Certification alignment and training scope

Certification requires two exams: 350-401 ENCOR plus one current concentration exam. ENCOR alone does not earn the full CCNP Enterprise certification.

Core alignment: ENCOR v1.2. Cisco’s current training guidance and release notes identify this version. Wireless topics retained in older v1.1 training are not presented here as current ENCOR exam coverage.

ARA’s offering focuses on enterprise core preparation. Concentration-specific training is a separate scope request, subject to confirmation; the Cisco options listed below are not a bundle of ARA courses.

Reference information checked September 24, 2026. Confirm Cisco’s requirements again before booking an examination.

Who CCNP Enterprise Training Is For

Network engineers, network administrators, infrastructure and support engineers, and professionals responsible for enterprise connectivity who want to progress beyond foundational configuration and troubleshooting.

Recommended Background

Comfort with IP addressing, VLANs, routing, switching, and basic troubleshooting is recommended. Familiarity with Python and structured data is helpful. Cisco has no formal CCNP Enterprise certification prerequisites; CCNA-level knowledge is recommended preparation, not a required credential.

What you will learn

Explain enterprise architecture and resilient network design choices.
Interpret routing, switching, and virtualization behavior.
Use network evidence to diagnose infrastructure and service problems.
Connect secure operations, assurance, and automation to daily engineering work.

Explore the ENCOR Core Curriculum

Explore the modules below. The agreed training plan sets the depth and practical focus for your experience and goals.

Enterprise architecture

Compare campus and WAN design choices, redundancy, forwarding behavior, and the roles of Catalyst SD-WAN and SD-Access.

Virtualization

Explain virtual devices, routing separation, tunnels, and overlays, connecting logical design to traffic behavior.

Infrastructure

Work through VLANs, trunking, spanning tree, link aggregation, OSPF, eBGP, route selection, and resilient IP services.

Network assurance

Use logs, telemetry, monitoring, and verification output to build evidence, isolate failures, and assess service health.

Security

Examine secure administration, access controls, AAA, and infrastructure protection in practical operating scenarios.

Automation and artificial intelligence

Interpret Python, JSON, APIs, and programmable interfaces. Connect repeatable network changes with verification, and examine the role of AI-assisted management workflows.

Explore Current Concentration Paths

These are Cisco’s certification options, listed for orientation. They are separate from ARA’s core course; ask about the availability and scope of any concentration-specific training.

300-410 ENARSI — Advanced routing and infrastructure services.
300-415 ENSDWI — Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN implementation.
300-420 ENSLD — Enterprise network design.
300-435 ENAUTO — Enterprise automation and programmability.
300-440 ENCC — Secure cloud connectivity.
300-445 ENNA — Enterprise network assurance.

Practical learning

Review configuration examples, follow packet-forwarding decisions, interpret operational outputs, and troubleshoot routing, switching, and service faults. Guided automation exercises connect readable data and controlled changes to verification and documentation.

Demonstrations, guided configuration examples, discussion, and troubleshooting activities are selected for the course. Any hands-on environment or access requirements are agreed before the program begins.

CCNP Enterprise Delivery Options

Intensive Boot Camp

Focused, instructor-led training through a concentrated schedule, with technical instruction, demonstrations, and practical exercises appropriate to the selected course.

Live Online Training

Interactive remote instruction with technical explanations, demonstrations, discussion, and guided exercises.

Private Team Training

Training adapted to an organization’s technologies, participant experience, and operational requirements.

Boot camp describes the schedule; live online describes the delivery method. A boot camp may be delivered live online. Scope, schedule, and practical arrangements are agreed for each inquiry.
