Course & Support

Are there official prerequisites required for the CCNP Enterprise certification?
There are no formal prerequisites mandated by Cisco. However, the level of difficulty for the exam is high, meaning you must possess a solid foundation in network fundamentals?which is equivalent to the knowledge gained from the CCNA?before you should consider attempting the CCNP.
What is the total number of exams I must successfully pass to achieve the CCNP Enterprise certification?
You are required to pass two separate exams : the mandatory core exam (350-401 ENCOR) and one of the available optional concentration exams (e.g., ENARSI, ENSLD).
What is the combined financial cost of the CCNP Enterprise certification exams?
The total cost is the sum of the core exam ($400 USD) and one concentration exam ($300 USD). This total of $700 USD must be paid directly to Cisco's authorized testing partner, Pearson VUE.
For how long is the CCNP certification considered valid?
The CCNP Enterprise certification remains valid for a duration of three years. To maintain your certification, you must recertify by passing a designated qualifying exam or by accumulating sufficient Continuing Education (CE) credits within that three-year timeframe.
Among the concentration exams (ENARSI, ENSLD, etc.), which one should I select?
For the majority of engineers primarily focused on network operations and troubleshooting, we highly recommend the ENARSI (300-410) exam as it offers the most career value. If your career path is focused on design, the ENSLD (300-420) exam is the appropriate choice.
What is the duration of the ENCOR exam?
The ENCOR exam (350-401) is a demanding examination that lasts 120 minutes. It is comprised of approximately 100 questions, which often include complex drag-and-drop items and various simulation-style tasks.
Is it possible to take the CCNP exams remotely online?
Yes, both of the CCNP exams can be taken through online proctoring services provided by Pearson VUE. However, due to known stability issues with online testing and the risk of a technical interruption, we suggest utilizing a physical Pearson VUE testing center.
Is the passing score for the CCNP exams publicly disclosed?
Cisco does not publicly reveal the precise passing score. Historically, to ensure a comfortable margin of success on the actual test, candidates should strive for an accuracy rate of about 80-85% on our mock examinations.
Are there simulation or lab-style questions present on the CCNP exams?
Yes, both the core and concentration exams feature elaborate, multi-command simulation or "lab" questions. These are designed to assess your practical skills in network configuration and troubleshooting. Our training is specifically structured to help you excel in these sections.
Does passing only the concentration exam grant me a certification?
Yes, it does. By successfully passing a concentration exam, you earn a Cisco Certified Specialist designation in that specific technology (for example, Cisco Certified Specialist ? Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation), which is a valuable credential by itself.
What study materials does Cisco officially suggest for the CCNP?
Cisco typically references the official exam topics list, official books, and Cisco U. However, these official resources are often too extensive and general. Our program condenses the essential, exam-relevant information into a focused, practical curriculum.
Following the training, what amount of time should I commit to independent study?
We advise dedicating a minimum of 3-4 weeks of intensive, daily study and lab practice immediately after finishing the instructor-led training. This ensures that the material remains current and fresh for when you take the exam.
What course of action must I take if I fail one of the CCNP exams?
Failing the exam is costly and disheartening. You are required to pay the entire exam fee again to be allowed to retake it. Our program?s pass guarantee offers free re-training to mitigate this financial and career setback.
What are the primary subject domains covered by the ENCOR exam?
The core ENCOR exam covers the domains of Architecture, Virtualization, Infrastructure, Network Assurance, Security, and Automation. It is imperative that you master the Automation component, as it is a mandatory, non-negotiable part of the exam.
Is it possible to proceed directly to the CCNP without first achieving the CCNA?
