Cisco? Certified Network Professional (CCNP?) Boot Camp

Unfiled

Boston University Corporate Education Center
Training Provided by Boston University Corporate Education Center Our intensive 10-day boot camp will prepare you to become a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP.) We use Cisco Authorized Curriculum sponsored by Element K, a Cisco Learning Solutions Partner, supplemented with many hands-on labs and additional preparation materials. Our instructors are Cisco-authorized and have many years of experience working with Cisco products both in the field and in the classroom. Each student will be provided with access to equipment that will be dedicated for their use for the duration of the boot camp. Students will have access to practice exams throughout in order to gauge their progress and determine areas that require further study.

The following four courses are consolidated into our CCNP Boot Camp:

  • Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)
  • Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
  • Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN)
  • Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT)

Course Hours

Boot camps are intense. Class starts at 8:00 AM with review and open lab. Instruction begins at 8:30 AM and continues until 5:00 PM with several short breaks including lunch. Each day concludes with an evening session during which certification exams are taken, and exam preparation continues until 8:00 PM.


 

Online Resource Center
Providing web based resources before, during, and after your classroom training, our Boot Camp Resource Center give students and instructors an online forum for sharing information. Features include:

  • Discussion forums in which students and instructors can post questions and answers
  • Question submission form by which students can ask private questions of instructors
  • Reading lists to assist students in preparation prior to class start
  • Frequently asked questions
  • Links to additional resources

Participation in our boot camps requires a committed effort before, during, and sometimes after your boot camp classroom training. The Online Resource Center is available throughout the process to help achieve your certification goals.

Pre-class preparation and online resources
Pre-class preparation is essential to your success in this certification program. Prior to the start of class, you will receive materials and instructions on how to prepare. In addition, you will receive access to our Online Resource Center that provides access to detailed course information and additional preparation resources. Access to instructors via discussion forums and private question forms is also provided. Proper preparation will enhance your success rate, and we want to insure that all of your questions are answered and that you are fully prepared when class begins.

Testing
One testing voucher per CCNP exam is included with the course. Time to take the CCNP exams will be provided during class. If you participate fully in pre-class preparation and online mentoring, an additional voucher will be provided should you fail an exam on this first attempt. In the event that you don?t feel ready to take one or more of the exams during the boot camp, vouchers will be provided to allow you to take the exams at a later date.

Exams to be taken:

  • Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) 642-801
