Overview

CCNA Data Centre - Firebrand Training Official Cisco Learning Partner

This certification retired on 24th February 2020. Our closest replacement is CCNA.

On this accelerated 6-day CCNA Service Provider course, you’ll learn the skills you need to configure, implement, and troubleshoot baseline Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation networks – 40% faster than traditional training.

Using our unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique, your expert instructor will teach you to deploy, maintain and improve carrier-grade network infrastructures.

You’ll also learn about the major components of a service provider network construction and the Cisco service provider IP NGN architecture and how service provider networks function.

Once you've completed your training, you'll be able to deliver a scalable, optimised network, capable of rapid expansion and able to support on-going introduction of new services and other customer needs.

You’ll have 24/7 lab access, which means you can test your practical skills in deploying basic Cisco IOS / IOS XE and Cisco IOS XR software, whenever you like.

On this course, you’ll prepare for and sit the following exams, covered by your Certification Guarantee:

  • 640-875 SPNGN1: Building Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation Networks, Part 1 (SPNG1)
  • 640-878 SPNGN2: Building Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation Networks, Part 2 (SPNGN2)

Seven reasons why you should sit your Service Provider course with Firebrand Training

  1. You'll be Service Provider certified in just 6 days. With us, you’ll be Service Provider trained in record time
  2. Our Service Provider course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass Service Provider first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs
  4. You’ll learn more Service Provider. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn Service Provider faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying Service Provider with the best. We’ve been named in Training Industry’s “Top 20 IT Training Companies of the Year” every year since 2010. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 134,561 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study Service Provider courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering training. Courses that include certification come with a certification guarantee. Pass first time or train again for free (just pay for accommodation and exams on your return). We do not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.
