Day Course

Cisco - CCIP - Overview

The goal of this fourteen-day accelerated program for Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional (CCIP) Certification is to provide students working in service provider and enterprise companies with the skills to understand, configure, and troubleshoot large-scale IP networking solutions. CCIP professionals will have detailed understanding of networking technologies commonly used in service provider and enterprise companies, including complex IP interior and exterior gateway routing (OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, and BGP), QoS, and MPLS.

Interconnecting companies to ISPs has always been a concern to enterprise organizations. As organizations expand their networks and interconnect to the Internet, extranet partners, and other company locations, the emphasis on providing connectivity, security, and data, voice, and video services efficiently and effectively has moved to the forefront. The market for skilled internetworking professionals like the CCIP has never been better.

Overall, Cisco certification validates an individual’s achievement, increasing the holder’s professional credibility by ensuring high standards of technical expertise. In particular, the Cisco CCIP certification indicates knowledge of Cisco internetworking products and technologies like routing, switching, security, QoS, and MPLS, as well as the ability to use them to build integrated, scalable, and flexible network solutions. CCIP certification indicates that the holder can:

  • Implement interior gateway routing protocols like OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS in a corporate office network of any size
  • Connect to ISPs using BGP
  • Design and manage BGP networks for large corporations and ISPs
  • Understand MPLS and how customers and ISPs implement the technology
  • Using QoS to effectively deliver traffic through a corporate office or ISP network to deal with congestion issues and meet service level agreements (SLAs)
  • Monitor, detect, and fix routing and QoS issues

"The MCPD course is full on. There is not much time to think as you have to cover a vast amount of information in a short time. Expect a lot of late nights. Do a bit of pre-reading. But be assured though that the staff are excellent and do everything in their power to get you through the course. If your are having a late night so are they. Highly recommended. Cheers "
Anon.,
VIRGIN MEDIA.

"Outstanding course, the training centre was entirely focused on the course. The days were long but if you arrive expecting to work hard and are willing to put the effort it definitely pays off. I wont be going to other training centres after this."

Kevin Moore, Columbus.

"Be ready to work harder than you expect to. "
I.H, Catlin Underwriting.

"The CCNA course is very intensive. The amount you can learn in such a small time is incredible. Pre-reading is a must though, some of the concepts are difficult to grasp with the pace of the curriculum making it difficult to catch up. The instructors are always staying behind and coming in early to help, so any problems and questions can be quickly resolved. Although I didnt recieve the full CCNA at the end of this course, it was more down to my lack of experience with Cisco equiptment that than anything at all to do with the training."
Christopher Brett, contract.

"Excellent training and facilities. I chose my Dynamics training with Firebrand as it was recommended to me by an online recruitment agency."
L.B, Morrisons plc.

"I had a great time with Firebrand the staff were great, happy to help you. I found the CISSP course informative and the instructor delivered the material excellently. I liked the way we were immerses in the training really allowed for us to concentrate solely on the end goal of passing the test and becoming certified. I would highly recommend this process and Firebrand Training to my peers and colleagues and will definitely return for future education "
Emma Hodges, not working.
