CCNP Enterprise

Secure Ninja’s CCNP Enterprise 15-day intensive Boot Camp for the Cisco CCNP Enterprise certification will provide the necessary training to prepare candidates for the core and concentration CCNP Security exams. The bootcamp will provide the necessary training to prepare candidates for the CCNP Enterprise core exam and concentrations in Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services, Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions, Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks, Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks, Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENARSI, ENSDWI, ENSLD, ENWLSI, ENAUTO). Attendees will learn to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of secure enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions using technologies such as dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation.  To attain the CCNP Enterprise certification and gain the knowledge needed to further maintain networks and diagnose and resolve network problems quickly and effectively, students will need to successfully pass the Enterprise core exam and an Enterprise concentration exam.
