The new Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) training courses and exams better reflect the daily job tasks of professional network engineers. By placing more emphasis on the skills to implement and maintain security, complex routing and switching, and voice/video services, these changes make the initials "CCNP" after your name more valuable than ever.
You'll need to pass all three exams: ROUTE, SWITCH, and TSHOOT. The new courses that will help you prepare are:
|
Required Exam(s)
|
Recommended Training
|
|---|---|
| 642-902 ROUTE | Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE) |
| 642-813 SWITCH | Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (SWITCH) |
| 642-832 TSHOOT | Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks (TSHOOT) |
CCNP Recertification
Cisco professional level certifications (CCNP, CCNP Wireless, CCDP, CCSP, CCVP, and CCIP) are valid for three years. To recertify, pass any 642 exam that is part of the professional level curriculum or any CCIE/CCDE written exam before the certification expiration date.
Achieving or recertifying any of the certifications above automatically extends your active Associate and Professional level certification(s) up to the point of expiration of the last certification achieved. For more information, access the Cisco About Recertification page.
