Testimonial

My name is Denis Perreault, and I worked for RAC in the [ITCS] as well as Cisco programs.

The experience that the candidates have is mandatory to start with, of course, and we start with what they have – they are showing us what they know, and we fill in the gaps.

Question: How do RAC evaluations differ from traditional education?

Well, in RAC, in terms of evaluations, what we do is favor hands on as much as possible. In the Cisco RAC for instance, we have real Cisco routers and switches, and we insist the candidates actually use that during the evals. They can use packet tracer, it’s a good emulator, for home, but when they’re here, they’re being evaluated on the equipment.

Question: What kind of innovations have you worked on for RAC?

The innovation we currently implement in our online facilities for RAC, for instance, we now have integrated the voice over PowerPoints. I mean, a candidate will learn at home by simply downloading the PowerPoint and the voice puts context into it. Because you know how a PowerPoint could be, it could be quite dry material, so the voice gives a very nice context to that material.
