Router technology and learning material directly in the hands of colleges, universities, and the enrolled student body. Course material and labs from Nokia's Service Routing Certification (SRC) program provide the learning foundation for the program and become an integrated part of the university’s course curriculum. With the help of Nokia, local university instructors become trained and certified to teach the SRC course(s) and corresponding lab sessions during the semester. Classroom sizes are flexible and capable of supporting colleges and universities of all sizes.

To learn more about the Nokia SRC program and its available courses and certifications, please visit https://nokia.com/networks/training/src. In most cases, the primary college/university focus will be on entry-level and intermediate courses from the NRS I and NRS II certification tracks.
