Which CCNP Enterprise Specialty Exam Should You Take?
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 01. 2021
- You need to pass 2 exams to earn the Cisco CCNP certification: The ENCOR 350-401 core exam, and one of the concentration exams.
That’s where it gets complicated. There are 6 different concentration exams! Which one should you pick?! In this video, CBT Nuggets trainer Knox Hutchinson (@DataKnox) will walk you through the concentration exams, and let you know which one he thinks is your best bet.

On the advice of this video, I decided to take the ENSLD before the ENCOR. I have since passed the ENSLD exam, and I'm now studying for the ENCOR exam. I have to say, that was a really good bit of advice. I'm several hours of study time in and the biggest difference between the two so far is, the ENSLD goes a lot more into the theory and details of how a protocol or service works, but the ENCOR goes into the process of configuring the service/protocol. I really like that approach. If you are interested getting CCNP Enterprise, I would definitely give the ENSLD+ENCOR serious consideration.
You going to go for any other specializations in the enterprise tract after completing these 2?
I'd never thought about taking (or studying) the 300-420 before the ENCOR but, looking at the content, makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing!
tons of useful information on the CCNP tracks, thank you!
Thank you, it was very useful and helped me a lot how to proceed once I got my ENCOR.
Thanks for explaining the ccnp ent process. great video.
This was so helpful thank you
Brilliant video and was super useful. Can you also do a similar video for the DC track please?
thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you
Looking for this vid bout 3 months tnx
You convinced me. Just pulled the trigger on the official cert guide for CCNP Enterprise Design ENSLD 300-420 guide book.
Glad to hear it, Eric! As a good side-by-side with the OCG, check out our full course on the ENSLD 300-420, here: www.cbtnuggets.com/it-training/cisco/300-420-ensld
@@cbtnuggets I have a membership with CBTnuggets so I'll definitely be relying upon both as I go through the material.
@@lionscircle4700 How’s the progress so far?
@@gravydude9787 consistency is getting the job done. No life though burning the midnight oil. Hope this cert is worth all the sacrifice. Will keep this thread updated once I pass.
@@lionscircle4700 requesting update Lion!
I didn't even realise there was specialties within the specalties...
Damn… I should have watched this three months earlier because I’ve been preparing for ENCOR…anyways I am committed now so will continue.
Keep up the great work! You got this.
hi Knox, planning to start my ccnp cert. I checked CBT's site on subscription options (monthly & annual). is there any diff bet. the 2 aside from the cost? or do the 2 options differ also on included materials and features (like inclusion of virtual labs, practice exams, coaching, etc., as compared to INE's)... thanks
Hi Eric! Thanks for the great questions. The features included with the CBT Nuggets monthly and annual subscriptions are the same. Learners can sign-up for either term, allowing for flexibility. Good luck on your CCNP prep, and I hope you take a look at our CCNP training, starting with the ENCOR! www.cbtnuggets.com/it-training/cisco/ccnp-enterprise-core
Hi how about renewing? Do i just do the encor exam or taking a specialty exam will renew my ccnp?
Dear comrade engineer, if I am interested mostly in the knowledge that connects cisco to different cloud service providers : aws, azure or google cloud ... Is the data centre dccor the best choice or the encor ? I am really confused and confusion is killing my health really without kidding
which ccnp would be great for a data center?
What would be the path for collaboration ? pleas.
Is that the cisco logo under "happiness is" ?
Thanks for the video!
I have got a question for you, Is there any foundational knowledge should I get before getting into ENAUTO, like basic courses for Automation or Can I directly start with the course?
I would suggest DEVASC for sure first. Both exams have similar things and DEVASC has trasversal information you might want to see.
@@IngleseAngel I expected this. Thanks for reinforcing it!
Which is a better combo certification to work from home in IT? 1)CEH W/Splunk 2)CCNA W/CCNP or 3) CySA+ W/CEH
2 with splunk
Thanks for the info,!
How much Linux is needed for CCIE enterprise?
What would be the path for CCNP Security?
Hope this hasn't come to late, but there is a security core exam, and then security specialisms. It is exactly the same format, just different exams.
Which track and concentration does the market want?
Same queston here.
I want to pursue the CCNP DevNet certification after 3 years of being a CCNA with 4 years of Networking Knowledge. If I take the DEVCOR Exam, what are my options for concentration exams in the DevNet field?
Can you take SCOR (security) and ENARSI (enterprise) to get CCNP (enterprise) ?
