21. Statistics 142 enrolled 130 take part in education 128 successfully finished – 98.5%  9 did not take part in e-learning – 7% Final test  average score – 75%  max. num. of points – 11%  >= half points – 90%

22. Real indicators of success Recognition of a teacher from secondary school that taught children for years about networks (she admited she was not sure if her lectures were correct) that our lectures clarified everything. Furthermore, she was so exicited that she wish to be enrolled in Cisco Networking Academy for further education (this can be read in her post on the forum).

23. Real indicators of success A number of teachers request to collect all the material from the course in pdf- textbook that will be used for their purposes (numerious posts on the forum) Requests for the rights to teach students with our material and to place it on their web sites

24. Real indicators of success Recognition that this was a serious course - collected and printed material reaches more than 250 pages! Other vocational training required of them to read only about 20-pages. A few days before the test, especially the night before the test, activity on the site even after midnight

25. Real indicators of success

27. Many approvals after the course was over especially from teachers of network- related subjects.
