Skills Measured by CCNP Certification

This new CCNP certification takes into account the growing network of employees, hardware and applications in the organization and enables CCNP Enterprise certificate holders to compete in the rapidly evolving network space.

This Proof of Entitlement is suitable for IT professionals with 3-5 years of relevant experience who can independently manage Cisco network technologies.

To earn the CCNP Enterprise certification, you must pass two exams: one in Core Network Technologies and one in a concentration of your choice.

The concentration test allows you to align your CCNP with a specific job title. In addition to achieving your CCNP Enterprise, for each additional concentration test you pass, you will receive an individual specialization certificate to validate your enhanced skills.

Options for CCNP concentration testing include areas such as network design, wireless networks, and automation. The full list of CCNP Enterprise exams can be found below.
