CCNP overview

The Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) program teaches the advanced skills required to manage end-to-end converged network infrastructures and prepares students for the Cisco CCNP certification and enterprise networking professions.

Students would be expected to complete a Cisco CCNP module per semester.

CCNP ROUTE	Implementing Cisco IP Routing
CCNP SWITCH	Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks
CCNA TSHOOT	Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks

Please note that students will not be able to enrol for CCNP TSHOOT unless they have completed CCNP ROUTE and CCNP SWITCH. The preferred path would be CCNP ROUTE then CCNP SWITCH then CCNP TSHOOT.
