A level up from the Associate program by the name of CCNA, CCNP equips a networking specialist with an ability to install, configure and troubleshoot converged, local and Wide Area Network (WAN) of up to 500 or more networking nodes.

After the successful completion of CCNP certification, a networking professional attains the ability to manage routers and switches constituting the network core, as well as applications integrating voice, wireless, and security with the network.

Interested to know more on this all-encompassing course that empowers you with several multitasking abilities and boosts your networking career graph to reach a level above of the mundane mediocrity?

Here we are.

All you need to embark on a CCNP program is to have a CCNA certificate. The course curriculum is offered under following modules:

1. Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)
2. Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
3. Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW)
4. Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT)

• The BSCI module will help you to learn the nitty-gritty of creating efficient and expandable enterprise network by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipments like Cisco ISRs routers according to the Campus Infrastructure module in the Enterprise Composite Network model.

• In BCMSM curriculum, you would get to know the methods to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network by taking complete care of the installation, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting concerns of network infrastructure equipment (especially Catalyst Multilayer Switches) according to the Campus Infrastructure module of Enterprise Composite Network model.

• ISCW module would make you efficient in securing and expanding the reach of enterprise network to teleworkers and remote sites. The course content focuses on making you aware of processes used in securing remote access and VPN client configuration.

• ONT module imparts you with the skill to optimize and use effective QOS techniques in converged networks integrating voice, wireless and security applications.

From the above modules, tests on BSCI and BCMSN modules can be attended via a composite test by name of 642-892 Composite (where 642-892 designates the latest CCNP exam number).

To aid participants of the CCNP program in clearing the certification test, Cisco, in affiliation to several world-wide technical training institutes offer preparatory training classes with a detailed study material on each of the subject matters.
