CCNP

CCNP Overview

Manage, configure, and troubleshoot the networks of the large businesses on earth. By obtaining the CCNP Enterprise certification, you can demonstrate that you have the skills necessary to scale and maintain business networks in order to keep up with demand. Showcase your expertise in corporate infrastructure, virtualization, assurance, security, and automation on the ENCOR test, and in the concentration exam of your choosing, show off your specialized knowledge. You must pass both tests to become certified.

This new CCNP certification takes into account the increasing inter-connectivity of workers, hardware, and applications in the organization, enabling CCNP Enterprise certificate holders to compete in the rapidly evolving networking space. This credential is appropriate for IT professionals with 3-5 years of relevant experience who can independently manage Cisco network technologies.
