Want to become a CCNP? There are six steps to help you becoming a CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional) and increasing your chances of capturing the right job and joining network support personnel.
- Compare professional certification options on the Cisco website. Find out that the CCNP is just one of many professional certifications available. Choose the "Participating in the Program" link to find approved Cisco training facilities and schools in your area whether you've obtained the CCNA elsewhere or prefer to change your current training facility or school.
- Finish curriculum requirements and successfully pass the CCNA exam (and possibly obtain the recommended CCENT training/exam beforehand). Certify your capabilities to install, configure, as well as troubleshoot LANs or WANs and become a CCNP.
- Discover that many traditional colleges offer Cisco networking training; however, some don't have higher level certification courses available. Unearth Cisco-approved training facilities and online courses that typically offer higher level Cisco networking certification training. Evaluate cost, convenience and courses.
- Realize that grasping and memorizing CCNP material and coursework is hard work, and the pace and intensity rivals that of the CCNA training. Set up for taking in new complex information as well as taking on new costs and testing.
- Demonstrate new knowledge and skills acquired in CCNP training for managing routers/switches plus integrated voice, wireless as well as security network applications to become a CCNP. Consume information from the "Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)," "Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)," "Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW)" and "Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT)" training courses to become a CCNP. Make sure programs are taught by certified instructors and cover the Cisco-approved CCNP curriculum.
- Double check course details before signing up for a Cisco certification program and investigate the school or training facility to make sure it is Cisco approved. Become a CCNP once you've successfully mastered the curriculum and completed the certification tests. Pass the combination of the 642-901 BSCI, 642-812 BCMSN, 642-825 ISCW and 642-845 ONT required exams; or pass the combination of the 642-892 Composite, 642-825 ISCW and 642-845 ONT required exams.
