CCNP Enterprise Certification and Training

CCNA 200-301

CCNP Enterprise Certification and Training

Introduction:

Software and networking become more and more interconnected every day.
Technology advances are enabling new applications and businesses that connect
everything—people, devices, machines, and applications. And with intent-based
networking, organizations can take advantage of automation to scale and secure
their networking infrastructure. To capitalize on these opportunities, today’s
networking professionals need a broader range of skills and deeper focus in
strategic technology areas. The CCNP Enterprise certification program gives you
exactly that breadth and depth.

Achieving CCNP Enterprise certification proves your skills with enterprise networking solutions. To earn CCNP Enterprise certification, you will have to pass two exams: one that covers core enterprise technologies and one enterprise concentration exam of your choice, so you can customize your certification to your technical area of focus.

  • The core exam focuses on your knowledge of enterprise infrastructure including dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation. The core exam is also the qualifying exam for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure and CCIE Enterprise Wireless certifications. Passing this exam helps toward earning any or all of these certifications.
  • Concentration exams focus on emerging and industry-specific topics such as network design, SD-WAN, wireless, and automation. You can prepare for concentration exams by taking corresponding Cisco training courses.



CCNP Enterprise Training

We have put together a solid Five-day course for each of the CCNP Enterprise module and six Saturdays only for the weekend class.

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites for CCNP Enterprise, but you should have a good understanding of the exam topics before taking the exam.  CCNP candidates often also have three to five years of experience implementing enterprise networking solutions.
