Cisco CCNP Routing and Switching Certification Boot Camp – 10 Days

The Certification Camps Cisco® Certified Network Professional (CCNP®) Boot camp is an 10-day (no weekends, lodging is included for the weekend off) intense training course certified as a CCNA Cisco network engineers who wish to achieve CCNP certification in an accelerated time frame. This course is presented using a combination of lecture and lab activities and incorporates all the material a student needs to pass both exams.

The CCNP boot camp incorporates Cisco Official Courses:

We are often asked... "How can you achieve certification with just a few days of training?" Certification Boot camps is an accelerated learning environment. We take the Cisco Training Materials - remove the unnecessary content and focus on the topics specific to certification. Our instructors use hands on demonstrations to bring test objectives to life. Students are completely immersed in the technology.

During our instructor led class hours - students are taught with lectures, demonstrations, labs and videos. At the completion of the instructor led class time - students focus on study questions covering the topics of the day and looking over material to be covered the next day.

Boot camp requires commitment to achieve success. Students work an average of 10 to 12 hours a day between class time and self study exercises. Boot camps may sound intimidating and students come with various levels of skill sets - however, they all find success if they commit to our program.

Our instructors explain technical concepts in a way students can see and relate to. No two students are alike - and our class is dynamic to cater to the needs of the students.

WE LIMIT OUR CLASS SIZES TO 12 STUDENTS - THIS ALLOWS FOR MORE ATTENTION FROM THE INSTRUCTOR, MORE SPACE FOR STUDENTS TO WORK AND MORE FOCUSED ENVIRONMENT.

CERTIFICATION CAMPS FACILITIES
