Description

|| About Network Engineer Training Course

Network building and maintenance requires a certain level of expertise, and certification training courses are a popular way of increasing one’s knowledge and scope of learning as well as validating their skills in the field. All IT professionals, from the beginner level to expert, can benefit from a certification in terms of their career. Certification training courses in networking from various vendors offer different levels of learning using different platforms to successfully build, operate as well as manage both physical and virtual networks.

 

Networking certification online training courses offer various knowledge and expertise levels in terms of network building, implementation, management, and optimization. A networking certified professional is held in high regard by the organization, and they are typically offered better job opportunities with higher pay. The certification training courses offered in network security from Cisco and CompTIA are in great demand. Most of the organizations across industry sectors use Cisco products and services to build their IT architecture. And CompTIA certifications are vendor-neutral, which helps professionals to create a standardized process to create their network architecture.

 

The networking courses are aimed at aspiring and existing network administrators, systems administrators, and more. They teach learners how to efficiently handle modern networks, which can be either physical or virtual, and sometimes even both. There are a number of certifications available for working professionals to choose from, although different ones offer different levels of expertise in different network platforms.

Specialization Training

To earn CCNP Enterprise, you pass two exams: a core exam and an enterprise concentration exam of your choice. And every exam in the CCNP Enterprise program earns an individual Specialist certification, so you get recognized for your accomplishments along the way.

 

The core exam focuses on your knowledge of enterprise infrastructure including dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation. The core exam is also the qualifying exam for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure and CCIE Enterprise Wireless certifications. Passing the core exam will qualify candidates to schedule and take the CCIE lab within the validity of their core exam.Concentration exams focus on emerging and industry-specific topics such as network design, SD-WAN, wireless, and automation.
