    1. Cisco CCNP Collaboration Core (350-801 CLCOR)

      Collaboration outages, poor call quality, expired or misconfigured certificates, and loose dial-plan controls create real business risk for organizations that run on Cisco Unified Communications. This intermediate course gives collaboration teams a shared, protocol-level understanding of how CUCM, Webex App calling, SIP, QoS, and secure media work together. It also covers how to keep these systems stable. Built for collaboration engineers, voice specialists, and senior support staff, the training covers high availability, disaster recovery, and CUCM upgrades. It also covers X.509 certificates, LDAP and SSO integration, SRTP, endpoint provisioning, call routing, and toll fraud prevention. Learners finish able to configure dial-plan components, deploy endpoints manually or in bulk, and build QoS policies. They can also troubleshoot DNS, NTP, LDAP, DHCP, registration, SIP call flow, and dial-plan issues using RTMT traces. At roughly 63 hours, this is a substantial investment that IT Directors and Training Managers can phase by operational domain: security, routing, endpoint deployment, troubleshooting, and QoS. Virtual Labs provide hands-on QoS practice with class maps, policy maps, policing, shaping, and WRED. Playlists and Team Reporting help leaders sequence modules and track completion across the team.

Concentration Exam — Required

Every engineer on the CCNP Collaboration path takes 300-815.

    1. 300-815 CLACCM

      This CCNP Collaboration training prepares learners to take the 300-815 CLACCM v1.2 exam, which is one of the concentration exams required to earn the CCNP Collaboration certification. Cisco's telephony, VoIP and collaboration networks do a lot of heavy lifting for collaboration engineers and network administrators, but advanced configurations of a Cisco phone network still require detailed technical knowledge and experience. Use this training as 300-815 CLACCM exam prep, and prove your mastery of calls and mobility services.

Customer outcome

Build CCNP capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the CCNP Collaboration courses to the engineers who need them, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished, and who has passed the practice exam — the view leadership uses to see Cisco skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

See team pricing

Team capability

Make CCNP a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on CCNP gives leadership a clear picture of Cisco skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.

Frequently asked questions about CCNP Collaboration training

Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating CCNP Collaboration training for their team.

How does CCNP Collaboration fit into our internal compliance and governance program?

Team reporting in CBT Nuggets documents assigned training, completion and certification coverage for internal governance or external audit conversations. Pair the CCNP Collaboration path with your auditor's control crosswalk for the formal compliance mapping your framework requires.

Who on the team should hold CCNP Collaboration, and what can a certified team own?

IT leaders typically frame CCNP Collaboration in operational terms — which roles and systems a certified engineer can own, defensible role coverage, predictable onboarding, and audit-ready training documentation. The measures that matter are time to resolve, time to productivity for new Cisco hires, and certification coverage by role rather than seat time.

What does CBT Nuggets CCNP Collaboration training include for a team?

CBT Nuggets CCNP Collaboration courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to Cisco's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

How do I assign and track CCNP Collaboration training for my team?

From the admin console, managers assign the CCNP Collaboration courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

How long does it take to certify a team on CCNP Collaboration?

It depends on the team's starting baseline and how much time each engineer can give the linked courses each week. Most teams plan the training as an assigned playlist with a target date, and the team report shows who has finished the courses and the practice exams before anyone books the exam.

What if Cisco updates the CCNP Collaboration exam objectives?

CBT Nuggets updates Cisco course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When Cisco restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
