Cisco Systems Announces New Enhancements to the Cisco Certified
Network Professional (CCNP) Program
Cisco Systems, Inc. proudly announces enhancements to the Cisco
Certified Network Professional (CCNP(R)) program by introducing
four revised courses and exams. The updated course and exam
content reflects a greater emphasis on topics such as security,
converged networks, quality of service (QoS), virtual private
networks (VPN), and broadband technologies.
Under the new guidelines, the four courses and four exams will include:
* Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) - BSCI 642-801 Exam
(Beta Exam available # 643-801)
* Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) - BCMSN 642-811 Exam
(Beta Exam available # 643-811)
* Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN): BCRAN 642-821 Exam
(Beta Exam available # 643-821)
* Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT): CIT 642-831 Exam
(Beta Exam available #643-831)
To foster a skills-oriented learning opportunity for candidates,
Cisco also expanded the hands-on component of the CCNP courses and
exams to include more remote lab exercises and simulations. The
simulations are aimed at qualifying a candidate's ability to perform
multiple tasks such as building, configuring, and troubleshooting
converged networks.
"For certifications, Cisco has maintained a focus on real world
problem-solving skills for its certified professionals," says Don
Field, senior manager, Internet Learning Solutions Group (ILSG),
Cisco Systems, Inc. "The revised CCNP curriculum and exams
strengthen that tradition by relying on problem solving techniques
and 'hands-on' skills development to train and qualify networking
professionals."
The existing CCNP courses will retire on July 7, 2003 and the exams
will retire on August 7, 2003.
