Why study this course

This five-day course expands your knowledge and skills of service provider core networks. You will gain the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to implement and operate service provider networks using technologies such as core architecture, services, networking, automation, quality of service (QoS), security, and network assurance.

This training prepares you for the 350-501 SPCOR exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist - Service Provider Core certification and satisfy the core exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Service Provider and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Service Provider certifications.

This training also earns you 64 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.

Digital courseware: Cisco provides students with electronic courseware for this course. Students who have a confirmed booking will be sent an email prior to the course start date, with a link to create an account via learningspace.cisco.com before they attend their first day of class. Please note that any electronic courseware or labs will not be available (visible) until the first day of the class.

Exam Vouchers: Cisco exam vouchers are not included in the course fees but can be purchased separately where applicable.
