The CCNP ™ certification (Cisco Certified Network Professional) indicates advanced or journeyman knowledge of networks. With a CCNP ™, a network professional can install, configure, and troubleshoot local and wide area networks for enterprise organisations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes. The content emphasises topics such as security, converged networks, quality of service (QoS), virtual private networks (VPN) and broadband technologies.
To acheive the CCNP ™ certification you must have your CCNA ™. It is highly recommended that you have passed the CCNA exam(s) before attending this intense 14-day boot camp.
The CCNP ™ Boot Camp comprises the following courses:
Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) Exam 642-891 Composite
Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) Exam 642-891 Composite
Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN) Exam 642-821
Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT) Exam 642-831
