CCNP Data Center Certification

The CCNP Data Center prepares you for today's professional roles in Data Center technologies. The CCNP Data Center certification has been expanded to include automation and programmability to help you scale your data centre infrastructure. The CCNP is one of the most recognised certifications in the industry and validates the expertise you need while maintaining core competency flexibility.

Each exam in the CCNP Data Centre Programme earns an individual specialist certification, so you are recognised for your achievements along the way.

There are no formal prerequisites for the CCNP Data Center, but you should have a good understanding of the exam topics before taking the exams, and the relevant course preparation will help you with this. CCNP candidates often also have three to five years of experience implementing data centre solutions.

To earn certification, you pass two exams: A Core exam and another subject-related exam of your choice.

To gain the basic knowledge and skills you need to configure Cisco® Data Center technologies, we also recommend that newcomers to the subject take theDCFNDU - Understanding Cisco Data Center Foundations course in advance.

€ 264 plus VAT.
plus processing fee € 35,- are not included in the participant price.
