Cisco CCNP Service Provider

This course is no longer offered. See all available Cisco certifications.

Get your CCNP Service Provider certification in just 14 days - 30% faster than traditional training.

Get practical skills and knowledge to implement, verify and troubleshoot the Cisco service provider network environment. Learn advanced routing techniques, that allow you to scale Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs. You'll be trained how to increase the number of routers and sites, instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are needed.

The CCNP Service Provider certification is designed to prepare you to work at the Professional level in a Service Provider environment. You'll be able to:

• Plan, implement and monitor scalable IP routing
• Understand common routing
• Introduce different Cisco QoS queuing mechanisms
• Understand Layer 2 VPNs and Ethernet services.

Seven reasons why you should sit your course with Firebrand Training

• Two training options. Choose between residential classroom-based and online courses
• You'll be certified fast. With us, you’ll be trained in record time
• Our course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams**, accommodation* and meals*. No hidden extras.
• Pass the first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course the first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs
• You’ll learn more. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am–5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand, you’ll get at least 12 hours/day of quality learning time with your instructor
• You’ll learn 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
• You’ll be studying with the best. We’ve been named in the 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 over 135,000 professionals
