CCNP Enterprise Certification

The CCNP Enterprise Certification paves the way for IT professionals in an exciting variety of fields. Designed to allow professionals to acquire skills that are adaptable and relevant to the consistent changes in enterprise network technologies, this certification program gives candidates the power to make a difference within their careers.

With a CCNP Enterprise Certification, you can determine the best path for your interests and goals. You’ll also be prepared for the future technology brings, easily integrating developments and creating modern solutions.

Due to the continued advancements in technology and the ever-growing connectivity of software and networking, Cisco developed this certification program to prepare candidates for the best of both worlds. Networking professionals can develop a broader range of skills and knowledge in core technologies and move forward to focus on the area they choose.

Cisco’s CCNP candidates often have three to five years of experience working with and implementing enterprise networking technologies and solutions. It’s an ideal certification for IT professionals aiming to take their career to the next level and those who want to expand their networking abilities to include more complex, related technologies.

When 59% of certified employees deliver a higher quality of service, it’s no surprise that 99% of organizations use certifications to make hiring decisions. The average annual salary for a CCNP in the United States is $108,296. With the demand for CCNPs on the rise and a strong salary tied to the work, the value of earning your Enterprise Certification is unmatched.

Candidates must pass two exams to be CCNP Enterprise Certified. First, you must pass a core exam, covering enterprise technologies. The second exam is one of your choosing. The Enterprise concentration exam allows you to customize your certification and focus on a specific technical area that supports your goals.

For each exam you pass within the CCNP Enterprise program, you will earn a Specialist Certification.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, written exams may now be taken remotely. Learn about your current exam options here.

Having completed my CCNA I often got asked if I was going to study for CCNP, and I always thought it would be a step too far. I talked with a colleague and he suggested I look at INE's offerings. Using INE's material with Brian and Keith's study track I managed to successfully achieve my CCNP. Not only have I achieved my goal, I also learned much more across all Cisco tracks and I'm one of the go-to guys when stuff doesn't work. Who knows, maybe a CCIE might not be beyond me in future years with INE by my side.
