CCNP™ Boot Camp

Full Course Description

Price 10,995

To remain competitive in today’s fast moving economy, a certain set of advanced skills is required. When those advanced skills are proven by passing rigorous batteries of tests, you become competitive.

Global’s approach to the CCNP Certification is as intense as the testing. Our twelve-day program puts the focus where the focus belongs – on the skills necessary to become certified. Featuring the essential elements from four different Cisco courses, BSCN, BCMSN, BCRAN and CIT, this program will have you working harder than you’ve ever worked before – with results! Also included in the program are the test fees required to pass. At the end of the program, your Routing, Switching, Remote Access and Troubleshooting skills will be proven and certified.

You learn…
Advanced IP Routing – IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF

Exams

You will take the following exams during the boot camp:
Foundation 2.0 Exam 640-509
Support 2.0 Exam 640-506

Prior to the start of this boot camp, you will receive a library of Study Guides that will help you prepare for this intense training experience. Qualified candidates have an 85% pass rate.

*This boot camp runs 12 days. Class begins each day by 8:00 AM and students should expect class to run late into the evening on most days. In a typical boot camp it is not uncommon for some students to remain past 9:00 PM.