Hi Naz, thank you for your question! To earn the CCNP Enterprise certification, you need to earn the ENCOR core exam plus 1 specialty, from the set of: ENARSI, ENSDWI, ENSLD, ENWLSD, ENWLSI, or ENAUTO. The SCOR is a Security exam, associated with the CCNP Security. More info on the CCNP Enterprise can be found here: www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/certifications/professional/ccnp-enterprise.html#~exams
@@cbtnuggets Hey Guys, can you please make a similar video on "Which CCNP Security Speciality exam should You take?"
I recently passed my CCNA. But I'm not sure whether going for the CCNP is worth it because I'm not yet working in the field of networking. If somebody can shed some light on this, I'll be really grateful.
Start applying for jobs. Do some CCNP if you have the time.
This is me and I am applying for jobs but most jobs say they want ccnp.
@@readbeforeyoureply64 I do not see "most jobs say they want CCNP". In fact, I see a disgusting number of jobs hiring with nothing. Outsourcing is murder. Keep looking. If you have CCNA, you should be able to get "a job"...a solid living wage job. Maybe the job title you are pursuing is out of your league without a CCNP? In that case, if you just got your CCNA and dont have your CCNP and havent even worked in the field yet, you GENUINELY have no business in a position that "requires" a CCNP. Just get a Network-related job to get started. From there, work on your CCNP and every month in a CCNA job is like a 1-UP on getting a CCNP job once you have the cert. You need at least a year on your resume to convince people to give you a CCNP job... honestly, I wouldnt feel safe applying for a CCNP job until you have about 5 years experience, at least from an embellished resume perspective. Good luck!
@@kckoellein everytime I apply I go for entry level jobs or just "CCNA" jobs but I rarely get replies and most network technician/admin/engineer jobs say CCNP as a requirement. I have been trying to learn and push for CCNP maybe that can push me a step further since I lack work experience. Maybe if I had experience I'd be hired but I don't, everything I know is from labs, I lab everyday, I do configs everyday to practice so I am just hoping if I get a CCNP it would bring me closer.
Does anyone have experience as to how CCNP concentration exam in security compares to CompTIA Security + ?
TBH, they are on completely different planes with CCNP being well above. Sec+ is an intermediate level cert that the average person can study and probably pass in about 2-4 months.
CCNA took me about 4 months of studying but I'd also been working in the field for 2 years at that point. If you are going to start somewhere, that's where I would start. If you want an easier networking cert to start with Network+, but not gonna lie it's not super useful on its own but the knowledge from it is!
CCNP takes that to the next level and you will likely be studying for closer to 8-12 months, in addition will be expected to have some years of real world experience to help you along the way.
This is of course, my opinion, and from my own observations and your mileage may vary.
@@statiiic oh that sounds challenging and i like it. I was expecting something like that so got my self few books and gonna try them all just to gather better understanding. I have uploaded my 1st video in regards to my journey. I would appreciate any inputs on it from someone who is in the field from time to time. So if you have time please drop a comment when ever you can. No need to sub or like. Channel is purely to support others, need to make v2 of my video
@@statiiic i recently passed my CCNA but I'm not currently employed in networking field. Given that, do you think it'd be worth it to go for CCNP or just pursue security+ instead?
@@statiiicYou’re right. Today I will go for Enarsi amd it took me about 7 months to study consistently. Hoping it will be a success
This was definitely useful. So, we are not even talking about CCNA level?
Since 2019, the CCNA 200-301 exam replaced every other CCNA exam (such as security, RS, wireless...), so it basically certifies you're already on a very good level of knowledge
Do we need to complete both the exams to earn the certificate?
You'll need to pass two exams. CCNP Enterprise is being updated, so the last day to take the current version is Sept 19, 2023: learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/ccnp-enterprise
Good luck with your studying!
Which CCNP Security Speciality exam should I take?
SNCF is good if you want to specialize in firewalls and be able to use Cisco firepower, SISE if you want to specialize in using ciso Identity Services Engine(ISE)
@@Blackreaper95 Which one is more in demand? I guess because of cloud technology, the security landscape has shifted towards Identity Security than Firewall based traditional perimeter security.
@@satyamdubey8836 I believe a lot of these cloud networks are being deployed behind next generation firewalls and Cisco firepower is also software and hardware based and can be used on none Cisco networks. As to what is in demand that it would depend on where you live, I'd use Dice, Indeed, and Zip recruiter in order to find network security job listings and seen what is a common skill set employers are looking for. In my area (Denver Colorado) firewall experience is in in demand and the ability to deploy firewalls behind clouds services and knowledge of identity services help. So it's looking like you might have to do both SNCF and SISE.
@@Blackreaper95 Thanks for you help! Appreciate it.
@@satyamdubey8836 No problem
