ICT Academy

The Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) builds on the CCNA certification and is composed of four separate courses: Building Scalable Internetworks (BSI), Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Network (ISCW), Building Multilayered Switched Networks (BMSN) and Optimising Converged Networks (OCN).  These four courses cover the learning objectives of the CCNP certification exam which is the second step in the Cisco certification path.

The four courses will provide delegates with the knowledge and skills required to install, configure and troubleshoot converged local and wide area networks.  With a CCNP certification, a network professional demonstrates the knowledge and skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless and security into the network.
