FAQs

Is the CCNP Enterprise worth it?

Yes, the CCNP Enterprise is a professional-level validation of advanced skills related to modern networking technologies like SD-WAN, automation and security – it's worth the time and effort it takes to earn. The CCNP Enterprise boosts your career by representing your ability to design and manage sophisticated enterprise infrastructures. This course focuses on practical expertise related to designing cloud connectivity especially for enterprise networks.

Is CCNP harder than CCNA?

Cisco has four levels of certification starting at the entry-level CCST and culminating at the expert-level CCIE. CCNP is a category of professional-level certifications. CCNA is an associate-level certification that covers a wide range of topics. The CCNP covers much more advanced topics than the CCNA, which can be harder. But it's arguable that relative to where in their career a person is when they attempt the CCNA and CCNP, the CCNA may be more challenging.

What exams do you need to take to earn the CCNP Enterprise?

Earning the CCNP Enterprise requires passing at least two exams. The first exam is mandatory: 350-401 ENCOR, an advanced test of core Cisco enterprise network technologies. As for the second exam, there are seven concentration exams and you must pass at least one – which one you attempt is up to you. The concentration exams cover topics like advanced routing and services, implementing SD-WAN, network and wireless network design, wireless network implementation, and implementing automation.

How much does it cost to earn the CCNP Enterprise?

It costs at least $700 to earn the CCNP Enterprise. The core CCNP Enterprise exam, 350-401 ENCOR, costs $400 to attempt, and the additional concentration exams cost $300 each. CCNP Enterprise no longer has a prerequisite, but you have to pass at least one concentration exam as well as the core exam, which means you'll pay at least $700. There are no free re-tries, so you will probably want to factor the cost of training and preparation into your total cost.

Why should you take this cloud connectivity and CCNP course?

IT professionals looking to advance their careers into advanced Cisco cloud network administration should take this course. The CCNP Enterprise will be one step closer after you take this course, but you don't need to plan on earning the cert to benefit from the course. Cloud enterprise skills are valuable in today's IT world: learn to master the implementation of cloud connectivity, understand architecture models, configure IPsec & SD-WAN, maintain operations, and design a cloud enterprise network.

Who is this for?

This 300-440 ENCC training is considered associate-level Cisco training, which means it was designed for network admins. This cloud technologies skills course is designed for network admins with three to five years of experience with cloud connectivity.

What our learners say

Practice exams help you have an overview of your readiness. If you have failed a couple questions in one area, you can go back and work on them.

This is the gold standard of video training. You always hear in grade school or college that the best teachers are the ones who are passionate in their field. The CBT Nuggets team are extremely passionate and get you motivated for the material.

When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
