Day Course

Cisco - CCNP - Overview

Seven reasons why you should sit your CCNP course with Firebrand Training

  1. You’ll be CCNP certified in just 8 days. With us, you’ll be CCNP trained in record time
  2. Our CCNP course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass CCNP first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your CCNP course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
  4. You’ll learn more CCNP. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn CCNP faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying CCNP with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study CCNP courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.

The goal of this 8-day accelerated CCNP course is to provide Cisco IT professionals with the advanced knowledge and skills necessary to support Cisco based networks.

Cisco - CCNP - Benefits

Technical certification is a sound investment in your career. Although certification does not guarantee success, research has shown that it can have a significant impact on:

  • Morale and confidence
  • Efficiency and productivity on the job
  • Monetary rewards
  • Career advancement

Build Your Skills And Your Career: Certify Yourself

Cisco CCNP certification enhances your career path by:

  • Validating achievements, knowledge and hands-on skill base
  • Increasing professional credibility
  • Diversifying and heightening skills, ensuring the ability to tackle the newest, cutting-edge technologies.

A CCNP can do the following:

  • Implement appropriate technologies to build a scalable routed network
  • Build campus networks using multilayer switching technologies
  • Improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy, and performance for campus LANs, routed and switched WANs, and remote access networks
  • Create and deploy a global intranet
  •  Troubleshoot an environment that uses Cisco routers and switches for multiprotocol client hosts and services

Positions for a CCNP include:

  • Network administrator
  • Level 2 support engineer
  • Level 2 systems engineer
  • Network technician
  • Deployment engineer

The Cisco CCNP certification indicates advanced, or "journeyman", knowledge of networks.  With a CCNP, a network professional can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes.

With Firebrand Training, you will:

  • Learn all of the fundamentals
  • Hone your implementation and troubleshooting skills
  • Improve your creative thinking skills
  • Obtain your certification

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need, including:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Friendly competitions between concurrently running classes
  • Independent study
  • Self-testing
