How long is the course and how is it scheduled?

The course runs for approximately two months. Sessions are scheduled on weekends or on weekday evenings to fit around work, and new batches open regularly. You can join a group batch or choose 1-on-1 training for a pace tailored to you.

Can I take this online or does it have to be onsite?

Both options are available. You can attend fully online from anywhere in the world, or onsite in Islamabad if you prefer in-person, mentor-led sessions. The labs and materials are the same in either format.

Do I need a CCNA before starting?

You need CCNA-level knowledge or equivalent hands-on experience, since CCNP is a professional-level, advanced course. Cisco does not formally require you to hold the CCNA certificate to attempt CCNP, but the fundamentals it covers (subnetting, routing, switching, CLI) are assumed from day one. If you are not there yet, our team can advise on the right starting point.

Is this beginner friendly?

No, this is an advanced course aimed at people who already understand networking basics. If you are completely new to networking, a CCNA-level foundation course is the better place to start, and we can point you to one before you enroll in CCNP.

What will I actually build and practice?

The course is hands-on and lab based throughout. You configure and troubleshoot real enterprise topologies covering advanced OSPF, EIGRP and BGP routing, switching and redundancy, wireless, security hardening, and network automation, finishing with a capstone lab where you build, secure and automate a multi-site network.

Does completing the course get me the Cisco CCNP certificate?

You receive a NUEXUS completion certificate when you finish the course. The official Cisco CCNP Enterprise certification is separate: you earn it by passing the ENCOR core exam and a concentration exam directly with Cisco (via Pearson VUE). This course is built to prepare you for those exams and maximize your chances, but it cannot guarantee a pass.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on your region and whether you choose online or onsite, batch or 1-on-1 format. For a current quote, contact the team at nuexus.com/contact or enroll at nuexus.com/trainings.

Overview

What you will be able to do

This is a hands-on, lab-driven CCNP Enterprise course that takes you well beyond associate-level networking into the design, deployment, operation and automation of enterprise infrastructure. Over roughly two months you work through the core ENCOR knowledge areas (enterprise architecture, virtualization, infrastructure with advanced routing and switching, security, network assurance, and automation) plus a routing and services concentration, building and troubleshooting real topologies at every step. It is delivered mentor-led by certified trainers, online from anywhere or onsite in Islamabad, in batch or 1-on-1 format, and finishes with a NUEXUS completion certificate. The course is exam-aligned to the current Cisco CCNP Enterprise track and focused on the practical skills employers actually hire for.

Outcomes

Design and troubleshoot enterprise campus networks using advanced Layer 2 switching (VLANs, trunking, STP variants, EtherChannel) and first-hop redundancy (HSRP, VRRP, GLBP)

Configure and troubleshoot advanced IPv4 and IPv6 routing with OSPF, EIGRP and BGP, including route redistribution, filtering and path control

Explain and work with enterprise network architectures, SD-WAN and SD-Access fundamentals, and network virtualization (VRF, GRE, IPsec, overlay concepts)

Secure network infrastructure with device access control (AAA, TACACS+/RADIUS), control-plane policing, ACLs and common Layer 2 protection mechanisms

Use network assurance tools to monitor and troubleshoot (SNMP, Syslog, NetFlow/Flexible NetFlow, SPAN/RSPAN, IP SLA, debugs and structured troubleshooting)

Automate network tasks using programmability concepts: data formats (JSON), REST APIs, Python basics, and tools like NETCONF/RESTCONF and Cisco DNA Center / EEM scripting

Who it is for

Network engineers and administrators who already hold or match CCNA-level knowledge and want to move into senior or design roles
IT professionals running enterprise LAN, WAN or campus networks who need deeper routing, switching and troubleshooting skills
Support and NOC engineers aiming to specialise in enterprise infrastructure, wireless or network automation
Professionals preparing for the Cisco CCNP Enterprise certification (ENCOR core plus a concentration such as ENARSI)
Anyone targeting roles like network engineer, network consultant, or infrastructure specialist in ISPs, enterprises or managed service providers

Prerequisites

CCNA-level knowledge or equivalent hands-on experience (IP addressing, subnetting, basic routing and switching). A current CCNA is recommended but not formally required by Cisco.
Comfort configuring Cisco IOS devices via the CLI (interfaces, VLANs, static and basic dynamic routing)
A working understanding of the OSI/TCP-IP model and common protocols (TCP, UDP, DNS, DHCP, ARP)
A computer capable of running network simulation/emulation labs (Cisco Packet Tracer, EVE-NG or GNS3); guidance on lab setup is provided

Certification path

Two credentials, and they are not the same thing

This course prepares you for the Cisco CCNP Enterprise certification, which requires passing the 350-401 ENCOR core exam plus one concentration exam such as 300-410 ENARSI (both are separate, paid Cisco exams booked through Pearson VUE and not included in the course fee). The training is closely aligned to the current Cisco exam blueprints and maximizes your readiness, but Cisco sets and scores the exams, so no course can guarantee a pass; certification depends on your own exam performance.
